Hi Guys. I'm just getting into TDD, and from looking around, the general concensis seems to be to have a one to one mapping from a code project to a test project. My question is, if you follow this route, and have multiple test assemblies, what is the best way to run these as part of an NAnt script? If it makes a difference, I am using ...
I can't make nant do a release build of Caliburn using their build.cmd. Can anyone tell me how to? What command line parameters should I use? ...
I'm constantly trying to remember some of the buried targets in my nant file. Is there a command that I can run before I run the target that lists the targets? ...
I'm always compile my project, and copy the dll's from the dependency projects to the UI bin folder. after a few days with 'copy & paste' operations each time that I recompile my project, I concluded that I need a tool that will do it to me automatically. after a few searches a founded that this tool is nAnt. I search for information ho...
Hi, I've been trying to use the param in my cruisecontrol build config file to no avail. When checking the cruisecontrol log file, whatever buildargs I try to pass are NOT passed to the call to nAnt. Here's the nant task: <nant> <buildArgs>-D:CCFoo="Unknown" -D:foo="$(foo)"</buildArgs> <executable>C:\MCR\Trunk\BuildLibrary\NAnt...
I thought this would be a simple task, but I'm currently unable to get it to work. There are built in functions such as <svn-update> etc. But not for revert it seems? I have tried using the following but get an error that I have no supplied enough parameters. <svn command="revert" destination="${root}" uri="${build.repos}" username="${...
I am very new to writing Build Script. I am trying to understand the impact of the using Different languages (c#, vb.net c++) while creating a build script. Build script can written using either Nant or MSBuild. Is the only change in the build script is with regards to compiler switch or even the deployment structure also changes with...
I'm trying to decide which side I'm on in the MsBuild vs. Nant war. I'm starting with: stop a service, deploy some files, restart the service. Just from looking at these two links, that is much easier to do in Nant. MSBuild: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/173393/example-of-using-service-exists-msbuild-task-in-microsoft-sdc-tasks/17...
We have a NANT script that uses msbuild to compile our visual studio solutions and deploys the .dlls into the GAC. This works well on our integration/test servers as part of continuous integration, cruise control uses the NANT scripts and every time the dlls are put into the GAC without problem. On our local development machines, where...
I am just starting to pick up NAnt as a replacement for MSBuild in our CruiseControl project. One of the things we do inside a set of projects is link in a single AssemblyInfo.cs file from outside of the project tree to make versioning easier (it lives in a directory above the project folders). Is there an obvious way of achieving this...
I am writing a nAnt script and need to get the parent directory. I have used: <property name="perforceWS" value="${project::get-base-directory()}"/> this returns the current directory. How can I get the property to be the parent's directory? ...
Hello, We have a number of Nant scripts which compile .NET code. These builds are taking 5 - 10 minutes to run, and I would like to find a way to speed them up. Our Nant script looks something like <target name="compile.XYZ" description="Compiles the source code"> <msbuild project="${src.dir}\XYZ.sln" verbosity="${build.verbosi...
I'm trying to create an XML file using C# and Linq to XML, but am having problems with the nant namespace. var myXElement = new XElement("project", new XAttribute("name", "MySystemName"), new XAttribute("default", "myNAntTargetName"), new XAttribute("xmlns", "http://nant.sf.net/schemas/nant.xsd")); myXElement.Save("c:\foo.xml"); Beca...
I'm looking for my build to delete the contents of a directory without touching a certain folder. Below is what I'm trying, and it even looks wrong to me...aside from the fact that it bombs when I run it. Do I need to be deleting the contents of the dir explicitly and at the same time exclude my Reports folder? <delete includeemptydi...
We're in the process of evaluating MSBuild and Nant for deploys. We may roll our own tool. One thing that a different business unit -- let's call it DeptA -- would really like to have (as in it better have it) is the ability for someone in DeptA to read the script and see what it will do. Currently we do this with .bat files. We hates t...
In C#, I need to create XML files for use with Ivy and NAnt, but am having difficulty in getting the right encoding in the output file. If I use XElement's .Save("C:\foo.xml"), I get the correct looking file, but Ivy and/or NAnt gets upset, as the file is actually saved using UTF-8 but I actually need to save it as ANSI in order to be a...
Hello.. I have to write an Nant script that will accept 2 parameters on the command line. The first is just an option and has the following format: -myOption. The second one needs to be wrapped in quotes: "some value with space". e.g. -myOption "this value" I am new to Nant so I have unsuccessful so far and don't know how to output t...
Hey everyone... I have the following in a build script: <record action="Start" autoflush="true" name="${nant.log}"/> The name value is valid. I get the following error message: Invalid element <record>.Unknown task or datatype. After looking at the documentation I am not sure why this is causing an error. Any ideas? ...
I am just getting started with Silverlight and have recently added a Silverlight project to an established solution. In this particular scenario my solution included an existing ASP.NET web site which Visual Studio kindly offered to integrated my Silverlight application into, which I accepted. So everything is fine and all, and the Silv...
I see the CSC task in NAnt has a nowarn attribute, but apparently this is deprecated. How can I suppress warnings then? ...
