GacTaskBase

[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]

Base class functionality for the GAC tasks.

Concrete GAC tasks extend this class in order to obtain common functionality.

Parameters

AttributeTypeDescriptionRequired
forcebool Gets or sets a value indicating whether the GAC operation will be forced. False
failonerrorbool Determines if task failure stops the build, or is just reported. The default is true. False
ifbool If true then the task will be executed; otherwise, skipped. The default is true. False
timeoutint The maximum amount of time the application is allowed to execute, expressed in milliseconds. Defaults to no time-out. False
unlessbool Opposite of if. If false then the task will be executed; otherwise, skipped. The default is false. False
verbosebool Determines whether the task should report detailed build log messages. The default is false. False

Framework-configurable parameters

AttributeTypeDescriptionRequired
useruntimeengineboolDeprecated. Specifies whether the external program is a managed application which should be executed using a runtime engine, if configured. The default is false. False

Nested Elements:

<reference>

Specifies reference details to use when working with the GAC.

Used to specify reference information when working with the GAC.

The full details of GAC references can be found in the SDK documentation.

Parameters

AttributeTypeDescriptionRequired
ifbool If true then the entity will be included. The default is true. False
scheme-descriptionstring The scheme description to use when working with GAC references. This is only relevant if a scheme type other than None is specified. False
scheme-idstring The scheme ID to use when working with GAC references. This is only relevant if a scheme type other than None is specified. False
scheme-typeSchemeType The scheme type to use when working with GAC references. The default is None, which means that references will not be used by the GAC task. False
unlessbool Opposite of if. If false then the entity will be included. The default is false. False

</reference>

<arg>

The command-line arguments for the external program.

Represents a command-line argument.

When passed to an external application, the argument will be quoted when appropriate. This does not apply to the line parameter, which is always passed as is.

Parameters

AttributeTypeDescriptionRequired
dirdirectory The value for a directory-based command-line argument; will be replaced with the absolute path of the directory. False
filefile The name of a file as a single command-line argument; will be replaced with the absolute filename of the file. False
ifbool Indicates if the argument should be passed to the external program. If true then the argument will be passed; otherwise, skipped. The default is true. False
linestring List of command-line arguments; will be passed to the executable as is. False
path<path> The value for a PATH-like command-line argument; you can use : or ; as path separators and NAnt will convert it to the platform's local conventions, while resolving references to environment variables. False
unlessbool Indicates if the argument should not be passed to the external program. If false then the argument will be passed; otherwise, skipped. The default is false. False
valuestring A single command-line argument; can contain space characters. False

Nested Elements:

<path>

Sets a single command-line argument and treats it like a PATH - ensures the right separator for the local platform is used.
