phing parameters

Question

for deployment, we use the awesome tool PHING. We'd like to be able to pass a parameter to the "phing" command when deploying, like this:

phing 1.1.1

-> we would like to capture 1.1.1 inside the phing build script to extract a certain SVN TAG from our repository and move that tag to production.

Is that something that's possible?

Answer 1

phing has a PromptTask that ask for information like this.

You can use

phing -Dversion=1.1.1 -Dparam=value
