Hello, I need to generate an apk file using an ant script but I'm having problems in the compile target. To generate automatically the ant script I've used the android tool with the command "android update project". The problem is that this project depends on another project so I need to do a custom compile task. For that reason I've ov...
Having just spent a frustrating amount of time configuring an automated build with psake the thought occurred to me why not use the language I know best to create a builder? psake is an excellent framework to create an automated build. The trouble I always have is learning powershell to run more complex tasks. I'm sure the same can be s...
I run my build script and then I have to remember which of the database SQL and PL/SQL scripts to run each time I deploy my application. How can I include these patches in my build script? Or does everybody just run them manually? Currently I number my patches so I know the order to run them, but sometimes I have to check SVN history ...
I'm currently looking into automating a software build process that includes a database schema defined in MySQL Workbench. Using Workbench's scripting capabilities, I'd like to open a Workbench document and export its schema as an SQL CREATE script. What I'd like to know is if there is a function that exports the entire schema in one s...
I have a (version controlled) folder of exported components of a VBA addin (i.e. a lot of cls, frm, frx, bas and txt files). Can someone give me a build script (can be a VB script, or something more complicated) that takes the name of this folder and produces a (working) XLA? I know you can programatically modify XLA files (e.g. this q...
I'm new to Perforce (but am fairly experienced with other systems, mostly SVN). Now I'm trying to make a simple windows bat build script that needs to check in some build results (controversial to some, I know, but please try to ignore as it's a different discussion). I'm using p4 for this. The problem is that it seems I either: Use ...
I have 3 build configurations for my solution: Release, Debug, and Custom. Also I have WebSite (yes, not a WebApplication) project type. By default, when you create WebSite VisualStudio 2008 adds to the solution file following sections: Debug.AspNetCompiler.VirtualPath = "/MyWebSite" Debug.AspNetCompiler.PhysicalPath = "MyWebSite\" Debu...
Hello, I wish to utilize the new gated check-in function of TFS 2010. I have about 10 solutions, that all share as a dependency a proprietary shared-code library. My structure is: TeamProj/SharedCode TeamProj/Proj1 TeamProj/Proj2 TeamProj/Proj3 ........ The question I have is, how can I set-off an integration of ALL projects that h...
Could anyone suggest the best Build Tools for use in the build process when building a blackberry application. Is it just the creation of an ANT project, does that cope with signing etc? Is there a better tool out there? I'd prefer a lightweight Windows solution. I normally use Automated Build Studio -- it can build ANT and it can al...
Hi, This has to be a pretty common issue, and while we have answers, I'm trying to determine if there is any better way. We are using IoC / DI with structuremap. This means that our final application (an Asp.Net MVC 2 app) requires the presence of some assemblies which aren't being referenced anywhere else (our implemention of IReposi...
Can Hudson CI tool solve project dependencies others than trivial ones? For example, how can I set up scenario in which there are two independent modules (A, B) and module C dependent on A and B? There's no way in my opinion: "Build others project" doesn't guarantee that A, B are built before C "Build after other projects are built" g...
A long time ago, I remember using some Solaris make, and they had an ingenious option that would automatically detect when the compiler options had changed, and rebuild all rules appropriately. For example, suppose I switch from: g++ -O3 to g++ -g Then all files should be recompiled. I'm using gnu make, and haven't found any featu...
I am pretty new in builders and absolutely newbie in FinalBuilder. It is a great app, very intuitive, well documented with lots of features. But I can't find one thing: How can I determine who is responsible for the broken build? ...
I'm building an Amazon EC-2 cloud-based build server for my personal development projects using Team City Professional. I only intend to use it of an evening and my project builds are going to be quite small. At this stage, is there a good reason why I should go for two servers: one hosting the Team City website another configured as...
Hello, We are working on .NET Windows Application. We were using TFS from the beginning. Now, after Assembla - an agile wiki project management and collabration tool that provides a repository for source control which is on SVN we are moving from TFS to SVN. We didn't bother when we started how would we provide (weekly) builds to our Q...
I'm looking to implement a build system that will run unit tests and JSLint on the Javascript, generate documentation and compress JavaScript and CSS into minified packages. I might also add an integration step, which automatically uploads the code to a server on each build. I feel overwhelmed by all the choices in build systems - some...
Hi, I need some help from you guys. Let me explain you what we were doing, first: We were working on a Windows Application and all of us are integrated with Team Foundation Server. We are done with all application features so now what we are working on is the list of defects that are reported from QA. QA list all their issues on Mercu...
Hi There! I'm looking to create an automatic build server which runs either when the developer check in changes to a solution or a certain time frame is reached (say 24 hours). I've looked around, and from what I understand - VS2010 has a different CI to older version, and as such, I can't find much information regarding such a process...
I am busy trying to configure a build server for TFS2010. My project has references to Microsoft.practices. The build fails because it can't find these references on the build server - because I haven't installed the Microsoft.practices on the build server. I was wondering if installing it on the build server is the best way to do it, o...
I use VS 2008, Team Explorer and TFS. I'm looking to automate your builds by executing TFSBuild.exe command. I follow those steps: Open TeamExplorer, in VS2008, connected to TFS; My Team Project has a Build (named MainBuild) in Builds. Then, I do Query New build option. I fill the properties in window dialog opened: build Definition...
