It always returns false irrespective of existence of file. Can someone pls verify it?? Thanks, Tushar ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Gert Driesen (drieseng) Date: 2007-03-19 16:13 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=707851 Originator: NO There's no buglet here (except for perhaps a lack of documentation). In functions, properties should not be enclosed in '${...}' if you want to use their expanded value. Use this: <if test="${file::exists(filepath)}"> ... </if> instead of: <if test="${file::exists('${filepath}')}"> ... </if> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: rafpalm (rafpalm) Date: 2007-03-19 15:30 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1747363 Originator: NO I have found also this problem file::exists() function is not working properly.

We are using svn 1.4.3 btw - but don't think it could somehow influence the file:exists function. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Tushar K (tusharkesare) Date: 2007-02-26 06:11 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1726760 Originator: YES Hi, Thanx for reply. Here is code I am using: <target name="build"> <property name="filepath" value="c:\mallow.exe"/> <echo message="${filepath}"/> <if test="${file::exists('${filepath}')}"> <echo message="File Exists"/> </if> <if test="${not file::exists('${filepath}')}"> <echo message="File does not Exist"/> </if> </target> In any case it prints, "File does not Exist". Version of NAnt.Core.dll present is 0.85.2478.0 I am not able to figure out what is wrong. Thanx, Tushar ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Gert Driesen (drieseng) Date: 2007-02-25 21:00 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=707851 Originator: NO svn 1.4.2 ?
