It's not possible to disable targets via project.local.yml

[bkosborne]

In build.xml, support for disabling specific targets is added like so:

  <!-- Disable targets defined in the disable-targets array in project.yml. -->
  <!-- This must be executed after all targets are defined. -->
  <disabletargets file="${blt.config-files.project}" property="disable-targets"/>

The problem is that it's only considering the main project yml file, and not the project.local.yml file.

Could this be solved by modifying the DisableTargetsTask to just accept the list of targets, instead of a file that lists them? Then you could do something like this:

<if>
  <isset property="disable-targets"/>
  <then>
    <disabletargets targets="${disable-targets}">
  </then>
</if>

I was working on a PR for this but I'm getting stuck.

When using this <disabletargets targets="${disable-targets}"> in build.xml, the value that gets sent to the target class is literally the string "${disable-targets}" instead of the array of data from the project.yml file.

What do I need to do here to get it to pass the actual value?

Would it work to just add a second line to load from project.local.yml?

  <!-- Disable targets defined in the disable-targets array in project.yml. -->
  <!-- This must be executed after all targets are defined. -->
  <disabletargets file="${blt.config-files.project}" property="disable-targets"/>
  <disabletargets file="${blt.config-files.local}" property="disable-targets"/>

Yup, confirmed that works.
