Title: Problem using <foreach> on a <fileset> defined by an <includesfile>

I have the following targets:

   

    <target name="SetReferencesToFile">

                <echo message="Using References File: ${References}" />

                <fileset id="ReferencesFileset">

                        <includesfile name="${References}" />

                </fileset>

                <foreach item="File" property="Filename">

                        <in>

                                <items refid="ReferencesFileset" />

                        </in>

                        <do>

                                <echo level="Verbose" message="Referencing ... ${Filename}" />

                        </do>

                </foreach>

    </target>

   

    <target name="SetReferencesToList">

                <fileset id="ReferencesFileset">

                        <include name="${Framework}\System.dll" />

                        <include name="${Framework}\System.Data.dll" />

                        <include name="${Framework}\System.XML.dll" />

                </fileset>

                <foreach item="File" property="Filename">

                        <in>

                                <items refid="ReferencesFileset" />

                        </in>

                        <do>

                                <echo level="Verbose" message="Referencing ... ${Filename}" />

                        </do>

                </foreach>   

        </target>

If SetReferencesToList is called, I get the appropriate output from the foreach loop, but if the SetReferencesToFile target is called, I do not get the echo from the foreach loop.  The file defined in References must exist or the SetReferencesToList target is used, so I know that the problem isn't whether or not the file exists.  There must be a bug in how the fileset gets enumerated when using the <includesfile> type.

I have also discovered I cannot set a fileset within an <if> task, I get an invalid task error on the <fileset> node, thus the reason I'm using separate targets.

I'm using nightly build from 2004-11-10-0.85.
