Nant - check if remote access already exists

Question

We use Nant to deploy the application and must ensure that the share is created during the process.

We use psexecit net shareto create a shared resource, but it fails and stops Nant if this resource already exists.

Is there a way to detect that share already exists?

Either before trying to create a shared resource, or with the ability to detect a return code 2or message The name has already been sharedfrom psexec?

I tried directory::exists, but it always returns false.

I tried to copy the file to a remote directory and file::exists, but that always returns false.

Answer 1

It seems that I am doing something wrong with my variables and paths:

<echo message="exists!" if="${directory::exists('\\${server}\share')}"/>

does not work however:

<property name="test" value="\\${server}\share" />
<echo message="exists!" if="${directory::exists(test)}"/>

works great!
