public class LoadTasksTask : Task, IConditional

Examples

Load tasks from a single assembly.

<loadtasks assembly="c:foo\NAnt.Contrib.Tasks.dll" />

Scan a single directory for task assemblies.

<loadtasks path="c:\foo" />

Use a NAnt.Core.Tasks.LoadTasksTask.TaskFileSet containing both a directory and an assembly.

     <loadtasks>
    <fileset>
        <include name="C:\cvs\NAntContrib\build" />
        <include name="C:\cvs\NAntContrib\build\NAnt.Contrib.Tasks.dll" />
    </fileset>
</loadtasks>

Attributes

Properties

Name	Value	Summary
AssemblyPath	FileInfo	An assembly to load tasks from.
CustomXmlProcessing	bool	Gets a value indicating whether the element is performing additional processing using the `NAnt.Core.Element.XmlNode` that was used to initialize the element. Inherited from Element
FailOnError	bool	Determines if task failure stops the build, or is just reported. The default is `true`. Inherited from Task
IfDefined	bool	If `true` then the task will be executed; otherwise, skipped. The default is `true`. Inherited from Task
Location	Location	Gets or sets the location in the build file where the element is defined. Inherited from Element
LogPrefix	string	The prefix used when sending messages to the log. Inherited from Task
Name	string	The name of the task. Inherited from Task
NamespaceManager	XmlNamespaceManager	Gets or sets the `System.Xml.XmlNamespaceManager`. Inherited from Element
Parent	Object	Gets or sets the parent of the element. Inherited from Element
Path	DirectoryInfo	A directory to scan for task assemblies.
Project	Project	Gets or sets the `NAnt.Core.Element.Project` to which this element belongs. Inherited from Element
Properties	PropertyDictionary	Gets the properties local to this `NAnt.Core.Element` and the `NAnt.Core.Element.Project`. Inherited from Element
TaskFileSet	FileSet	Used to select which directories or individual assemblies to scan.
Threshold	Level	Gets or sets the log threshold for this `NAnt.Core.Task`. By default the threshold of a task is `NAnt.Core.Level.Debug`, causing no messages to be filtered in the task itself. Inherited from Task
UnlessDefined	bool	Opposite of `NAnt.Core.Task.IfDefined`. If `false` then the task will be executed; otherwise, skipped. The default is `false`. Inherited from Task
Verbose	bool	Determines whether the task should report detailed build log messages. The default is `false`. Inherited from Task
XmlNode	XmlNode	Gets or sets the XML node of the element. Inherited from Element
