Subject: Problems with property file task
Hey guys, I'm having a bit of an issue with the propertyfile task. I
have a build script that captures a date range worth of changes to a
file then use that file as the message body for an email:
<project name="datetest" default="build" basedir=".">
<target name="build">
<property file="build.properties"/>
<echo message="Grabbing changes between ${datestart} - ${dateend}"/>
<exec dir="." executable="p4.exe" output="mailbody.txt">
<arg line="changes -l
//depot/up-svcs/lty/rel/LTY-R25.0/[EMAIL PROTECTED],@${dateend}"/>
</exec>
<mail mailhost="<somehost>"
subject="Deployment of ${version} complete"
messagefile="mailbody.txt">
<from address="<fromadd>"/ <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]"/> >
<replyto address="<replytoadd>"/
<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]"/> >
<to address="<toadd>"/ <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]"/> >
</mail>
</target>
<!-- datestart=2006/05/06\:23\:00 -->
<propertyfile file="build.properties">
<entry key="datestart" type="date" value="${dateend}"
pattern="yyyy/MM/dd:HH:mm:ss"/>
<entry key="dateend" type="date" value="now"
pattern="yyyy/MM/dd:HH:mm:ss"/>
</propertyfile>
<delete file="mailbody.txt"/>
</project>
What's weird is, if I leave in the propertyfile task, the mailbody.txt
file is blank, if I comment it out, I get exactly what I'm expecting.
What is propertyfile doing and why is mailbody.txt blank?
