Skip input task if property already set





------- Additional Comments From andy.wood@ditg.tv  2003-10-13 20:51 -------
Hi Steve

<project name="input" default="test">

	<target name="test">
		<property name="foo" value="bar"/>
		<input message="enter value for foo:" addproperty="foo"/>
		<echo>${foo}</echo>
	</target>
	
</project>

Gives output of:

Buildfile: ../../test.xml

test:
    [input] skipping input as property foo has already been set.
    [input] enter value for foo:
fred
     [echo] bar

BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 3 seconds

That's running with a vanilla binary download of ant 1.6beta1.

If you look at Input.java's execute method:

    public void execute () throws BuildException {
        if (addproperty != null
            && getProject().getProperty(addproperty) != null) {
            log("skipping " + getTaskName() + " as property " + addproperty
                + " has already been set.");
        }

        InputRequest request = null;
        :
        :
    }

There appears to be no other action than logging being taken.
