I noticed that when I run targets in a <foreach> loop, that they don't
know of properties that were set in previous targets or in targets
which
are dependencies of the given target. As an example:
<foreach target="getcssfiles" param="localedir">
<path>
<dirset dir="${project.dir}/santiago/locale" includes="*/**"
excludes="*Apple*"></dirset>
</path>
</foreach>
in target with name of getcssfiles, I don't know what my build number
is. However, if I add a param to the <foreach> loop, then I can pass
through
whatever properties I want, and they are available to the target in
the <foreach> loop.
e.g. this works:
<foreach target="getcssfiles" param="localedir">
<param name="build.num" value="${build.num}" />
<path>
<dirset dir="${project.dir}/santiago/locale" includes="*/**"
excludes="*Apple*"></dirset>
</path>
</foreach>
Is not inheriting properties in a <foreach> loop by design? It feels
like a bug to me, but I didn't want to log it as a bug until I was
sure that it really
was one.
Thanks,
