Just an FYI on this topic:

I have quite recently tried to get the VSSGet with Label functionality to
work and have had problems.  I have the syntax right and don't get any build
failures.  When I request a specific label of a VSS project it seems to
ignore it.  The docs say you can specify a label, version number, or date.
I tried several different cases and never seem to get anything to work.  It
just so happens that my "labels" look like this: "9999.9999".  I try that in
the version attribute of the vssget task and it doesn't fail, but doesn't
work.  If I try a text label, it fails.  Perhaps my label is getting
confused for a version number??

(Please note that the failures mentioned above were NOT NAnt failures, but
SourceSafe interop failures saying that the version argument was improperly
formatted or wrong type.  Sorry I don't have the exact error, it was days
ago.)

* Does anyone know how the task distinguishes between versions/labels/dates?
* How do I enter text labels or dates?
* Does the task work on projects as well as files?
* If it works on projects does it only get files that have that same label
in that project? (It should shouldn't it?)

Thanks,
Peter

Subject: [Nant-users] Nant VssGet Functionality question


Good Afternoon

            I have been using Nant for a while to auto build all of our .net
applications.

I am currently running build: 0.8.2.21793

I am currently using the vssget functionality to pull the latest version
checked into source safe.

Now a request has been submitted for me to research and see if nant can pull
source code from a specific label in source safe.

I needing to know if nant currently has this functionality?

If the functionality is present could I get a sample of the syntax for
pulling a certain label from source safe.

Thanks

Chris Hogan
