Yes, it does. We use it here for the same reason as Michael was looking
for. There are several nested elements comes with the <nant> task that
I thought were quite useful. You can check NAnt docs for more details
on this topic, but here's one of the examples --
<nant buildfile="${src.dir}/Extras/BuildServer/BuildServer.build">
<properties>
<property name="build.dir" value="c:/buildserver" />
<property name="build.debug" value="false" />
<property name="lib.dir" value="c:/shared/lib" readonly="true"
/>
</properties>
</nant>
Hope this help.
Daniel

Does that work?
It is elegant and not a hack
Thanks

Re: [NAnt-users] Does NAnt have a "while" capability?
Michael,
My following suggestions may sound like a quick, ugly *hack*, so please
take it with a grain of salt.
If project B has to wait for project A to complete, can you place a call
at the end of the project A to call project B once it's completed its
run?
Example:
<project name="ProjectA" default="build" basedir="."
xmlns="http://nant.sf.net/schemas/nant-0.85.win32.net-1.0.xsd";>
<target name="build" description="builds the application" >
........
<nant buildfile="${projectB.buildfile}"/>
/target>
</project>
Daniel

Subject: [NAnt-users] Does NAnt have a "while" capability?
I need a NAnt project to do some work and then wait for some event to
occur, such as a specific file in a specific directory to appear. To do
this I will need some sort of "while (file-exists != "true")"
capability. This means I would need 2 capabilities; a "sleep" taks
(which is present) and a looping construct. Are there *any* looping
constructs in NAnt?
Let me explain what I am trying to do. I have a CruiseControl.NET
project which does a <forceBuild> on three other CCNet projects that run
in parallel. I need something on the back end which waits until all 3
worker projects have completed and then continues on with more build
steps. I'm not concerned with contention here; the projects literally
running in parallel are not a performance issue. So I have:
Startup project -> does a <forceBuild> on 3 worker projects -> BackEnd
project waits on all 3 worker projects to complete and does more work.
I had been looking into having the BackEnd project use CCNet for the
sync, but due to limitations there I cannot do this (the worker projects
may finish hours apart). So I changed the above scheme to be:
Startup project -> does a <forceBuild> on 3 worker projects. 1 of the
worker projects ends by doing a <forceBuild> on the BackEnd project ->
BackEnd project runs a NAnt task which waits for the other 2 worker
projects to complete and then does more work.
I am attempting to write a NAnt project which does a type of multiple
project synchronization. It seems like I have seen in this list some
references on how to do this, but a quick search of the archives found
nothing. Any help would be appreciated.
