Steve, You can just set the cascade attribute to false.
<call target="..." cascade="false" /> Hope this helps, Gert -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Kapinos Sent: woensdag 3 september 2008 14:57 To: nant-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [NAnt-users] dependancy persistance or resetting? Found my own answer... http://nant.sourceforge.net/release/0.85-rc1/help/fundamentals/targets.h tml " A target gets executed only once, even when more than one target depends on it (see the previous example). However, when the <call> task is used to execute a target, both the target and all its dependent targets will be re-executed." Since I'm trying to use targets as basically functions... I'm stuck in this way due to call. Any better ideas on how to structure this where I have a reusable block of code that I want to run again with simply different inputs? -Steve -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Kapinos Sent: Wednesday, September 03, 2008 8:53 AM To: nant-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [NAnt-users] dependancy persistance or resetting? I have a build file setup where one main body, calls several other targets acting like functions. It was setup this way because the sequence of the events was critical, and the job was specified it had to run in a single pass. So my main target looks like this <target name="all" depends="" description="runs full test suite"> <!-- Run average test --> <call target="cleandatabase"/> <property name="testtype" value="average"/> <call target="jmetertest-average"/> <!-- Call process-traces to parse logdir output and tag with testtype --> <call target="process-traces"/> <!-- Run peak test --> <call target="cleandatabase"/> <property name="testtype" value="peak"/> <call target="jmetertest-peak"/> <!-- Call process-traces to parse logdir output and tag with testtype --> <call target="process-traces"/> <!-- Create trending graphs as both runs are now in accumulated.data.dir --> <call target="create-trend-graphs"/> </target> Note the call target to 'process-traces' is called twice and at the end, 'create-trend-graphs' is called. My question comes from the dependencies set on those targets. 'process-traces' is defined as <target name="process-traces" depends="check-trends-dir,build-processing-tool,get-svn-revision" description="Processing of trace from test run"> This runs fine.. but when 'process-traces' is ran the second time for the peak part of the test, the dependant targets are all ran again. The fact they were ran the first time 'process-traces' was called, seems to be forgotten. I have the same problem with create-trend-graphs, which has a dependency set for process-traces (for manual runs outside of the larger test target). Even tho process-traces was called twice, when the last <call target="create-trend-graphs"/> was ran, 'process-traces' would be run again. Does dependency tracking not persist across an entire run of nant? Does using call target change its behavior? I've solved the problem for now simply by removing dependancies where they were causing problems if they ran twice, and ignoring those that are harmless, but it makes the individual targets less robust. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ NAnt-users mailing list NAnt-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nant-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ NAnt-users mailing list NAnt-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nant-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ NAnt-users mailing list NAnt-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nant-users
