Hi,
I thought I saw somewhere in the doc or various articles that you could tell NAnt to do a lazy eval of a property, but I can't find this in a doc search this morning.
What I am doing is setting one property to a certain value (e.g. a path), then setting a second property to a value that contains the first property (e.g. extending the path). Later I have a target that modifies the first property. Finally, I use the second property, after the first has been modified, and I'd like the second property to evaluate using the new value of the first property.
After that confusing description I have a simple example:
<property name="config" value="Release"/>
<property name="out.path" value="./project/bin/${config}"/>
<target name="setDebug">
<property name="config" value="Debug"/>
</target>
<target name="test">
<echo message="config = ${config}" />
<echo message="out.path = ${out.path}" />
</target>
when I run 'NAnt.exe test' I get:
test:
[echo] config = Release
[echo] out.path = ./project/bin/Release
when I run 'NAnt.exe setDebug test' I get:
setDebug:
test:
[echo] config = Debug
[echo] out.path = ./project/bin/Release
I'd like for ${out.path} to be evaluated when I use it, rather than when I define it such that it outputs:
[echo] out.path = ./project/bin/Debug
Can I delay a property's evaluation in any fashion?
Thanks,
- Josh
