During a long compilation with Visual Studio 2005 (version 8.0.50727.762) I sometimes get the following error in several files in some project: fatal error C1033: cannot open program database 'v:\temp\apprtctest\win32\release\vc80.pdb' (The file mentioned is either vc80.pdb or vc80.idb in the project's temp dir.) The next build of the sa...
Why should I do Nightly Builds? ...
Assume that I set up an automatic nightly build. What artifacts of the build should I save? For example: Input source code output binaries Also, how long should I save them, and where? Do your answers change if I do Continuous Integration? ...
I am the newest member of a project that is an amalgam of various Applications written in various Programming Languages on both Unix and Windows operating systems. I get the 'honor' of figuring out how to implement a nightly Regression Build/Test for all these various Apps. Unfortunately, these Apps were NOT built with TDD principles a...
As probably 99% of the Stackers here I have quite a few Hobby projects running simultaneously, and I try to keep them under source control and get them to the point of the one-step build/test. But I've only rarely taken my hobby projects to the Nightly Build and Continuos Integration stages, because well I don't work on the projects ever...
I'm running JUnit nightly builds on my computer as a scheduled task in Windows XP. My application uses Jaxb, therefore some of the tests need to reference xsd schemas using the system classpath. When the nightly build runs while I'm not on the computer, I get an error like this: java.lang.Exception: Unable to load schema mySchema.xsd ...
At my place we are writing server side applications (WCF services) and we are looking forward automate the installation and run it in our nightly build process... Moreover, we are looking forward installing it again and again on different servers... We are searching for: what is the best tool for nightly build? (we are currently using...
I am using one server to build the same project both continuously and nightly; however I would like the nightly build to only build if a modification exists during the day. I am hoping to achieve this with the constraint that both builds use the same working folder. The two options I am considering are: Polling the continuous build a...
Joel seems to think highly of daily builds. For a traditional compiled application I can certainly see his justification, but how does this parallel over to web development -- or does it not? A bit about the project I'm asking for -- There are 2 developers working on a Django (Python) web app. We have 1 svn repository. Each developer...
We have an automated build server that builds our code nightly, which is useful for us since not everyone on our team can build the entire source tree. Lately, some members of the team are becoming more lax about fixing build errors promptly; sometimes weeks will go by without a successful build. I even overheard one developer say, "the ...
I recently stumbled over buildbot and wanted to give it a try. My problem is that I have to run it under Windows because we don't use Linux on workstations or servers in my company. I've already tried different installations: python 2.6, Twisted-9.0.0-py2.6, buildbot 0.7.12 python 2.6, pywin32-214-py2.6, Twisted-9.0.0-py2.6, buildbot 0....
We have a bunch of C/C++ modules and projects for QNX4, QNX6 and Linux. All of these are written in Eclipse/QNX Momentics and we use Project Sets (psf files) to combine different modules into projects as required. The projects are built using make. The psf files specify which modules are required for a certain project. I have looked at ...
Hello, I was told to create a tool like a Nightly Builder for a JUnit project. It's a client-server project with oracle database.The tests are based on QTP. Also there is a test interface written on C#. The tester can click on the interface to choose which tests to run and get a report from each test. So I have to make this procedure aut...
Buildbots Periodic scheduler triggers builds at fixed intervals (e.g. every 30 minutes). But there are certain times (e.g. at night, during the weekend or while regular maintenance is performed) where I'd like it to relax. Is there a way to have a more fine-grained description for the Periodic scheduler? Or should I rather use the Night...
We have a nightly build process that automatically versions all C++ projecs. Here's how it works. There's a common header file VersionNumber.h that has a specific #define for the version number. The nighly build checks this file out, increments the integer behind that #define and checks it in. All Visual C++ projects #include that header...
Does anyone know of a good resource for basic samples for both a NANT.Build file and a CCNet.Config file entry for nightly build on an ASP.net 4.0 application, having had a good look around online it appears that there's a lot of conjecture on how this should be done, but I'm looking for something sustainable. I have projects that use ....
