Ant conditions - which comes first 'if' or 'unless'
Question
If an ant target uses both if and unless, which is evaluated first?
Example
What comes first, the chicken or the egg? . . .
<target name="prepare" if="chicken" unless="egg" >
开发者_JAVA百科<echo>Dinner time. Chicken is served!</echo>
</target>
Would ant evaluate the chicken property first? Or the egg property?
It isn't really a question of evaluation, since the properties either are or are not set before the target gets called.
EDIT: I looked at the 1.8.1 source and the logic is as follows:
if (!testIfAllows()) {
project.log(this, "Skipped because property '" + project.replaceProperties(ifCondition)
+ "' not set.", Project.MSG_VERBOSE);
return;
}
if (!testUnlessAllows()) {
project.log(this, "Skipped because property '"
+ project.replaceProperties(unlessCondition) + "' set.", Project.MSG_VERBOSE);
return;
}
So the unless
won't matter unless the if
passes. But keep in mind, these don't have anything to do with evaluating properties. It just looks them up to see if they are set.
