Ok. I've progressed slightly on this. It seems a property set in one target isn't returned to the calling target, however, if I call the targets separately, it works. e.g. "ant update jar", rather than "ant jar" and have jar call update.
Hmm... -----Original Message----- From: Greg Irvine [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 7 April 2006 9:11 AM To: 'Ant Users List' Subject: Property problem in 1.6.5 Hi all. I'm having a problem with property values not existing outside of the target they're created/set in. For example (see below), I have a "jar" target that calls an "update" target. The update calls svn status to populate a property with the current svn version number and then I echo the property. Control then returns to "jar" where I attempt to echo the property again. The property echoes correctly within the "update" target (e.g.) "11134", but displays as "${repository.revision} in the "jar" echo. Any ideas? Please CC me in the response for faster delivery. Thanks and regards, Greg. <target name="jar"> <antcall target="update> <echo>REVISION=${ repository.revision }</echo> </target> <target name="update"> <svn> <status path="." revisionProperty="repository.revision"/> </svn> <echo>REVISION=${ repository.revision }</echo> </target> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
