inherited_from \Task::getLocation()

Returns

\LocationThe location object describing the position of this task within the buildfile.

Returns the owning target of this task.

getOwningTarget() : \Target
Inherited
inherited_from \Task::getOwningTarget()

Returns

\TargetThe target object that owns this task

Returns a reference to current project

getProject() : \Project
Inherited
inherited_from \ProjectComponent::getProject()
inherited_from \Task::getProject()

Returns

\ProjectReference to current porject object

Returns the wrapper object for runtime configuration

inherited_from \Task::getRuntimeConfigurableWrapper()

Returns

\RuntimeConfigurableThe wrapper object used by this task

Returns the name of task, used only for log messages

getTaskName() : string
Inherited
inherited_from \Task::getTaskName()

Returns

stringName of this task

Returns the name of the task under which it was invoked, usually the XML tagname

getTaskType() : string
Inherited
inherited_from \Task::getTaskType()

stringThe type of this task (XML Tag)

Called by the parser to let the task initialize properly.

init() 

Should throw a BuildException if something goes wrong with the build

This is abstract here, but may not be overloaded by subclasses.

Exceptions

\BuildException

Provides a project level log event to the task.

log(string $msg, integer $level) 
Inherited
see \global\BuildEvent
see \global\BuildListener
inherited_from \Task::log()

Parameters

$msg

string

The message to log

$level

integer

The priority of the message

This method does the work.

main() : void

This method may be called more than once, if the task is invoked more than once. For example, if target1 and target2 both depend on target3, then running phing target1 target2 will run all tasks in target3 twice.

Should throw a BuildException if someting goes wrong with the build

This is abstract here. Must be overloaded by real tasks.
