CCNet 1.6 Conditional Plugin Help Needed!

Question

 Hi all,

I cannot get the conditional plugin to work that has been added to CCNet as of version 1.6 - clicky. I am running the latest version of CCNet (1.6.7258.1) and have the following code in my ccnet.config:

<project name="9iCompile"> 
<sourcecontrol type="svn"> 
  <trunkUrl>http://bis-build:81/svn/Oracle/oas_forms/COPEN&lt;/trunkUrl&gt; 
  <workingDirectory>C:\OAS\COPEN</workingDirectory> 
  <username>*</username> 
  <password>*</password> 
  <executable>C:\Program Files\VisualSVN\bin\svn.exe</executable> 
</sourcecontrol> 


<conditional> 
  <conditions> 
    <compareCondition> 
      <value1>$[ProjectType]</value1> 
      <value2>copen</value2> 
      <evaluation>equal</evaluation> 
      <ignoreCase>true</ignoreCase> 
    </compareCondition> 
  </conditions> 

  <tasks> 
  <nant> 
    <executable>C:\Program Files\nant-0.85\bin\nant.exe</executable> 
    <baseDirectory>C:\OAS</baseDirectory> 
    <buildFile>Oracle9i_Automation_v2.build</buildFile> 
    <targetList> 
      <target>build</target> 
    </targetList> 
  </nant> 
  </tasks> 
</conditional> 


<!-- more conditional statements would be here for different project types if I can get it to work --> 

<parameters> 
  <selectParameter name="ProjectType"> 
    <description>The type of project to operate on.</description> 
    <allowedValues> 
      <value name="COPEN">copen</value> 
      <value name="BCS">bcs</value> 
      <value name="FCDD">fcdd</value> 
    </allowedValues> 
  </selectParameter>
</parameters> 

<security type="defaultProjectSecurity" defaultRight="Deny"> 
  <permissions> 
    <rolePermission name="Developers" ref="Developers"/> 
    <rolePermission name="Accepters" ref="Accepters"/> 
    <rolePermission name="Releasers" ref="Releasers"/> 
    <rolePermission name="Administrators" ref="Administrators"/> 
  </permissions> 
</security> 
</project> 

The CCNet server crashes whenever I try to run this config though with the following output:

[14:ERROR] Exception: Unused node detected:

Can someone please help?? I have no idea what I'm doing wrong here or if this is a bug :( I have also posted on the ccnet-user group several days ago but have not received any response :(

Answer 1

I have received a response from the ccnet-user group now. The conditional block is in fact a task type so needs to be in a tasks or publishers element.
