<h1><call></h1>

|
<p> Calls a NAnt target in the current project. </p>
|
|||
|
|
<p> When the <a href="../tasks/call.html"><call></a> task is used to execute a target, both that target and all its dependent targets will be re-executed. </p>
|
|||
|
|
<p> To avoid dependent targets from being executed more than once, two options are available: </p>
|
|||
|
|
<ul style="list-style-type: disc;">
|
|||
|
|
<li> Add an "unless" attribute with value "${<a href="../functions/target.has-executed.html">target::has-executed</a>('<code><target name></code>')}" to the dependent targets. </li>
|
|||
|
|
<li> Set the <code>cascade</code> attribute on the <a href="../tasks/call.html"><call></a> task to <b>false</b> (<code>recommended</code>). </li>

<p> The <code>cascade</code> parameter of the <a href="../tasks/call.html"><call></a> task defaults to <b>true</b>, causing the "init" target to be executed for both the "debug" and "release" build. </p>
|
|||
|
|
<p> This results in the following build log: </p>
|
|||
|
|
<pre class="code">build:

init:

compile:

BUILD SUCCEEDED
|

</pre>
|

|
|
<p> If the "init" should only be executed once, set the <code>cascade</code> attribute of the <a href="../tasks/call.html"><call></a> task to <b>false</b>. </p>
|

|
|
<p> The build log would then look like this: </p>
