Cruisecontrol.net nant results different from non-cc.net

Question

I've a nant script that builds a VS2008 solution. When I run it myself by typing 'nant' in the command line all the correct DLLs are copied to the respective bin directories. But when Cruisecontrol performs the CI build no DLLs are copied to the bin directories.

Any ideas what's causing this?

Answer 1

Very probably there is something in your environment not in the Cruise Control environment. Add something in the CruiseControl build (like setting verbose on nant) and confirm you have the same paths set up.

Answer 2

Your problem, dear Mr. Flibble, is that you have specified "test" as the target in the cc.net config which is overrigind the default target (build) that gets executed when executing nant from the commandline.
