Task for resolving relative paths and setting absolute path in property value.

This task was created to address a need for resolving absolute paths of files / directories. In many cases a relative directory (e.g. "./build") is specified, but it needs to be treated as an absolute path since other build files (e.g. in subdirs) should all be using the same path -- and not treating it as a relative path to their own directory.



Resolved [absolute] path: ${absolute_path}

TODO: - Possibly integrate this with PackageAsPath, for handling/resolving dot-path paths.

 Methods

Returns the textual description of the task

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

Returns

stringThe text description of the task

Returns the location within the buildfile this task occurs.

getLocation() : \Location
Inherited

Used by BuildException to give detailed error messages.

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

getRuntimeConfigurableWrapper() : \RuntimeConfigurable
Inherited
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()

Returns

stringThe type of this task (XML Tag)

Called by the parser to let the task initialize properly.

init() 
Inherited

Should throw a BuildException if something goes wrong with the build

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

inherited_from \Task::init()

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

Perform the resolution & set property.

main() 

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.

Configure this task if it hasn't been done already.

maybeConfigure() 
Inherited
inherited_from \Task::maybeConfigure()

Perfrom this task

perform() 
Inherited
inherited_from \Task::perform()

Sets a textual description of the task

setDescription(string $desc) 
Inherited
inherited_from \Task::setDescription()

Parameters

$desc

string

The text describing the task

Sets a base dir to use for resolution.

setDir(\PhingFile $d) 

Parameters

Sets a file that we want to resolve.

setFile(string $f) 

Parameters

$f

string

Set level of log messages generated (default = verbose)

setLevel(string $level) : void

Parameters

$level

string

Log level

Sets the location within the buildfile this task occurs.

setLocation(\Location $location) 
Inherited

Called by the parser to set location information.

inherited_from \Task::setLocation()

Parameters

$location

\Location

The location object describing the position of this task within the buildfile.

Sets the owning target this task belongs to.

setOwningTarget(\Target $target) 
Inherited
inherited_from \Task::setOwningTarget()

Parameters

$target

\Target

Reference to owning target

Sets a path (file or directory) that we want to resolve.

setPath(string $f) 

This is the same as setFile() -- just more generic name so that it's clear that you can also use it to set directory.

see \global\setFile()

Parameters

$f

string

References the project to the current component.

setProject(\Project $project) 
Inherited
inherited_from \ProjectComponent::setProject()
inherited_from \Task::setProject()

Parameters

$project

\Project

The reference to the current project

Set the name of the property to set.

setPropertyName(string $v) : void

Parameters

$v

string

Property name

Sets the wrapper object this task should use for runtime configurable elements.

setRuntimeConfigurableWrapper(\RuntimeConfigurable $wrapper) 
Inherited
inherited_from \Task::setRuntimeConfigurableWrapper()

Parameters

$wrapper

\RuntimeConfigurable

The wrapper object this task should use

Sets the name of this task for log messages

setTaskName(string $name) : string
Inherited
inherited_from \Task::setTaskName()

Parameters

$name

string

Returns

stringA string representing the name of this task for log

Sets the type of the task.

setTaskType(string $name) 
Inherited

Usually this is the name of the XML tag

inherited_from \Task::setTaskType()

Parameters
