RE: [Nant-users] Scoping issues with task, passing properties with inheritall="false"

[Bill.Martin]

Which version of Nant are you using Troy?  There was a bug in .084 where properties in the <nant> task where evaluated in the context of the script being called rather than the calling script.  This is fixed in the latest nightly builds and the syntax you have should work.   HTH,   Bill     -----Original Message----- From: Troy Laurin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 16 June 2004 03:24 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Nant-users] Scoping issues with <nant> task, passing properties with inheritall="false"   Am I using this the wrong way?   <property name="test-property-to-pass" value="foo" /> <nant buildfile="foo.build" target="foo.target" inheritall="false">   <properties>     <property name="test-property" value="${test-property-to-pass}" />   </properties> </nant>     The above fails (Property 'test-property-to-pass' has not been set.) unless inheritall is set to "true" in the nant task.  This seems very counter-intuitive to me, since I basically want to pass a subset of the properties in the parent buildfile into the called buildfile.  Currently, if inheritall="false", I can only use hard-coded properties, which is essentially useless for my purposes.   Am I way off base here?     Regards,   -- Troy     Disclaimer Message: This message contains confidential information and is intended only for the individual(s) named.
