We're a medium sized engineering shop (10-20). We are great at prioritizing and structuring work on our user facing stories and making customers happy. But the cobbler's children have no shoes. If it isn't about customers, we have 0 process. I'm looking for systems to ensure we correctly prioritize and accomplish the non user facing wo...
Our msbuild process creates a variety of zip packages for deployment (mostly web sites, but other things as well). We have a variety of recurring problems that keep sneaking back - files included that shouldn't be, missing resources. This screams for automated validation. The criteria to test for are simple Validation of foosite package...
I downloaded Hudson, and am trying to install it as a service. I followed the steps from this page, but when I try to start the service, it always fails. I'm not really getting any defined error codes either. If I try to run the service from the command line (using net start) I get the following (unhelpful) message: The hudson servic...
Hi I have solved my initial problem with statistics gathering, but now would like to present the data in some nice charts (much like the default ones already in CCNET). I have followed what I think is the correct way to do this, but still nothing shows up. Is there a working example that I can see working that anymore knows of? Thanks in...
Duplicate: Continuous Integration Cruise Control .NET alternatives? I'm planning to start Continuous Integration where I work. I used to use TFS in my previous workplace and before that CruiseControl.Net and before that we wrote our own CI server. I was wondering what tools are other people are using and why? I'm mainl...
I have a XAF application that I've built and a nant script that runs fine on my development machine. The script uses MsBuild and the CSPROJ File to compile the project. When the CruiseControl.net server tries to compile the project it states that it cannot find the XAF assemblies needed to compile. I tried referencing all DLLs as Loca...
We are in the process of re-configuring our server environment, from Development to Production. All servers will be Windows 2008 servers running as VM's. We will be using TeamCity for Continuous Integration and SubVersion as our Version Control System. After reading some of the recommendations, here is what I am planning on going with...
Hi, My setup: One project with two build configs ("ci" and "reset dbs") the "ci" is just a regular ci build of the project the "reset dbs" uses the same VCS but only triggers builds in the "common\database" folder (runs reset of the databases required for the tests) (trigger pattern: +:Common/Database/**) Now - I would that when I c...
I looked at a couple other questions on SO - and not really sure they answer this question. We are building C++ applications for Win32 and Linux. Right now we have some scripts (bat files for win32) that run on a schedule to do builds. We'd like to have CI for our projects, but I'd like to have only one CI server that handles buildin...
I want to obtain the assembly version from my solution and apply that to a cc.net label. I think I'm doing it backwards since all the info out there have the CI server set the version. But I'm not sure how to integrate different release versions and the development branch into CI. Every time we release we up the revision number. Woul...
Has anyone successfully used hudson to build .Net 1.1 Projects? If so, can you share the configuration. I am having trouble. Hudson uses MSBuild which was introduced with .Net 2.0. I found MSBee which is a MSBuild toolkit for 1.1 but so far I have not got it to work with Hudson. I point Hudson at the 2.0 MSbuild after installing MSBee a...
We've got a C++ Project that currently uses Make on Linux to build. I'd like to automate it similar to a Java Project under CruiseControl. 1) Is there a project similar to CruiseControl for C++ projects? OR 2) Is there a good "how-to" on using CruiseControl for C++ Projects? ...
Normally when a Developer compiles a certain mixed C++/C# solution locally on their machine at our company, they employ the use of a .vssettings configuration file. One of the things included in this config file is reference to various directory paths for Lib and Include files. However, our buildAgent machines (using TeamCity) are set ...
I work on a large project in an organization that is (slowly) upgrading our development processes to be a bit more modern. We currently are considering moving to a Continuous Integration model; as part of this move, we are considering writing our own Continuous Integration server. We have a very mature (somewhat ossified) build process...
I am thinking about writing my own release storage server and before I do this, I'd like to know what people use to see integration instead of create. So what do you use to store your builds for internal access? I'm looking for a web app that allows me to upload artifacts and then reference them by various tags so I can group them toge...
Any ideas as to how to make this error message go away? Cannot run process E:\Program Files\Microsoft FxCop 1.36\FxCop.exe\FxCopCmd.exe /forceoutput /gac /ignoregeneratedcode /f:\Sacog\bin\Debug\Sacog.dll /out:05A1B22A-DE6E-49ae-AA30-DC52A074EF22\fxcop-result.xml : file not found ...
We're running continuous integration builds from TFS, and generating a lot of symbol files that we store using symstore.exe (67GB worth in the last year or so.) How do other people clean up their symbol files? Do you automate the process? ...
I'm sure that this is a common issue that other have solved before so I'm calling on the collective wisdom of other developers/project managers out there for some help. I've got a number of projects: Application WebApp ServerApp Dev Utils ORM All of the apps/utils depend on the ORM: When the ORM changes, it needs to be compiled and ...
My company currently use CruiseControl.NET, which I find quite a pain on the neck to configure. What CI solution do you use? ...
I just committed a very large 3rd party library (Boost) into our source control. I set it up with its own repository. I tagged its version so that other projects could svn:externals this specific version. This is perfectly fine, until I realize that my Continuous Integration (CI) server will do a complete check out everytime I checked-i...
