| How do I get at the project base dir inside a subclass of BaseExtendSelector? | How do I get at the project base dir inside a subclass of BaseExtendSelector? 2003-03-31 - By Tim Gordon
Hi
I'm passing <param name="somedir" value="${some.relative.directory}">
parameter into a custom selector, which is a subclass of BaseExtendSelector.
${some.relative.directory} is defined relative to the project ${basedir}, so
inside my code I'll get a string value for the "somedir" parameter which is
basically useless to me unless I can do
new File(project.getBasedir(), somedir);
However, setProject() never seems to get called on my custom selector, even
though it's a ProjectComponent. Is this a bug in ANT BaseExtendSelector or
AbstractFileSet, not setting the project on the component?
I can acheive the effect I'm after by passing in <param name="somedir"
value="${basedir}/${some.relative.directory}"> - do I have to live with
that? I'd rather pass in paths defined relative to the project basedir,
which is consistent with passing around directories in the rest of ANT.
