I'm trying to get CCNet to build a project at a scheduled time, but ONLY if another project successfully built since the last time. I have the following block:
<triggers>
<multiTrigger operator="And">
<triggers>
<projectTrigger project="Trunk Integration Tests">
<triggerStatus>Success</triggerStatus>
<innerTrigger type="intervalTrigger" seconds="30" buildCondition="IfModificationsExist" />
</projectTrigger>
<scheduleTrigger time="15:00" buildCondition="ForceBuild" name="Scheduled" />
</triggers>
</multiTrigger>
</triggers>
To head off any questions about why I want to do this; we have integration tests that run once an hour. The build from which the above code comes is a deployment build that pulls down the code, compiles, and the pushes the code out to one of our servers. We have deployment builds for dev servers, QA and staging.
The problem I'm having is that this build fired at 4:45PM yesterday, just after the integration build was successful. CCNet says the build reason was Build (ForceBuild) triggered from Scheduled.
What's going on here, and how can I get it working like I described?
I think it's possible to avoid <multiTrigger> in this case. You can just author a <projectTrigger>, and set its <innerTrigger> to the type of <scheduleTrigger>. Something like this:
<triggers>
<projectTrigger project="Trunk Integration Tests">
<triggerStatus>Success</triggerStatus>
<innerTrigger type="scheduleTrigger" time="15:00" buildCondition="IfModificationsExist" name="Scheduled" />
</projectTrigger>
</triggers>
I use triggerFirstTime true to fire with a schedule interval.
<projectTrigger project="MyProject">
<triggerStatus>Success</triggerStatus>
<triggerFirstTime>true</triggerFirstTime>
<innerTrigger type="scheduleTrigger" time="10:30" buildCondition="ForceBuild" name="Scheduled" />
</projectTrigger>

Using the TeamCity API:
We are trying to put together a dashboard to work out how long from a build failing, it took for someone to assign themselves to an investigation for the build / project.
We cant find a way to do this as investigations are assigned to projects not builds so there is no way to find out when an investigation started for a particular build ?
If you need to get investigation for build configuration you may use the following REST API:
http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/investigations?locator=buildType:(id:XXXX)
For example, the following request
https://teamcity.jetbrains.com/app/rest/investigations?locator=buildType:(id:Epigenome_GenestackTests)
returns the following response, which has timestamp under assignment node:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<investigations count="1" href="/app/rest/investigations?locator=buildType:(id:Epigenome_GenestackTests)">
<investigation id="buildType:(id:Epigenome_GenestackTests)" state="TAKEN" href="/app/rest/investigations/buildType:(id:Epigenome_GenestackTests)">
<assignee username="evgeny.kurbatsky" name="Evgeny.Kurbatsky" id="1107" href="/app/rest/users/id:1107" />

I'm currently looking at TeamCity and how to get our Ruby tests running. I can run the tests just fine when using the Command line or Rake builders. The question I'm trying to solve right now is two fold:
In one of my previous jobs, we also relied on TeamCity to run our .NET tests. We used Nant for this and we had means of tracking the amount of queries that were ran during tests as well as the average execution time for these queries.
I'm trying to do the same right now with my Ruby project. So the first logical step I want to tackle is, How do I run for example RSpec or Cucumber tests using Ant?
I tried looking at Ant itself and grasp it a little bit, but all the examples I find are for jRuby, which we don't use. We rely on RVM and a normal Ruby installation.
The second part of the question is, How can I track the amount of queries ran and their execution time? I'm guessing there is probably a gem for it or some sort of global variable to track. Would love to output this information back to TeamCity somehow.
EDIT
Ok, so I managed to get things running with Ant for my TeamCity server.
This is the XML i'm using atm:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="rubycas" default="init">
<description>
This buildfile is used to build the RubyCAS project under TeamCity and run the required tasks to validated
whether the project is stable and fully functional.
</description>
<property name="test_type" value="cucumber" />
<target name="init">
<echo message="##teamcity[testStarted name='Rubycas']" />
<condition property="cucumberBool">
<equals arg1="${test_type}" arg2="cucumber" />
</condition>
<condition property="rspecBool">
<equals arg1="${test_type}" arg2="rspec" />
</condition>
</target>
<target name="rspec" if="rspecBool" depends="init">
<exec executable="rspec" outputproperty="result">
<arg value="--require teamcity/spec/runner/formatter/teamcity/formatter" /> <arg value="--format Spec::Runner::Formatter::TeamcityFormatter" />
</exec>
<echo message="${result}" />
</target>
<target name="cucumber" if="cucumberBool" depends="init">
<exec executable="cucumber" outputproperty="result">
<arg value="--format junit" />
<arg value="--out results" />
<arg value="features" />
</exec>
<echo message="${result}" />
</target>
</project>
Problem now is, I cannot get the output from RSpec into TeamCity to recognize the tests.
You can use ant's exec task to run arbitrary system calls, which in your case might be rspec:
https://ant.apache.org/manual/Tasks/exec.html
Something along the lines of
<target name="rspec">
<exec executable="rake">
<arg value="spec"/>
</exec>
</target>
I don't know if your tracking stuff will work with this though, because it's really executing the commands outside of ant.
I am trying to get Spring MVC and Junit working with eachother and I am having trouble configuring the build.xml file. I am fairly new at using ANT and do not really understand all the tutorials. I put the junit.jar file in the lib direcotory, but still am getting the following message from my console.
test:
BUILD FAILED
C:\Java\mmz\WEB-INF\build.xml:63: The <classpath> for <junit> must include junit.jar if not in Ant's own classpath
Total time: 223 milliseconds
Edit
Here is an example of wanting to run just one test
and I am not sure what I need to do, i tried doing something like the following, but I dont quite understand what its doing, so I dont know how to make changes
<path id="classpath.test">
<pathelement location="" />
<pathelement location="${test.dir}" />
</path>
<target name="test">
<junit>
<classpath refid="classpath.test" />
<formatter type="brief" usefile="false" />
<test name="TesterTest" />
</junit>
</target>
I am pretty lost on what to do next. Thanks
If you copy-pasted your build.xml file then there is probably a classpath element somewhere. Probably near the top of the file. In that element they have probably listed some paths and/or files. You need to add the junit jar to this section.
Background
I'm putting together a Continuous Integration system at work on two VMs running on my local desktop. VM #1 (Toolbox) is running CruiseControl.Net, Subversion, BugTracker.Net and SQL Server Express. VM #2 (BuildMaster) is running NAnt with NAntContrib and has VB 6.0 and the 1.0/1.1/2.0/3.5 .Net Framework SDKs installed. The intent is to tightly control what's installed on BuildMaster and be much looser on Toolbox and developer workstations.
Issue
I had a CCNet project on Toolbox that successfully compiled a test VB 6.0 application on BuildMaster, but the build started failing last week. The only thing I remember doing was install BugTracker.Net and SQL Server Express on Toolbox.
Symptoms
The build fails and returns an exception:
<![CDATA[Starting 'vb6 ( /make "\\buildmaster\Working\TestApp\TestApp.vbp" /outdir "\\buildmaster\Working\TestApp\build" /out "\\buildmaster\Working\TestApp\TestApp.build.err")' in '\\buildmaster\Working\TestApp']]></message><duration>711.02240000000006</duration></task><duration>761.09440000000006</duration></target><failure><builderror><type>NAnt.Core.BuildException</type><message><![CDATA['vb6' failed to start.]]></message><location><filename>\\buildmaster\Working\TestApp\TestApp.build</filename><linenumber>39</linenumber><columnnumber>4</columnnumber></location><stacktrace><![CDATA[ at NAnt.Core.Tasks.ExternalProgramBase.StartProcess() in c:\Nant\src\NAnt.Core\Tasks\ExternalProgramBase.cs:line 501

Obviously, the meat of the exception is [CDATA['vb6' failed to start.]]. My problem is that when I run the Nant build directly on BuildMaster it completes the build successfully every time.
For the sake of completeness, here's my NAnt build script:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<project name="TestApp" default="build">
<!-- set build.date property to current date in format yyyy-MM-dd -->
<tstamp property="build.date" pattern="yyyy-MM-dd" />
<!-- global project settings -->
<property name="project.name" value="TestApp" />
<property name="project.version" value="1.00" unless="${property::exists('project.version')}" />
<property name="project.release.type" value="release" unless="${property::exists('project.release.type')}" /> <!-- nightly / dev / alpha / beta# / rc# / release -->
<property name="build.warnaserror" value="false" />

<property name="build.defines" value="" />
<property name="build.number" value="${math::abs(math::floor(timespan::get-total-days(datetime::now() - datetime::parse('01/01/2000'))))}" />
<!-- platform specific properties. These are the defaults -->
<property name="current.build.defines" value="${build.defines}" />
<!-- Build Tasks -->
<target name="init" description="Initializes build properties">
<property name="build.dir" value="${project::get-base-directory()}\build" />

</target>

<echo message="Clearing out files before recompiling..." />
<delete verbose="true">
<fileset basedir="${build.dir}">
<include name="TestApp*.exe" />
</fileset>
</delete>
</target>
<target name="build" depends="clean" description="Perform a build of the base TestApp product">
<mkdir dir="${build.dir}" unless="${directory::exists(build.dir)}" />
<!-- Actually compile VB6 project into executable -->
<vb6 project="TestApp.vbp" outdir="${build.dir}" errorfile="TestApp.build.err" verbose="true" />
</target>
</project>
Your help is greatly appreciated!
I might be misinterpreting your question so please bear with me. CCNet's nant task operatates on the local machine (the machine running CCNet).
If ToolBox is running CCNet but BuildMaster is running all tools (i.e. VB6, etc), I'm fairly sure there no way to do what's being attempted. Generally, CCNet needs to be running on the machine actually performing the builds. Therefore, the fact that VB6 cannot be found is because VB6 is not installed on ToolBox.
However, CCNet does have a way to monitor/control multiple build servers from one. So in your case you could configure ToolBox to control BuildMaster's builds, but CCNet would need to be installed on both. For a reference on something like this you can check out Splitting the build on CCNet's site.
I use CruiseControl.NET to automatically build my .NET 3.5 web applications, which works a treat. However, is there any way to automatically create a ZIP file of these builds, and put the ZIP's into a separate directory?
I have seen this is possible using NAnt but cannot find an example of how to get this working.
Can anyone offer help/examples?
I've just added such a Nant task to our CC machine.
See http://nant.sourceforge.net/release/latest/help/tasks/zip.html
Note when initially viewing the zip archive, it may appear as if all the files are at the same level, i.e no folders, but actually they folders are preserved.
Notice how you can exclude file types or folders.
You could take the approach of only including the file types you want and excluding the rest.
First define properties for where the source files are allcode.dir and the name and location of the zip file sourcebackup.zip
Now here is the nant task
<zip zipfile="${sourcebackup.zip}" includeemptydirs="true" verbose="true">
<fileset basedir="${allcode.dir}">
<include name="**/*" />
<exclude name="**/_resharper*/**" />
<exclude name="**/build/**" />
<exclude name="**/obj/**" />
<exclude name="**/bin/**" />
<exclude name="**/*.dll" />
<exclude name="**/*.scc" />
<exclude name="**/*.log" />
<exclude name="**/*.vssscc" />
<exclude name="**/*.suo" />
<exclude name="**/*.user" />
<exclude name="**/*.pdb" />
<exclude name="**/*.cache" />
<exclude name="**/*.vspscc" />
<exclude name="**/*.msi" />
<exclude name="**/*.irs" />
<exclude name="**/*.exe" />
</fileset>
<echo message="########## Zipped##########" />
Call this from your cc build like any other nant task.
We find it best if each CC project calls a single task if possible, then you only have to change the nant script, and you can run the nant script on your local machine.
Eg in the project block, we have the single target "build", which as part of its work calls ZipSource
<targetList>
<target>Build</target>
</targetList>
We use the above for a BizTalk project.
Enjoy.
If you're using Nant, then doesn't the Zip task work for you?
We are zipping the sources of a CruiseControl.NET project
but we are using ant
<target name="zipProject">
<mkdir dir="output"/>
<zip destfile="output\sources.zip" basedir="C:\project\src" />
</target>
i don't know about nant but i would expect it to be similar
#David: The NAnt Zip task is what I'm after, yes, but I'm asking how to integrate it as part of an automatic CruiseControl.NET build. If you take a look at the NAnt documentation for the cruise control config it doesn't make it clear if I can run an NAnt task from inside the <tasks> XML node in my CruiseControl config - it only says that it can be part of a <schedule>.
I have found a few examples of setting up your CruiseControl config and a few examples of NAnt tasks but nothing that integrates the two: specifically, zipping up a CruiseControl build.
If anyone has some sample XML of their CruiseControl config, hooking up to an NAnt zip task, post samples here.
Cheers.
