nant logs with data and time stamp

Question

how to run nant script in command line and get the timings of each task on the log file.

using nant task or NAnt -buildfile:testscript.build testnanttarget

this produces console output but i cant see any timing information.

all i wanted is on each log message if nant prefixes datatime that will help me a lot.

i know nant uses log4net if i change the patternlayout in nant.exe.config it is still not working.

You can use the tstamp task to display the current date/time. Just include it everywhere where you want timing information. It will not prefix each line with a timestamp, but at least you can time some strategic points.

<tstamp />
