<for > -Build Failed:problem 2004-08-02 - By Inger, Matthew
I have tried this, and i'm not seeing the problem. However, if you use
the .xml file in ant 1.5, you will get the the "taskdef class cannot be
found"
message.
If you use the properties file, everything works fine.
<target name="do.echo">
<echo message="loop.var=${loop.var}" />
</target>
<target name="test.loop">
<antcall target="do.echo" />
</target>
<target name="test">
<foreach list="a,b,c,d" target="test.loop" param="loop.var" />
</target>
I also tried removing the antcall, and putting
depends="do.echo" on the test.loop target, and
everything still worked just fine.
can you send me an project with an isolated instance of the
problem you're having?
Also, please send me the results of running:
ant -version

What i would do is this, inside of the target you're calling
from the <foreach> task, set a property with the value you want
to propogate:
<target name="loop.target">
<property name="visibile.to.targets"
value="${loop.parameter}" />
<antcall ... />
</target>
It may have something to do with the way that antcall works.
I will take a look at it and see if i can reproduce your problem,
but in the meantime, the above solution should work for you.

Ya, checked it and added it. But it sets to true by
default I guess, but still added it but still the same
problem. The value of the property is visible only
inside 1 ant call.
bye,
with regards,
Deepak.
