Fail task's if and unless do not seem to work like other tasks

Hi

I'm using ant 1.5 beta 2 with 1.3.1 on Linux and Win2000

Here is the build snipit

<target name="available" depends="tdefs, properties">
    <condition property="PCSC">
        <available classname="com.cryptocard.jpcsc.Card">
     	    <classpath location="${classes}"/>
	</available>
     </condition>
     <fail 
	message="com.cryptocard.jpcsc.PCSC must be compiled first"
	unless="${PCSC}"
     />
</target>

This is the debug output

available:
Finding class com.cryptocard.jpcsc.Card
Class java.lang.Object loaded from parent loader
Class com.cryptocard.jpcsc.Card loaded from ant loader
Class java.lang.Throwable loaded from parent loader
Class java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException loaded from parent loader
Finding class com.cryptocard.jpcsc.PCSCException
Class java.lang.RuntimeException loaded from parent loader
Class com.cryptocard.jpcsc.PCSCException loaded from ant loader
Class java.lang.NullPointerException loaded from parent loader
Condition true; setting PCSC to true
Setting project property: PCSC -> true

BUILD FAILED
/home/jesse/source/6.0/src/cpp/utilities/jpcsc/build.xml:81:
com.cryptocard.jpcsc.PCSC must be compiled first


The property is set but the Fail task is being run.

I also tried Stephan's Gump build from today with the same results.

Ideas?

Thanks Diane

As usual you were right (and quick too).

Whenever the name of a property is being asked for, not the value, just
use the name itself, without enclosing it in "${}". (In other words, your
<fail> was running because you don't have a property named (literally)
${PCSC} set -- you have a property named PCSC set.
