Yes, the dependencies to get hit before the test is done. There's a
reason for that:
<target name="foo"
depends "foo-test"
if='foo-test-passes"/>
<target name="foo-test">
<condition property="foo-test-passes"
<some condition>
</condition>
This allows me to run my target "foo", but only if I pass the
"foo-test". Otherwise, there would be no easy way to run a target
based upon a more complex condition than whether a particular property
is set or not.
Your work around is pretty much the way to make sure that you don't
run dependencies if the target is not suppose to be executed.
