RE: [Ccnet-user] Vault Label problem

[Andy J. <an...@me...>]

I ran into the same issue.

Instead of letting CCnet to the labeling, I added the label via a nant
script.  If the build fails for any reason, I delete the label from Vault.

I was having a problem with the dateLabeller; it would apply the label, try
to build, and fail.  Then the next time around, it tried to use the same
label, and vault complains the label exists, thus causing the build to
fail..I hadn't come across this before because I was using VSS when I
created the dateLabeller, and VSS will automatically remove the existing
label before performing the label.

Subject: [Ccnet-user] Vault Label problem


Today I had a problem with vault and CCNet.  As far as I can figure ccnet
found that it needed to do a build, labeled the repository with the next
build label and then had problems getting the files to do the build.  Vault
having problems getting the new files is somewhat common since the
repository is at another site.  The next time it tired to do a build it
failed with the error that the repository was already labeled with the next
build number.



My temporary solution was to delete the bad label.



I suppose I could fix this by modifying the system to always increment the
build number, but I'd rather not do that if I can avoid it.  Is it possible
to do something like save the folder revision number that was gotten by the
get latest and do the labeling after we have a successful build?   Or is
this something I should add to build task after the call to msbuild?

RE: [Ccnet-user] Why am I told my build passed when it actually failed?

[Foster, R. - P. <RF...@qu...>]

John,

I thought that this type of problem was covered in the FAQ, but it
appears not.

CruiseControl.Net uses the "ErrorLevel" exit value returned by tools
such as Nant and Devenv to determine if the process was successful. In
this case, the operation you describe suggests that devenv is returning
zero (i.e. success) when it probably shouldn't be.

I notice the path to devenv.com is on the F drive. Can you verify that
path is correct. I imagine if it wasn't then you would get a more
significant failure, but you may not if there is a copy of devenv
somewhere referenced by your path environment variable.

You may also want to make sure that if it does exist it really is a copy
of devenv.com. If I recall correctly, there is also a devenv.exe which
*always* returns a zero ErrorLevel.

Hope this helps,
Regards,
Richard

[Ccnet-user] Visual Studio Task

[Schouten R. <ry...@ya...>]

When I have Cruise Control build a visual studio task
it doesn't place the assemblies in the bin directory
of the working directory. Actually the bin directory
doesn't even get created. 

What do I need to do to get the assemblies into the
bin directory of the working directory?

RE: [Ccnet-user] Vault Obliterate triggered build

[Andy J. <an...@me...>]

Obliterate is something only an administrator can do, after the file was
deleted.  Deleting the file is sufficient to kick off the build.

Obliterating is just a housekeeping measure done when you're certain you
won't be needing the file again.  I have nothing against builds, but I think
a new build number should mean that something has changed from the previous
build.

To make sure that it still builds?

Joe is browsing the source, looking at things, looking for code to cleanup.
He sees a file called DELETE_ME.source and after looking at the contents
(empty file or something) Joe obliterates the file.  This was probably a
rash bold move on his behalf, (at least, if obliterate means the usual, not
just delete, but also throw away all history) but it turns out that some
other process uses the delete_me file after it's been checked out, to manage
something else, (Presumably something where deleting the file indicates
that something is finished)

Joe's rash move forces a rebuild, and some people get hopping mad straight
away.

Ok, it's contrived, but if you can filter it out in an action filter, I'm
all for leaving it in.

Are you getting obliterates frequently enough that obliterates triggering
the build is really bothering you?  This is continuous integration, how's
one more build going to hurt?

Cheers,
Karl P

In Vault you have to delete first. Obliterate basically means "empty recycl=
e
bin". There is no way to directly obliterate.

Karl, in your example, the build would have been triggered at "Delete" (as

Thank you Owen. I'm sorry if my comment above came out as impatient; I
can perfectly relate to the difficulty of making time to work on
open-source
projects.

However I do have a minor nitpick regarding the changes you committed to
VssLocale.cs. The following comment is new for VssLocale :=20

	/// Keywords are output in the locale of the server and dates
are output in the locale of the client, which is, in this case,=20
	/// the current culture for the build server.  Generally these
two locales will be the same; however, if they are different, users
	/// can specify the server locale using the Vss.Culture
property.

My issue is with calling the locale used by VSS to output keywords the
"server locale".

Perhaps you are working under the misconception that the VSS "server"
(there is no such thing actually)
is in charge of generating the output. What actually happens is that the
VSS client (SS.EXE in this case)
outputs keywords in a language that is entirely determined by the locale
of the VSS SKU that is
used as a client (in other words this is set in stone when you pick up
the French VSS CD to run the
VSS client setup - which I would personally classify as a capital
offence but that's not the point <g>).

So if an English VSS and a French VSS access the same database they will
each return keywords in their
own language.

In short, I would rather call that "server locale" the "vss executable
locale", though I am not
entirely satisfied by this naming either...

Sorry for the nitpicking :)

Cheers,
--Jonathan

Hi all,

first I would like to thank the people at ThoghtWorks for this awesome =
product!=20

I am sure that this issue must be a VSS problem...  :-)


We are using CCNet 1.0.0.1251 with VSS 6.0d. There are several projects =
in the config file using the same VSS user. I have written a service =
permanently logged in to VSS to solve the "userxy.log not found"
problem. Both services run with this users Windows account (actually, =
this is my own account, which is something we are still trying to avoid =
somehow).

When we check in changes, CCNet recognizes them and triggers a build.
But the source files that CCNet uses for the build are not of the latest =
version. The changes appear in the build report, but not in the source =
files. These are the same versions as before the checkin. New files do =
not appear in the workspace at all.

After this inconsistent build, a forced build does get all the latest =
source files and everything works like it should.


Is this a known issue and can I do something so that CCNet forces VSS to =
always get the latest source?

both of these messages seem to be errors returned from clearcase
related to problems faced by clearcase.  if you execute these commands
from the command line can you reproduce these messages?  if so, you
might want to bring them to the attention of your clearcase

could you tell us a little bit more about your motivation for doing
this?  are you interested in reproducing a particular build from a
specific label?  or are you talking about setting up a ccnet project
to monitor a vss branch?

if it is the former: ccnet is not really designed to do this.  it is a
continuous integration server.  it is designed to always integrate the
latest changes that have been checked into the repository.  one way to
access historical builds is to have ccnet archive old builds using the
build publisher.  these archived builds can then be made available via
a web share, for example, for people to access and download.  this is
what we do on ccnetlive:
http://ccnetlive.thoughtworks.com/CCNet%2Dbuilds/

if it is the latter: in my limited understanding, branches in vss are
managed by branching shared folders/projects.  thus, to monitor a
branch just means changing the project that ccnet is monitoring to
reflect the branch.

if i've misunderstood your intention, please help clarify.

i don't believe that the filtered sourcecontrol block will help you do this=

yes, this is possible in the latest 1.1 builds on ccnetlive.  i
recently added support for and-ing together a bunch of triggers.  take
a look at the operator attribute:
http://confluence.public.thoughtworks.org/display/CCNET/Multiple+Trigger

one caveat: the 1.1 builds are interim builds.  please feel free to
download and experiment with them, but i would recommend doing so
locally without disrupting your main build server until you can verify
that this works to your expectations.

thomas, taliesin: i've applied this patch to the 1.0 branch and it is
available in 1.0.1.1276.  the new build can be downloaded from:
http://ccnetlive.thoughtworks.com/CCNet-builds/1.0.1.1276/

hopefully this will address the issues that you are facing with vss.

jonathan: sorry that it has taken so long to process your patch.  i've
made a few small modifications -- specifically avoiding the strict
dependency on CultureInfo.CurrentCulture which causes testing
problems.  my intention is to shortly release 1.0.1 to address this
and some other issues.  thanks again for your contribution.

If you're not familiar with ActionFilters (I wasn't), the documentation is

Nope.  The CC.Net source control blocks are primarily there to control 
the triggering of builds; the fact that they also update the source is a 
secondary purpose that is often convenient, but very limited.  The 
filtered source control block doesn't do anything of the sort; it simply 
limits which files in the source directory are used as triggers.

If you want to get a specific label from Visual SourceSafe, you'll need 
to do it yourself, perhaps via NAnt.  Getting CC.Net to tell your build 
which label to use really depends upon how you're using it, particularly 
how do you decide which label to use?  If it's manual and rare (e.g. "I 
need to rebuild version xxx.") then you may want to consider fetching 
and building manually.  If it's manual and common, you might want to 
specify the label through some file, have CC.Net trigger based on 
changes to that file, and have your script do the fetch by reading the 
label from the same file.

[Ccnet-user] How to rebuild a particular label?

[<Rob...@Co...>]

I would like to build a particular label without getting the latest from 
SourceControl (VSS).

In my SourceControl block I would set autoGetSource="false" so that I 
don't get the latest from Visual Source Safe. But I don't know where to 
set and get a specific label. 

I think the answer is in the Filtered SourceControl Block but I haven't 
had any luck yet.

Anyone has done this before?

Thanks,
Robert Liem

Yeah, you make a virtual dir that maps  http://localhost/<PROJECTNAME> =

[Ccnet-user] Source Control Project File Location Headache

[Richard, J. <Jef...@ib...>]

Hello,

I have run into a scenario I am hoping someone else has already figured
out.  I have a C# ASP.NET solution with 5 projects, UI, Common, BDL,
DAL, Build.  When I get the solution from source control (PVCS), the
ASP.NET project is linked to http://localhost/<PROJECTNAME>, which
points to the default location c:\inetpub\wwwroot, the remainder of my
files go to the default PVCS working directory, c:\pvcs.  So after
getting from source control, the ASP.NET project resides under
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\<project name> and the rest of the source resides
under c:\pvcs\<project names>.  The solution file has a tag called
SccLocalPath0 which is set to " SccLocalPath0 =3D
..\\..\\..\\inetpub\\wwwroot\\<WEBPROJECT>"

My problem is that the solution file is hardwired to the physical
location of the ASP.NET project, in addition to being bound to the http
location.  My problem is that PVCS plug-in gets to the working
directory, but in my case I have 2 different working directories, I need
the source get to go to the C:\PVCS directory and the c:\inetpub\wwwroot
directory.  CCNET only allows 1 source control block per project, so
having two PVCS configuration for the project won't work.

Has anyone run into this problem and found a solution other than manual
source control gets per project?

Also, I

I don't think so. In fact for me it made sense for the "master"
project is the root dependency of all sub projects, therefore the sub
projects only kicks off when the master is successful. To detect
whether the "whole" build is successful or not, well, it's back to the
good old eyeball method... if I see five green row then the build is
successful!

To do this I added yet another project, that uses a filesystem source
control, monitoring a specific file that will be 'touched' by the last
project to be built in the whole build. If it detects this it knows
that the build is finished and it will gather all the artefacts to the
release location.

A bit arcane, but until we got full build dependency, I guess I can
live with it!
