I've already got a NAnt build script that builds/runs tests/zips web project together, etc. but I'm working on a basic desktop application. How would I go about build the setup project using NAnt so I can include it with the build report on TeamCity. Edit: The setup is the basic Setup Project supplied with Visual Studio. It's for inte...
I'm using CVS on Windows (with the WinCVS front end), and would like to add details of the last check in to the email from our automated build process, whenever a build fails, in order to make it easier to fix. I need to know the files that have changed, the user that changed them, and the comment. I've been trying to work out the comm...
Hi there, this is my first question to stackoverflow so here it goes... I use cruise control for my continuous integration scheme, i want to use obfuscation in order to add another protection layer to my assemblies. The thing is that i don't know how to go about it since i couldn't find articles describing about this. Suggestions that i...
Our CruiseControl system checks out from starteam. I've noticed that it is sometimes not checking out new versions of files, only added files. Does anyone know why this is? ...
We're in an early stage of a new web project. The project will grow and become complex over time. From the beginning we will have unit and integration tests using JUnit and system tests using HtmlUnit. We might also add some static code analysis tools to the build process if they prove to be of value to us. If you're or have been involv...
I'm setting yup a Greenfield (yeeea!) web application just now was wondering how other people first setup their project with regards to automated/CI build? I generally follow this: Create SVN Repository with basic layout (trunk, braches, lib, etc.) Create basic solution structure (core, ui, tests) Create a basic test that fails Copy N...
I'm playing with the wonderful FindBugs plugin for Hudson. Ideally, I'd like to have the build fail if FindBugs finds any problems. Is this possible? Please, don't try and tell me that "0 warnings" is unrealistic with FindBugs. We've been using FindBugs from Ant for a while and we usually do maintain 0 warnings. We achieve this through ...
What are the best continuous integration frameworks/projects for Perl and why? ...
I've worked with Cruise Control as the CI framework in my last project. Any recommendations on some other tools? (Not that i found CruiseControl lacking, just wanted to know if someone did some comparisons) ...
There's a dozen services that provide hosted version control, hosted ticket tracking, hosted project management, and combinations of all of the above, there's even hosted web-based IDEs. But nobody's yet offered a hosted continuous integration service; at least that I can find. The concept seems simple enough: I register and provide th...
What sorts of things do you look for in a code review when using continuous integration? It seems like a lot of the literature around for code reviews mentions things like coding style, spelling mistakes, resource usage, error handling, etc. (perhaps not in that order :-) However tools like FxCop and StyleCop seem to pick up a most of th...
We use Hudson as a continuous integration system to execute automated builds (nightly and based on CVS polling) of a lot of our projects. Some projects poll CVS every 15 minutes, some others poll every 5 minutes and some poll every hour. Every few weeks we'll get a build that fails with the following output: FATAL: java.io.IOException...
Hello. I'm using NHibernate 2 and PostgreSQL in my project. SchemaExport class does a great job generating DDL scheme for database, but it's great until the first application. Is there any way to generate "migration" DLL (batch of "ALTER TABLE"'s instead of DROP/CREATE pair) using NHibernate mapping files? ...
I've got several AssemblyInfo.cs files as part of many projects in a single solution that I'm building automatically as part of TeamCity. To make the msbuild script more maintainable I'd like to be able to use the AssemblyInfo community task in conjunction with an ItemGroup e.g. <ItemGroup> <AllAssemblyInfos Include="..\**\Assembl...
At work, we have a windows server 2003 with IIS and Subversion installed. We use it to publish and test locally our ASP.NET websites. Every programmer has Tortoise installed on his PC and can update/commit content to the server. Hosting the repositories is working fine. But the files kept in those repositories needs then to be copied to...
In using our TeamCity Continuous Integration server we have uncovered some issues that we are unsure as to the best way to handle. Namely how to reference external applications that our application requires on the CI server. This was initially uncovered with a dependency on Crystal Reports, so we went and installed Crystal Reports on t...
So my build machine spits out a new executable and I would like to update my test machine with the new build. In order to do this I would need to somehow kill the process on the remote machine, copy over the new binary and start it running. And for some reason pskill and psexec don't work due to some weird IT setup. What would be a goo...
I've never used CI tools before, but from what I've read, I'm not sure it would provide any benefit to a solo developer that isn't writing code every day. First - what benefits does CI provide to any project? Second - who should use CI? Does it benefit all developers? ...
Can you suggest an asp.net 3.5 hosting provider with continuous integration (cctray – nant builds) and source control facilities (svn)? My requirement would be something like this: I checkin to a svn branch (say trunk) on the hosting provider space. CruiseControl.NET on the server fires off a build. I see success/failure on my cct...
My company is considering changing continuous integration servers (I won't say which one we have now, so I won't skew your responses in anyway :) ) I wondering if anybody has any recommendations? Best user experience, level of difficulty to maintain, etc... Our code is all in java, and we use ANT as a build tool. ...
