I pretty much think nant is designed for non-attended use. BOb From: Parrish, Ken [mailto:KParrish@...] Sent: Tuesday, November 03, 2009 9:34 AM To: nant-users@...

	Re: Input prompting ... by Torben Rohde :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message I once did the bat-file-method as Bob suggests, but I also wrapped it in a VB script (not the ultimate best-practice but it worked :-) Here's my code for inspiration if you decide to take that route: .vbs file: dim newline : newline = Chr(13) & Chr(10) dim strApplicationMetaname strApplicationMetaname = "" '--- Main program run --- strApplicationMetaname = GetApplicationMetanameFromUser If strApplicationMetaname = "" Or IsNull(strApplicationMetaname) Then MsgBox "No application name specified - aborting build " + strApplicationMetaname, vbOKOnly + vbExclamation, "No application name specified" Else Call CallBuild(strApplicationMetaname) End If '--- Misc --- Function GetApplicationMetanameFromUser() dim userInput userInput = InputBox("Enter the name of the application instance you wish to build (e.g. MyCompany)" + newline + "(this will determine names of services etc. - e.g. if you enter MyCompany, the merger will be named MergerMyCompany)", "Enter application metaname") GetApplicationMetanameFromUser = userInput End Function Function CallBuild(strApplicationMetanameParm) dim objWSHShell Set objWSHShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") objWSHShell.CurrentDirectory = ".\merger\" Call objWSHShell.Run("build_and_deploy.bat " + strApplicationMetanameParm + " v1_2_3", 1, true) End Function .bat file called by VB script: @ECHO OFF IF "%1" == "" GOTO NoNameSpecified IF "%2" == "" GOTO NoVersionSpecified nant /f:builds/merger_build_and_deploy.nant.build -D:MergerName=%1 -D:MergerVersion=%2 GOTO EndProgram :NoNameSpecified ECHO --------------- ECHO This bat file can not be run directly.

Learn more about Nabble's security policy. Good Afternoon Folks, I was just playing around with this and I was able to do it with a C# script function in a target: <target name="getUserInput"> <script language="C#" prefix="build"> <code><![CDATA[ [Function("getInput")] public static string getInput() { Console.WriteLine("Enter a string: "); string s = Console.ReadLine(); return s.ToString(); } ]]></code> </script> <property name="_str" value="${build::getInput()}" /> <echo message="----> Input String: ${_str}" /> </target> Executing this on my machine produces the following output: *C:\>nant -f:test.build getUserInput* *NAnt 0.86 (Build 0.86.2898.0; beta1; 12/8/2007)* *Copyright (C) 2001-2007 Gerry Shaw* *http://nant.sourceforge.net* *Buildfile: file:///C:/test.build* *Target framework: Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5* *Target(s) specified: getUserInput* *[loadtasks] Scanning assembly "NAnt.Contrib.Tasks" for extensions.* *[loadtasks] Scanning assembly "broloco.NAntTasks" for extensions.* *[script] Scanning assembly "cb5myvqk" for extensions.* *getUserInput:* *[script] Scanning assembly "vohtvvkh" for extensions.* *Enter a string:* *This is a test string!!* *[echo] ----> Input String: This is a test string!!* *BUILD SUCCEEDED* *Total time: 8.4 seconds.* This stores the input into a property and you can do whatever you like with it after that.

	Re: Input prompting ... by Parrish, Ken :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Mike, This looks like it will work just fine. I have a custom Nant extensions project and will add this in that DLL. Thanks, Ken Parrish Gomez, Inc.
