Question

Answer 1

+2 A:

It sounds like a configuration problem. There's discussion here on how to configure NAntContrib.

From method 2:

In order to make certain tasks available to every build file, you can copy the tasks assembly and all its dependencies to the "\bin\tasks" directory.

Ah, my info was outdated :)

I have added \taks\net directorys to my nant\bin directory and copied the contribe dlls into it but it doesn't appear to make a difference. I would rather not have to load the assembly in each build file if I can avoid it.

Hmm. That post may be out of date. (It's from before the release of 0.85). I looked at my system and I have the NAntContrib dlls in C:\nant-05-rc3\bin\ There's also NAnt.Contrib.Tasks.xml in the same directory. Is that what you have?

So why don't You utilize NAnt's `<loadtask>` task. Find the description on how to do this with the link JeffH provided. Works fine for us.

@Chairman - While <loadtask> will work, Nick's comment above: "I would rather not have to load the assembly in each build file" suggests that he would have to modify multiple build files, making <loadtask> a second-best solution.
