ccnet Not triggering build when changes are committed to svn

Question

There is a problem with the ccnet. The server is not able to detect modifications even after the changes are committed to SVN. Can anyone help regarding this??

Below is the configuration file for the cruise:

Answer 1

Well obviously CC.NET does not think there are any modifications, so one thing you could do is from the command line issue the svn log command that CC.NET does

svn log http://svn01.com/abc/Project/trunk/dev -r "{2009-03-25T17:27:24Z}:{2009-03-25T17:45:57Z}" --verbose --xml --username abc --password abcd --non-interactive --no-auth-cache]

One thing you will notice is the times in there. If any of the changes you expect to see happened before this period they will not show up. It looks like CC.NET is only looking back into the previous 18 minutes. What if you do a check in while the system is running? DOes it still not recognize it?

Answer 2

We had a similar problem when our subversion and build server's clocks got out of sync by more than 10 mins. Worth checking to eliminate it as a potential problem.
