Re: [NAnt-users] parsing version string
Thank you.
That was my main problem, which allowed me to find other problems.
The function call is get-major (as opposed to get_major, which I
originally had). Also, the parameter to these functions needs to be a
System.Version object and not a string.
So the syntax to get just the major portion of the version string
property looks like:
property name=partNumberMajorInt
value=${version::get-major(version::parse(version))} /
echomajor is ${partNumberMajorInt}/echo

is using wrong syntax.. that's why you are not getting the function
substitution you are expecting
should be like value=${version::get_major(version)}
since it's inside the ${ } already, it will lookup unquoted text as
variables
or functions. If you wanted to use a string in there, use a quoted
string
inside the ()

Subject: [NAnt-users] parsing version string
Hi,
I'm trying to parse my version property to get the individual elements
(major, minor, iteration, ...). My end goal is to take the information
in the version in a format of 1.2.3.4 and turn it into a string that
looks like 010203 (takes each of the major, minor, iteration and
pad-lefts to a length of 2 with the zero char).
I have a property called ${version} in the format of 1.2.3.4. I've been
trying to use the version::get_major() function, but I must be using it
wrong as I can't seem to extract the major number from the version. I'm
trying to create another property:
property name=partNumberMajor
value=version::get_major(${version}) /
echomajor is ${partNumberMajor}/echo
And all I get back is [echo] major is
version::get_major(1.0.1.34}
Then I found the version::parse() function and thought maybe I should be
using that to parse create a Version to pass to get_major(). That did
not seem to work either, even if I hard coded a string for my version:
echomajor version is
version::get_major(version::parse(1.2.3.4))/echo
Am I using these functions incorrectly?
Thanks,
Beth

Re: [NAnt-users] msi task - 'cabarc' failed to start
I have been able to resolve this issue by downloading the NAnt and NAntContrib nightly builds from 1/30/09. (and also by downloading the Cabinet SDK, which I originally did not have). Thanks to Gert for his help. Beth [NAnt-users] msi task - 'cabarc' failed to start Beth Hechanova Wed, 28 Jan 2009 10:28:35 -0800 Hi, I saw a thread with the same subject approx a year ago in the mail archive, but I did not see any resolution. I am having the same exact problem. At the end of this email is the output from running the msi task from my nant script. I have not done anything with setting a path (either env variable or within the nant script itself). At this time, my msi task is very simple - I only have sourcedir defined as the directory that contains the files to put into the installer, and output defined to be the name of the msi installer. My application is a VS2008 solution built on .net 3.5 framework. Did the person with this same problem ever get it figured out? Are people able to successfully use the msi task with nant? If so, did you have to do some special configuration to get it to work?
