I need a NAnt project to do some work and then wait for some event to
occur, such as a specific file in a specific directory to appear. To do
this I will need some sort of "while (file-exists != "true")"
capability. This means I would need 2 capabilities; a "sleep" taks
(which is present) and a looping construct. Are there *any* looping
constructs in NAnt?
Let me explain what I am trying to do. I have a CruiseControl.NET
project which does a <forceBuild> on three other CCNet projects that run
in parallel. I need something on the back end which waits until all 3
worker projects have completed and then continues on with more build
steps. I'm not concerned with contention here; the projects literally
running in parallel are not a performance issue. So I have:
Startup project -> does a <forceBuild> on 3 worker projects -> BackEnd
project waits on all 3 worker projects to complete and does more work.
I had been looking into having the BackEnd project use CCNet for the
sync, but due to limitations there I cannot do this (the worker projects
may finish hours apart). So I changed the above scheme to be:
Startup project -> does a <forceBuild> on 3 worker projects. 1 of the
worker projects ends by doing a <forceBuild> on the BackEnd project ->
BackEnd project runs a NAnt task which waits for the other 2 worker
projects to complete and then does more work.
I am attempting to write a NAnt project which does a type of multiple
project synchronization. It seems like I have seen in this list some
references on how to do this, but a quick search of the archives found
nothing. Any help would be appreciated.
