Update - Nested Builds

[Jorge]

I've added support for running build scripts that call other psake
build scripts.

Please get the latest version and let me know what you all think or if
you can break it - please let me know!

Example:
======================== nested.ps1 ===============================
Properties {
$x = 1
}

Task default -Depends RunNested1, RunNested2, CheckX

Task RunNested1 {
Invoke-psake .\nested\nested1.ps1
}

Task RunNested2 {
Invoke-psake .\nested\nested2.ps1
}

Task CheckX{
Assert ($x -eq 1) '$x was not 1'
}
======================== nested.ps1 ===============================

======================== nested1.ps1 ===============================
Properties {
$x = 100
}

Task default -Depends Nested1CheckX

Task Nested1CheckX{
Assert ($x -eq 100) '$x was not 100'
}
======================== nested1.ps1 ===============================

======================== nested2.ps1 ===============================
Properties {
$x = 200
}

Task default -Depends Nested2CheckX

Task Nested2CheckX{
Assert ($x -eq 200) '$x was not 200'
}
======================== nested2.ps1 ===============================

Here is the call to the main psake build script:

Invoke-psake .\examples\nested.ps1

======================== output ===============================

Hi Jorge

I've only just got a chance to try this out and my first tests worked!
I'll go and try this on my full build system at home (which will be
later today). I'm guessing that will be a bit more of a full on test
given that I've got about 6 different nested build scripts running :)

Out of curiosity (I haven't looked at the source yet) have you done
anything special with include files?

Thanks heaps for adding this!

Regards

Patrick

Patrick,

 

You're welcome!

 

I haven't done anything in particular with include files, but the way psake handles include files is similar to how it handles properties, and since properties don't appear to step over themselves when they are repeated in nested build scripts, I submit that include files will behave in the same manner, but I didn't explicitly test that. I'll see about adding a test in the examples\ folder for nested builds that use include files. 

 

Please let me know how your testing goes, and if you find any issues.
