Re: <schedule> - <ant> - <property> -value"${lable}" in property value is not expanded

Hi Mark,

Unfortunately there's no way for you to access the ${label} value within 
the Cruise Control's Ant call.  As you have already found out in your 
first email, the value is passes with '-D' in the call to Ant, these are 
not defined until Ant have processed them.

Simply test: build.xml
<project name="test" default="test">
  <target name="test">
    <echo message="label=${label} - build.label=${build.label}"/>
  </target>
</project>

 > ant -Dlabel=testing -Dbuild.label=${label}
> Buildfile: build.xml
>

The only difference is that Cruise Control sets build.label to the 
string "${label}" (since it couldn't expand it to anything) rather than 
the value of ${label} at that time (like how Ant does it).


The only way I can think of for you to get what you want, since you 
can't change the existing build file, is to get Cruise Control to call 
another file, that simply have:
<project name="set-build-label" default="set-build-label">
  <target name="set-build-label">
    <property name="build.label" value="${label}"/>
    <ant antfile="build.xml" target="build"/>
  </target>
</project>

Probable not the best way, but it'll get you want you want.

Nhat Tran.
