I have been unable to successfully send an email from my project builds. I have added the following section to the project in the ccnet.config file and nothing happens. I was hoping for some sort of trace or error messages in the build log assuming something is wrong.
<publishers>
<xmllogger logDir="C:\Build\src\Library\TestLibrary\BuildLogs" />
<artifactcleanup cleanUpMethod="KeepLastXBuilds" cleanUpValue="5" />

Email errors typically appear in the event viewer on the server. If the error was recognized by cruise control it would also typically show a failing task in the dashboard, along with a successful build.
You should ask the smtp server asministrator to get the log.
The error can be catch by CC.NET, resulting in an exception on the dashboard (if smtp if not accessible) but as it is in publish section, the global build will still be success.

You didn't post the content of your ccnet.config file which the error you are getting is complaining about. Lets start with the obvious. I would look to see if there is a typo in there, for example maybe a missing quote or something in the appSettings section. If you have the unmodified version revert back to that and see if your issue goes away and compare the unmodified with the modified.
There is an app called CCValidator which will tell you where the error is in your ccnet.config file. I suspect that is not where the problem is. It sounds like the error is in the ccservice.exe.config. Perhaps someone accidentally copied ccnet.config to ccservice.exe.config. The error may also be in your web dashboard's configuration.
I solved the issue by removing the build args tag.
</noconsolelogger /t:CTSx86;BuildZip /v:d>
My processor was 64 bit and I was using noconsolelogger /t:CTSx86 which is for a 32 bit processor. Anyway these were optional so I removed it worked fine.

and xmllogger create folder log and save file in it with random name like log20111229001245.xml.
How can I merge this file to msbuild-results.xml and send it with mail?
You don't, at least not the way you are approaching this. The standard way would be:
Replace your xmllogger configuration with simple <xmllogger/> and put it after the merge publisher.
Unless the msbuild-results.xml and TestResult.xml files are very large, use action="Merge" instead of Copy for the merge publisher.
Set you email publisher to includeDetails="TRUE" - once the other files are merged into you build report, that tells CruiseControl.Net to output the full build report in the email.
I've got a problem publishing my current Project status.
Mapping:
<publishers>
<xmllogger /><!-- Log For WebDashboard ##Do not remove##-->
<email>
...
</email>
<onfailure>
<exec>
<executable>echo ERROR > logs/status.txt</executable>
</exec>
</onfailure>
</publishers>
When i want to start my Service i get the following message:
ThoughtWorks.CruiseControl.Core.Config.ConfigurationException:
Unable to instantiate CruiseControl projects from configuration document.
Configuration document is likely missing Xml nodes required for properly populating CruiseControl configuration.
Unable to load array item 'onfailure' - Cannot convert from type System.String to ThoughtWorks.CruiseControl.Core.ITask for object with value: "echo ERROR > logs/status.txt"
Does anyone know what that message means?
Thanks in anticipation

Are you using CruiseControl or CruiseControl.NET?
If CC.NET, then the "onfailure" node does not exist. Instead you should use the Conditionnal Publisher[1] like this :
<conditionalPublisher>
<conditions>
<condition>Failure</condition>
</conditions>
<publishers>
<exec>
<executable>echo ERROR > logs/status.txt</executable>
</exec>
</publishers>
</conditionalPublisher>
You may also need to encapsulate your echo task in a cmd invokation :
<exec>
<executable>cmd.exe</executable>
<buildArgs>/c "echo ERROR > logs\status.txt"</buildArgs>
</exec>
[1] http://ccnetlive.thoughtworks.com/ccnet/doc/CCNET/Conditional%20Publisher.html
From the documentation, it looks like <executable> has to be the name of the executable and the arguments must be passed in <buildArgs>. So something like this may do the trick.
<exec>
<executable>echo</executable>
<buildArgs>ERROR > logs/status.txt</buildArgs>
</exec>
I currently have our build server set up with CruiseControl.Net running a build using MSBuild and then running unit tests using MSTest. The problem is I can't see the output of the unit tests in CC - I know they are being run because I can get the build to fail if I commit a failing test.
I have followed the online guides from http://blogs.blackmarble.co.uk/blogs/bm-bloggers/archive/2006/06/14/5255.aspx and http://www.softwarepassion.com/?p=89 but still having no luck.

The log file in C:\Program Files\CruiseControl.NET\server\Checkin Build\Artifacts\buildlogs contains the unit test results, have I missed any steps?
i made the following changes to get MSTest results output to be shown in CruiseControl.NET
1) For Dashboard - in dashboard.config added a reference to the Mstest 2008 xsl file under buildReportBuildPlugin
<xslFile>xsl\MsTestReport2008.xsl</xslFile>
2) For email - in ccservice.exe.config added the reference to the same xsl file under xslFiles section
<file name="xsl\MsTestSummary2008.xsl"/>
Did you configure your web dashboard with the correct xsl to format the outputs? There are two different versions of the XSL's (Summary and Report) for VSTS 2005 and 2008 as Microsoft changed the XML output drastically between the two versions. The changes were very good, just breaking changes.
For the Dashboard, I think you need to add the MSTest Summary in the xlsFiles, but add the MSTest Report build report plugin. That is,
<buildReportBuildPlugin>
<xslFileNames>
<xslFile>xsl\MsTestSummary2008.xsl</xslFile>
</xslFileNames>
</buildReportBuildPlugin>
<xslReportBuildPlugin description="MSTest Report" actionName="MSTESTReport" xslFileName="xsl\MsTestReport2008.xsl" />
</buildPlugins>
I tried adding MSTestReport on both but it didn't work, but the setting above did. Hope that helps...
I had successfully extracted the compilation log present in my IDE into some one xml file very well. So in order to merge it I had mentioned in my ccnet.config file inside the publisher task using the <merge>
section.
But when I force my build, I am able to get the output.xml file correctly but an
error is thrown in ccnet.config window that it is unable to merge as this file is currently used by some other process.
Please see below:
[VSAT:ERROR] Publisher threw
exception:
ThoughtWorks.CruiseControl.Core.CruiseC
ontrolException: Unable to read the
contents of the file: C:

System.IO.IOException: The process

artition\output.xml' because it is

Can you suggest any method by which merging can be done successfully?
I have pasted the whole ccnet.config file below.

Some ideas:
Eliminate other obvious applications that would be writing to that file: other CCNet projects, other CCNet instances (e.g. are you maybe running the service and something from the command line?), or perhaps your source control.
If you're not attached to NAnt, try MSBuild and see if you get the same error. If all you're doing is compiling, you can pass the .sln or .csproj as a parameter directly to MSBuild.
Make sure you're on the latest version of CCNet - they regularly publish what I would consider fairly major bug fixes regularly.
What is says: the question is which process has open your xml while CC.net is trying to merge -- perhaps Process Explorer could be useful? Perhaps it works if you copy the xml output to a separate file and merge that.
