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

[Martin Gainty]

Troy How would your nant project Inherit a subset of properties from parent project? Are you proposing access modifiers for properties of the parent? Right now you get all (inheritall="true") or nothing (inheritall="false") with the exception of user properties passed in here is the relevant text from ANT Alternatively, you can set the inheritAll attribute to false and only "user" properties (i.e., those passed on the command-line) will be passed to the new project. In either case, the set of properties passed to the new project will override the properties that are set in the new project Please explain the property inheritance that you are speaking of -Martin ----- Original Message ----- From: Troy Laurin To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 15, 2004 10:24 PM 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.
