problem using task

[Eric Roberts <er...@tacc.utexas.edu>]

Hi 

 

I am having trouble getting the <fail/> task to work correctly for me.
I have the follow block of code:

 

 

<target>

    ...

<condition property="portlet-exists">

            <available file="${portlet.dir}/${app.name}/build.xml"/>

</condition>

 

<fail if="${portlet-exists}" message="The portlet already exists"/>

    ...

</target>

 

 

This code never fails even if the file specified above exists.  I have
tried using the "unless" attribute of <fail/> but that ALWAYS fails.  Am
I misunderstanding something?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You need to do <fail if="portlet-exist" message=" .. "/>

i.e. the name of the property and not the value of the property.
