Use the loadtasks target before you call MSBuild.
<loadtasks assembly="{PATH TO YOUR NANT CONTRIB DLL}" />Brian Wilson Programmer Analyst, Associate Department of Human Resources Email: brian.wil...@dhr.alabama.gov From: Jed Padilla [mailto:jpadi...@flclerks.com] Sent: Thursday, May 26, 2011 2:49 PM To: 'Brass Tilde' Cc: nant-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [NAnt-users] Solution format of file is not supported. I guess I am missing something simple. I went out and downloaded nantcontrib 0.85. I tried adding the following to my build.FACCBase target <msbuild project="FACCBase.sln"> <property name="Configuration" value="debug"/> </msbuild> And now I am getting the error Invalid element <msbuild>. Unknown task or datatype. I put NAntContrib in a different spot that I put NAnt 0.9, and changed my nant.bat file to reflect the new location. What did I not do correctly? I think once I overcome this initial hurdle I will be good to go.

We've found that it's easiest to just use the MSBuild task, rather than the solution task, which calls out to MSBuild itself.

The project I am working on has 10 different solutions to it, and each solution usually has multiple projects within that will output dll files for the final solution to use. I have a very simple .build file right now: <project name="Solution Build Example" default="rebuild"> <property name="configuration" value="release"/> <target name="clean" description="Delete all previously compiled binaries."> <delete> <fileset> <include name="**/bin/**" /> <include name="**/obj/**" /> </fileset> </delete> </target> <target name="build" description="Build all targets."> <call target="build.FACCBase"/> </target> <target name="rebuild" depends="clean, build" /> <target name="build.FACCBase"> <solution configuration="${configuration}" solutionfile="FACCBase.sln"> </solution> </target> </project> The clean part is working fine, however when I get to the build portion I get errors: Solution format of file 'C:\TESTTFS\FACCBase\FACCBase.sln' is not supported. I am sure that you all will need more information to help me, so if you tell me what I am missing to get this working I will provide as much as I can. The solution in question has 8 projects and an active config of Debug|Any CPU Thanks.
