Can't get output of exec to property

[Patrick Waugh]

Hi,

This is what I'm trying to to:

        <!-- Get Hg Revision -->
    <target name="id" description="Get the current hg revision">
        <exec executable="hg" output="hg.txt" outputproperty="hg">
                <arg value="id" />
                <arg value="-i" />
        </exec>
        <echo message="hg = ${hg}" />
    </target>

The output is coorrect in the text file, same as the command:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/repo/dib/dib_8800$ hg id -i
c75f860db478+

but the "echo" during the build shows this:

id:
     [echo] hg =
[propertyfile] Updating property file:
/home/patrick/repo/dib/dib_8800/build.properties

In other words, the property is never getting set!  What am I missing????

Thanks, patrick
