cruisecontrol config.xml special characters svnbootstrapper

Question

I have a line like :

  <svnbootstrapper LocalWorkingCopy="${projects.dir}/${project.name}" Password="4udr=qudafe$h$&e4Rub" Username="televic-education" />

in my config.xml. Because of special characters in the Password cruisecontrol service won't start. Is there a way to solve this?

Maybe with setting a property? Or escaping characters?

thx, Lieven Cardoen

Answer 1

Replace & with & in the password attribute. I don't know if that's the problem, but it's definitely a problem.
