Hello all,
I have been working with scripted builds for sometime now involving .cmd
files combined with either Python or Perl to get the job done. I am now
moving over to nant to do my work for me however I think I may need to
change how I am used to designing the builds.
Before I would create a setenv.cmd file which when opening a cmd window,
it would set environment variables I need to work with including paths
and such. Then I could issue something like "build release" and then my
entire product, which is laid out in multiple subdirectories at various
levels, would then proceed to be built.
My questions are these:
1. Is the best way to do what I want with nant to use the same
model and execute something like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="testing chained calling" >
<exec program="nant.exe"
commandline="-buildfile:C:\enlistments\Main\src\Comp1\subcomp1\subcomp.b
uild" verbose="true" failonerror="true" />
<exec program="nant.exe"
commandline="-buildfile:C:\enlistments\Main\src\Comp1\subcomp2\subcomp.b
uild" verbose="true" failonerror="true" />
<exec program="nant.exe"
commandline="-buildfile:C:\enlistments\Main\src\Comp2\subcomp1\subcomp.b
uild" verbose="true" failonerror="true" />
<exec program="nant.exe"
commandline="-buildfile:C:\enlistments\Main\src\Comp2\subcomp2\subcomp.b
uild" verbose="true" failonerror="true" />
</project>
Or is there another way? This seems like a really lame way to do it. It
works with script files, but ... :-)
2. Is there a way without modifying the NAnt.exe.config file to
persist the global settings I normally setup in my setenv.cmd file I
mentioned earlier? In other words I would like to load them into
properties that can then be accessed through-out my build environment.
Thanks!
