Thomas,
the included file also requires a top level <project> tag. The error you are seeing is an xml error since your file contains:


<property name="configuration" value="release" overwrite="false" />
<property />
...

ie multiple elements at the top level - forming an invalid xml document.

try somthing like :

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project default="" >
        <property name="configuration" value="release" overwrite="false" />
        <property />
        ...
</project>

I jsut re-checked, and I am unable to find any type of bug.

Basically, when I plug the content of the include file into the main
build file, it does work.

If I move it out into it's own separate file (and include it), I get
errors.

This is the error:

C:\Work\ThonaConsulting\EntityBroker\02.1>nant

Buildfile:
file:///C:/Work/ThonaConsulting/EntityBroker/02.1/default.build
Target framework: Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1
Target(s) specified: build


BUILD FAILED

C:\Work\ThonaConsulting\EntityBroker\02.1\default.build(5,3):
Could not include build file
'N:\.dev\deployed\.buildscripts\default.build'.
   There are multiple root elements. Line 3, position 3.

Total time: 0 seconds.

This is the main build file started:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<project default="build" >

<include buildfile="N:\.dev\deployed\.buildscripts\default.build" />

</project>

And this is the start and end of the included file:

start:


<property name="configuration" value="release" overwrite="false" />

<property name="control.version" value="0.0" overwrite="false" />
<property name="control.release" value="0" overwrite="false" />
<property name="control.build" value="0" overwrite="false" />
<property name="control.smallversion" value="0.0.0" overwrite="false"
/>

end:

<!--
 This target is publishing the build. Publication is the act of making
the build available externally. Publication is performed through the
 "publish.build" script of the product.
-->
<target name="publish" depends="deploy">
 <if test="${file::exists(nant.project.basedir+'\publish.build')}">
  <echo message="External build file found, executing" />
  <nant buildfile="${nant.project.basedir+'\publish.build'}" />
 </if>
</target>

(naturally the start and end parts are not working on their own).

The interesting thing is that if I basically copy/paste the include file
into the main build file, replacing the <include element, then suddenly
all things are working.

Looks like it might be a bug in your included build file.
This is exactly what I do, except I have the project's build
files setting a lot of properties, and the master build file makes all
its decisions based on those properties. I'm not sure how overriding targets would even work.
Thanks,
Ryan

Subject: [Nant-users] <include element - help...
Hello, I am trying to get into orgainizing my nant files more. I have a central nant file that all our projects should share. Is it viable to use an empty shell file (possibly with
do-nothing targets that the projects fill out) and have it include the
core targets?
How is the syntax? I just took the whole XML content to the external file, and did
remove project tag. The new build file tries to include this: <?xml version="1.0"?> <project default="build" > <include
buildfile="n:\.dev\deployed\.buildscripts\default.build" /> </project> Sadly I get an exception?
