Interesting. I wonder if passing in a property value from the command
line makes the property ready only. At least that is what appears to be
happening.
So, what do you want to happen here?
If you want it to use the passed in value rather than the value in the
script file? Use:
<property name="TestProperty" value="foo" overwrite="false" />

Subject: [NAnt-users] Command line properties - Can you explain this
message?
I am setting a property from the command line. It seems to work, but I
get a message indicating that I cannot overwrite the property, yet the
property does in fact get set. Can anyone help explain this?

Nant Script:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="TestBuild" default="default" basedir=".">
<property name="TestProperty" value="foo" readonly="false" />
<target name="*">
<echo message="TestProperty = ${TestProperty}" />
</target>
</project>

Command Line:
nant -D:TestProperty=bar
