I have a simple HelloWorld application that I'm trying to build using NAnt. However, even with the simplest of build files, I still cannot get it to work. Below is my HelloWorld.build file. <?xml version="1.0"?> <project name="Hello World" default="build"> <property name="nant.settings.currentframework" value="net-3.5"/> <target name="b...
I am working on a prototype project and need to put a new layer of abstraction over my existing NAnt scripts, for which I'd like to use .Net, possibly even WPF. What I have at present is a NAnt script which I call from a Command window (a DOS box, for the old-skoolers). As I said, I'd like to wrap this inside a WPF application that I c...
In our build process we're currently using MBUnit 2.x tests, called from an NAnt task, called from CruiseControl.NET. I've uprgaded to Gallio and MBUnit 3.x locally and am able to run tests from VS2008. I'm having trouble getting our build process upgraded. It looks like we have two options, either run the tests from CruiseControl.net...
Hi, I have a website project in Visual Studio 2008. I would like to build this website using MSBuild.

Our team recently upgraded to TeamCity 4.5.4 but we're having trouble with TeamCity running our nant build scripts. We now get an error message saying: Invalid element <trycatch>.

I am succesfully building ASP .Net applications in NAnt using the ASP Compiler, without a problem., as part of my Continuous Integration process. However, if I try exactly the same process on an ASP .NET MVC application, the build fails in NAnt, but will compile succesfully in Visual Studio. The error message I get in NAnt is: [Htt...
I am trying to get Selenium Grid to run using NAnt but am a little lost, as all explanations I can find use Ant - although I thought they were fairly similar, I can't seem to fire off Selenium Grid on my local PC in this way. Here's the URLs to the Selenium Grid pages online that I've found, but they refer to Ant... Get started ...lea...

Using subversion and Nant for building. I have a main project that depends on several sub-projects. The sub-projects exist as separate projects inside subversion. My question is: Should the nant build script in the main project build all the referenced sub projects and itself? Or do the subprojects know how to build themselves and I ...
I am currently setting up NCover as part of our CC.NET continuous integration. I've downloaded NCover 1.0.1 from sourceforge, and put the relevent DLLs into the correct nant folder so I can use the tasks in my build file. The build process instruments our source code correctly, and then goes on to build the solution using MSBuild. At t...

I'm trying to build a VS 2008 solution in NAnt, but it seems msbuild stops the build process after the first compilation errror has occured. In MSBuild there is a "ContinueOnError=true" or "StopOnFirstFailure=false" attribute, but how to specify this in NAnt ? The failonerror="false"does not solve the problem: ...

I'm a solo developer looking into a tool such as MSBuild/NAnt to improve my build process. My project files are starting to get messy with post-build events and there are analysis tools I'd like to run some times and not others. I want to regain order and define everything into a build XML file. My thoughts for build targets are: Debu...
How can I add a silverlight-3.0 target framework to NAnt? I tried modifying the nant.exe.config file, based on silverlight-2.0 profile, but that fails during compilation with CS0518: Type "System.Object" not defined or imported [error message translated from Polish]. Also, the silverlight-2.0 target does not seem to set "SILVERIGHT" cond...
I have a build script running successfully, but I am having a hard time running anything after aspnet_compiler completes. I want to use robocopy to copy the project to another folder. If I put the copy task above the compile (as shown below) I get the message to the console, but if I place it after the compile it is not seen. Am I mis...
We are currently using CruiseControl.NET with NAnt 0.85 build scripts and while everything is working well, the log files are a little too verbose for my liking. In particular, when deleting folders using the <delete> task I always get a [delete] Deleting directory entry in the log. Fair enough but this task is run in a foreach loop ...
