Subject: [NAnt-users] Problems with .ico files referenced in a .resx

I could not figure out from the documentation how the heck am I supposed to
let the nant know where the external .ico files are located when compiling a
.resx file... I have a .resx file containing the following definition:

<data name="DataGridTextAreaButton" type="System.Resources.ResXFileRef,
System.Windows.Forms">
<value>DataGridTextAreaButton.ico;System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing,
Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d
50a3a</value>

This is supposed to load the specified .ico file into the resulting
.resources, but nant keeps failing with an error "[resgen] Inner exception:
Could not find file "/tmp/tmp5639f2ee.tmp/DataGridTextAreaButton.ico". Line
123, position 5.". My <resources> definition is:

<resources dynamicprefix="true" prefix="some prefix" basedir="some base
dir">
<include name="**.resx" />
</resources>

Nant finds the .resx files and copies them to a temp directory but not the
.ico files.

Re: Why NAnt over VS Studio builds?

2008-09-06T20:32:02Z

For me, it's the ability to have cross-platform development with a
common build framework.

You can get the same with VS Studio and makefiles or batch files, but
I prefer the simplicity of NAnt build scripts.

You can still have VS Studio call into NAnt if you want to keep the
workflow you have.

Hi,
I am using svn 1.4.2 setup.
file::exists() function is not working properly.
It always returns false irrespective of existence of file.
Can someone pls verify it??

It appear you are using file::exists() incorrectly. You have

<if test="${file::exists('${filepath}')}">

where it should be

<if test="${file::exists(filepath)}">

Since filepath is a property and is already inside a ${}, just use the
name directly without quotes.

There's no buglet here (except for perhaps a lack of documentation).

In functions, properties should not be enclosed in '${...}' if you want to
use their expanded value.

Use this:

<if test="${file::exists(filepath)}">
...
</if>

instead of:

<if test="${file::exists('${filepath}')}">
...
</if>

I'm using file::exists alot in my production scripts and never had a
problem with it. We are using svn 1.4.3 btw - but don't think it could
somehow influence the file:exists function.

Hi,
Thanx for reply.
Here is code I am using:

<target name="build">
<property name="filepath" value="c:\mallow.exe"/>
<echo message="${filepath}"/>
<if test="${file::exists('${filepath}')}">
<echo message="File Exists"/>
</if>
<if test="${not file::exists('${filepath}')}">
<echo message="File does not Exist"/>
</if>
</target>

In any case it prints, "File does not Exist".
Version of NAnt.Core.dll present is 0.85.2478.0
I am not able to figure out what is wrong.

Thanx,
Tushar

Have you tried using the fully qualified path in the program attribute's

value, rather than relying on the path? I've generally found that
easier than attempting to rely on the path or to make sure it's correct.

Silly, I know, but there it is.

Re: Directory different task or tool ...

2008-09-04T14:09:19Z

If you are using CC.net the modification writer task will create an XML file with this info. You can then read the xml file in with nant if you want.

Have you tried Beyond Compare… not free but an awesome tool. A fairly comparable one is WinMerge. It is open source but I’m not sure if it has a command line interface.

Subject: [NAnt-users] Directory different task or tool ...

Does anyone know if there is a directory differencing task available for Nant? I have tried several external directory difference tools, but so far, none have the level of control that a typical Nant command has such as file and directory exclusions/inclusions.

I need such a tool to compute change lists and logs for deployment runtime images. Sometimes, I can generate such a list using the facilities in my source code control tools. However, there are some occasions when that option is not available and I need a more general purpose mechanism.

The output that I am hoping to generate would be a list of full file paths with each file or directory marked with ‘added’, ‘deleted’, ‘modified’ or ‘same’. I tried a tool called CSDiff.exe, but it has no facilities for specifying directories to exclude. This is a huge problem when navigating Subversion working directories with all of it’s .svn control directories.

Subject: Re: [NAnt-users] how to publish or output to a directory with msbuildtask

ok. So, by default Output path is set to bin\ folder and the solution is doing the build on say "Release" configuration. By setting output path to some folder other then say bin\, will it copy all .aspx etc.. for web application.

[Bob Archer] No, it will only copy the binaries (DLLs) to that folder. You would still need to copy the .aspx files yourself.

Basically I am looking for what publishing a site does from MSBUILD. I want to then take all that content and zip it up so that I can do a OnceClick deployment.

[Bob Archer] If you can do it from the command line in MSBUILD than you should be able to do it with nant calling msbuild. I have never used MSBUILD to do this though. See below on zipping it.

Also, what does web deployment project will give me and the benefits of using it with Web Application type of projects(not web site).

[Bob Archer] It will copy the .aspx files to a deployment location. It also lets you edit the web.config if say for example you want to change from a dev connection string to a staging/test connection string. See this blog post http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2005/11/06/429723.aspx . I have to admit I have never done this, I just use a nant task to copy the .aspx files to the deployment directory.

I can use xcopy but I want to avoid having to worry about excluding .cs file and the others that I dont want on my web server.

[Bob Archer] Probably easier to just include the files you do want. Here is the fileset I use though… (notice I exclude web.config because we deal with that another way.)

</fileset>

</copy>

You could even use this file set right in a ZIP task so you don’t need to copy somewhere and then zip after a copy.

Hope this helps,

BOb

property name="Platform" value="Any CPU" />

What I would like to do is create an output directory under each project and let MSBUILD task also publish or output it ot that directory. Then later on I can package that directory via zip and deploy it to various servers. It would be nice if it could have built in ${ProjectDir}\output or something like that.

Any help would be appricated. Thanks.

by the way I tried following inside msbuild and it seems to publish console projects etc.. but not Web Application type of project. It gives me some error about non publishable project or something.

Re: how to publish or output to a directory withmsbuildtask

2008-09-04T12:47:51Z

Have you created a Web Deployment Project for your web site? The most effective method for deploying web site project via Nant is to first create a web deployment project, set the output path in that project file. Then after you have built your project, you can use all the other Nant tasks to operate on that output.

We use this technique regularly for automated deployment of built and integrated web sites for testing and production deployment.
