Phing: building a list of sub directories

[448191]

I'm hoping someone with more experience with Phing than I have is going to tell that this is available functionality in Phing

 

I sure can't find it in the docs though.

 

What I want to do is this (note the comment):

 

<if>
<or>
	<available file="${project.root}/trunk" type="dir"/>
	<available file="${project.root}/tags" type="dir" />
	<available file="${project.root}/branches" type="dir"/>
</or>
<then>
	<input propertyname="svnChoice" validargs="trunk,tags,branches" message="Which would you like to use?"/>

	<if>
		<not><equals arg1="${svnChoice}" arg2="trunk" /></not>
		<then>
			<echo msg="Scanning for for available tags/branches"/>

			<!-- Somehow build a flat list of subdirs in ${project.root}/${svnChoice} 
				and bind it to property ${subDirs} -->

			<input propertyname="build.sourcedir" validargs="${subDirs}" message="Please make a choice from available ${svnChoice}:"/>
		</then>
	</if>				
</then>
</if>

I wonder if you could write your own extension.

 

A quick look at the documentation lead me here: http://phing.info/docs/guide/current/chapters/ExtendingPhing.html#WritingTasks

 

Very interesting software.
