Foreach already supports filesets. Search the nant archives for a couple discussions that exactly solve this problem (of recursively building) using foreach filesets.
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Simon Steele Sent: Wednesday, June 04, 2003 4:01 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I would have said that this would be better achieved by using a fileset and adding foreach support for filesets: Fileset "subdirs" excludes CVS includes directories Foreach item="fileset" in="subdirs" property="foldername" ... This way we use the standard way of building up lists of files/directories. Just me two english pence. Simon. -----Original Message----- From: Greco Giuseppe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 04 June 2003 05:33 To: Nant-Developers (E-Mail) Subject: [nant-dev] NAnt & CVS Directories Hi all, To recursively build all my subprojects, I've written a task like this: <foreach item="Folder" in="." property="foldername"> <nant buildfile="${foldername}/default.build" target="${project.config} ${target}/> </foreach> That works fine until I don't import my project into CVS... After importing a project into CVS, each project's subdirectory contains a CVS directory which doesn't contain a build file, and the task above fails... A workaround would be to add failonerror="false" to the <nant> task, but in that way it would be difficult to notice if a subproject fails (that is really true for big projects with lots of subprojects). So, I think either we have to add a property to the <foreach> task in order to be able to discriminate the CVS directories <foreach item="Folder" in="." property="foldername" exclude="CVS"> <nant buildfile="${foldername}/default.build" target="${project.config} ${target}" failonerror="false"/> </foreach> or NAnt should automatically ignore CVS directories. What do you think about that? PS: I apologise if I always send emails in HTML format: the problem is that here at T-System the standard mail client is Outlook, and even if I configured it to send out emails in plain text, Outlook still send them as HTML documents (that doesn't occur when I send you emails from my Linux machine at Agamura).
