Re: [NAnt-users] Input prompting ...
Mike,
This looks like it will work just fine. I have a custom Nant extensions
project and will add this in that DLL.
Thanks,

Good Afternoon Folks,
I was just playing around with this and I was able to do it with a C# script
function in a target:
<code><![CDATA[
[Function("getInput")]
public static string getInput()
{
Console.WriteLine("Enter a string: ");
string s = Console.ReadLine();
return s.ToString();
}
]]></code>
Executing this on my machine produces the following output:
C:\>nant -f:test.build getUserInput

Copyright (C) 2001-2007 Gerry Shaw

Buildfile: file:///C:/test.build
Target framework: Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5
Target(s) specified: getUserInput

[loadtasks] Scanning assembly "broloco.NAntTasks" for extensions.
[script] Scanning assembly "cb5myvqk" for extensions.
getUserInput:

Enter a string:
This is a test string!!
[echo] > Input String: This is a test string!!
BUILD SUCCEEDED
Total time: 8.4 seconds.
This stores the input into a property and you can do whatever you like with it
after that.
I hope this helps,
Mike

Nant Users,
Is there a task that can be used to prompt a user for input of a property? I'd
like to design some tasks which will prompt the user for input of a property if
the property was not specified on the command line. I looked in both Nant and
NantContrib and didn't see anything. Am I missing something?

Re: [NAnt-users] Input prompting ...
I once did the bat-file-method as Bob suggests, but I also wrapped it in a
VB script (not the ultimate best-practice but it worked :-)
Here's my code for inspiration if you decide to take that route:
.vbs file:
dim newline : newline = Chr(13) & Chr(10)
dim strApplicationMetaname
strApplicationMetaname = ""
'--- Main program run ---
strApplicationMetaname = GetApplicationMetanameFromUser
If strApplicationMetaname = "" Or IsNull(strApplicationMetaname) Then
MsgBox "No application name specified - aborting build " +
strApplicationMetaname, vbOKOnly + vbExclamation, "No application name
specified"
Else
Call CallBuild(strApplicationMetaname)
End If
'--- Misc ---
Function GetApplicationMetanameFromUser()
dim userInput
userInput = InputBox("Enter the name of the application
instance you wish to build (e.g. MyCompany)" + newline + "(this will
determine names of services etc. - e.g. if you enter MyCompany, the
merger will be named MergerMyCompany)", "Enter application metaname")
GetApplicationMetanameFromUser = userInput
End Function
Function CallBuild(strApplicationMetanameParm)
dim objWSHShell
Set objWSHShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
objWSHShell.CurrentDirectory = ".\merger\"
Call objWSHShell.Run("build_and_deploy.bat " +
strApplicationMetanameParm + " v1_2_3", 1, true)
End Function
.bat file called by VB script:
@ECHO OFF
IF "%1" == "" GOTO NoNameSpecified
IF "%2" == "" GOTO NoVersionSpecified
nant /f:builds/merger_build_and_deploy.nant.build -D:MergerName=%1
-D:MergerVersion=%2
GOTO EndProgram
:NoNameSpecified
ECHO ---
ECHO This bat file can not be run directly. (name not set)
ECHO Use the corresponding VBScript "merger_build_and_deploy.vbs"
instead
ECHO ---
GOTO EndProgram
:NoVersionSpecified
ECHO ---
ECHO This bat file can not be run directly. (version not set)
ECHO Use the corresponding VBScript "merger_build_and_deploy.vbs"
instead
ECHO ---
GOTO EndProgram
:NoNameSpecified
:EndProgram
pause

Re: [NAnt-users] Input prompting
...
The only thing I could think would be to exec a bat file that prompts for a
value and writes it to a text file or something. I pretty much think nant
is designed for non-attended use.
