In this case local.properties is a property itself defined in the line above
the if statement:
<property name="local.properties" value="${root.dir}\local.properties.xml"
/>
<if test="${file::exists(local.properties)}">
<echo message="Local properties file exists!" />
<include buildfile="${path::get-full-path(local.properties)}" />
</if>
I did however fix my problem. Turns out that I did not have an xmlns
attribute on my <project> element in local.properties.xml so it was not
loading the file. Previous versions of NAnt didn't care if there was an
xmlns there and I had only used it for intellisense in Visual Studio. When I
added that attribute, the file loads fine and the properties are now
available.
Sorry for trolling without investigating all possibilities!
