Equity Assessment in Nantes

In my Nant script, I would like to compare the value of a property with a known string. After reading the Nant Expressions documentation, I figured I could make a basic comparison of "==" to evaluate as logical.

However, given the script block:

<if test="${target.env} == Dev"> <echo message="***** You are using DEV"/> </if>

When I execute, I get the following error:

 'Dev == Dev' is not a valid value for attribute 'test' of <if ... />. Cannot resolve 'Dev == Dev' to boolean value. String was not recognized as a valid Boolean.

It seems like it should be simple (and probably have). How to compare two strings or properties in Nant to evaluate as logical?

It also works if you have the whole expression in braces:

 <if test="${target.env =='Dev'}"> .... </if>

if you want to compare two variables $ {test.var1} and $ {test.var2} then

 <if test="${test.var1 == test.var2}"> .... </if>
