I'd like to do some action based on modified files. I have such project configuration
<project name="MyProject">
<sourcecontrol type="vsts" autoGetSource="true">
...
</sourcecontrol>
<tasks>
<msbuild>
...
</msbuild>
</tasks>
Is there any way how to put or access the modifications comes from source control in that configured MSBuild task? I cannot see any integration property for this, but I can see modifications in CCNET build log
<cruisecontrol project="MyProject">
<request source="ScheduledTrunk" buildCondition="ForceBuild">...</request>
<modifications>
<modification type="merge">
<filename>MyFile.cs</filename>
<project>$/MyProject/Trunk/Source/</project>
<date>2010-02-23 02:27:40</date>
<user>domain\user</user>
<comment>Some comment</comment>
<changeNumber>79367</changeNumber>
<version>79367</version>
</modification>
</modifications>
<integrationProperties>
...
</integrationProperties>
<build date="..." buildtime="..." buildcondition="...">
<msbuild
startTime="02/23/2010 11:55:52"
elapsedTime="00:00:51" success="true"
>
...
</msbuild>
</cruisecontrol>
Thanks for suggestion!
BTW do you know why the common CCNet documentation pages are down for several days already? And what is the primary discussion forum for CCNET?
You are looking for the Mofification Writer Task. This tasks writes modification details to an XML file, which can easily be evaluated from an MSBuild task.

I've been trying to get an automatic versioning system going for builds (mainly due to external crash analytics picking up each build as the same until I change the version manually). The format is simple, I take the CFBundleShortVersionString from the Info.plist, and append the current date and time (in yyyyMMddmmss format) as subversion.
The task I've put together for this:
<Project>
<Target Name="BeforeBuild">
<XmlPeek XmlInputPath="$(ProjectDir)Info.plist" Query="//dict/key[. = 'CFBundleShortVersionString']/following-sibling::string[1]">
<Output TaskParameter="Result" ItemName="VersionNumber" />
</XmlPeek>
<PropertyGroup>
<BuildNumber>$([System.DateTime]::Now.ToString(yyyyMMddmmss))</BuildNumber>
</PropertyGroup>
<XmlPoke XmlInputPath="$(ProjectDir)Info.plist" Query="//dict/key[. = 'CFBundleVersion']/following-sibling::string[1]" Value="$(VersionNumber).$(BuildNumber)" />
</Target>
</Project>
However it fails with the following error:
Target BeforeBuild:
[...]/[...].csproj(1069,5): error MSB3733: Input file "[...]/Info.plist" cannot be opened. For security reasons DTD is prohibited in this XML document. To enable DTD processing set the DtdProcessing property on XmlReaderSettings to Parse and pass the settings into XmlReader.Create method.
Done building target "BeforeBuild" in project "[...].csproj" -- FAILED.
What am I doing wrong? There's not much info about this error, at least not much that I could find and would help fixing it.
I have two build projects. lets call them project A and project A.pack. When I force build project A it asks me for Boolean parameter if I want to build project A.pack.
But I can't make in publishers block of project A a correct way to force build the project A.pack. I use conditional task but it doesn't work. In log file ccnet writes only that it fails on conditional task. What a usual way to do this in ccnet?
Update:
Sorry for my English. It's not my first language.
What I wanted to do is this:
In project A I added Boolean parameter:
<booleanParameter>
<name>ExampleParam</name>
<true name="Yes">1</true>
<false name="No">0</false>
<display>Example Param</display>
<default>No</default>
<required>false</required>
</booleanParameter>
And added conditional forcebuild in publishers like this:
<publishers>
<!-- some other tasks .. -->
<conditional>
<conditions>
<compareCondition>
<value1>${ExampleParam}</value1>
<value2>1</value2>
<evaluation>equal</evaluation>
</compareCondition>
</conditions>
<tasks>
<forcebuild>
<project>A.pack</project>
<serverUri>tcp://localhost:21235/CruiseManager.rem</serverUri>
</forcebuild>
</tasks>
</conditional>
</publishers>
When I press "force" it asks me for "Example Param", I check "Yes" and when it finishes building dashboard says that build was succesful but ForceBuildPublisher task failed.
There is no information in server log about why force build task failed.
It's CruiseControl.NET-1.6.7
Update 20150808:
I convinced my colleagues to update CCnet. In version 1.8.5 it's possible to do a conditional build like I wrote.
If the boolean parameter is true then write to a file that A.pack watches. A.pack builds if the file gets dirty. See Filesystem Source Control Block for use by A.pack in listening to the file made dirty by A.
I'm having problems simply configuring the server for CruiseControl.NET. I am using the source block that is given by ThoughtWorks to set it up, but I cannot seem to get it to be error-free. I am pretty new to all this and some sort of direction would be fantastic.
Does anyone use this combination?
Do you have a ccnet.config file I can look at?
This is what does not work for me:
<cruisecontrol>
<project name="test">
<sourcecontrol type="clearCase">
<exec>batch file</exec>
<viewPath>path_name</viewPath>
<branch>main</branch>
<autoGetSource>false</autoGetSource>
<useLabel>true</useLabel>
<useBaseline>false</useBaseline>
<projectVobName>vob_name</projectVobName>
<viewName>projecy_name</viewName>
<executable>cleartool.exe</executable>
<timeout>50000</timeout>
</sourcecontrol>
</project>
</cruisecontrol>
Thank you.
I have no direct experience with this kind of setup, but if you are using the <projectVobName> tag, that means:
you are declaring a pvob (project vob used only in UCM to store project, stream, activities and components, all UCM data)
your view (with the root directory referenced in <viewPath>) must be an UCM view.
All the other path elements (like 'executable') should reference an absolute path (and not just "cleartool.exe")
I'm using CruiseControl.NET to run visual studio test cases after my project builds. In the raw xml log I can see it running the test cases and saying which passed and which failed, however on the CruiseControl dashboard all it says is:
9 Projects built with no warnings at all :-)
Juchuu !!!
Here's what my project block looks like:

How do I get the passed/failed test cases to show up on the cruisecontrol dashboard page for that specific build?
Thanks,
Justin
See this article for some tips on how to get MSTest results to appear in CruiseControl.Net:
http://confluence.public.thoughtworks.org/display/CCNET/Using+CruiseControl.NET+with+MSTest
Essentially what you need to do is:
Get MSTest to save its test results to an xml (.trx) file (your raw build output might show test results in a test format, however CruiseControl.net needs the results in xml format)
Get CruiseControl.Net to merge this xml file into your cruise control build log.
Add an extra build report that uses an XSLT to show transform the xml test results into pretty html.
The above article goes into more detail on how to do this, as well as a couple of extra considerations (such as deleting old test results).
Also, I've noticed that you are using Visual Studio 2009 - something that the above article does not emphasis is that when you are setting up your dashboard to shown MSTest results, you need to make sure you use the VS2009 specific xslt in the CruiseControl.Net directroy, as the standard one won't display any results on the dashboard.
We have a CruiseControl.NET Server 1.5.0.4401 running. One project uses an external compiler, which is included via exec-task. This compiler is configured to write its output into a textfile that is located in the artifact directory. The filename is keil_Revision-x.txt (x is the revision number) whereas the configuration for this file looks like %ccnetartifactdirectory%\keil_%ccnetlabel%.txt.
We want this output file to be attached to the e-mail report CC is sending for each build. The configuration of the email-publisher is (a bit shortened) the following:
<email from="buildmaster#xxx.yy" mailhost="zzz" mailport="25" includeDetails="TRUE" useSSL="FALSE">
<users>
<!-- Here are some users -->
</users>
<groups>
<!-- Here are some groups -->
</groups>
<converters>
<!-- LDAP converter-->
</converters>
<modifierNotificationTypes>
<!-- Several notification types -->
</modifierNotificationTypes>
<subjectSettings>
<!-- Here are some subject settings -->
</subjectSettings>
<attachments>
<file>${CCNetArtifactDirectory}\keil_${CCNetLabel}.txt</file>
</attachments>
</email>
The only problem is, that the files are not attached. The debug output on the cruise control console doesn't contain any error message. The artifact directory contains all files, only they are not attached. Where is the failure?
Are Integration Properties like CCNetLabel available inside CCNET configuration? I venture to doubt that. Up to CCNET 1.4.4 SP1 they weren't. So please check the attachment node in Your project configuration to see if CCNetLabel has been resolved properly.
You need to define preprocessor constants that can replace the integration properties like this:
<cruisecontrol xmlns:cb="urn:ccnet.config.builder">
<cb:define project.artifact.dir="C:\foodir" />
<project name="foo">
<artifactDirectory>$(project.artifact.dir)</artifactDirectory>
...
<publishers>
...
<email
from="buildmaster#xxx.yy"
mailhost="zzz"
mailport="25"
includeDetails="TRUE"
useSSL="FALSE">
....
<attachments>
<file>$(project.artifact.dir)\keil.txt</file>
</attachments>
</email>
</publishers>
</project>
</cruisecontrol>
You need to instruct your compiler to write the results to a file whose name is predictable by CCNET configuration. Since configuration has no access to the label it must not be part of the filename. If you want to keep the result files from being overwritten by each build, add an executable task that triggers a simple batch file whose purpose is to copy %ccnetartifactdirectory%\keil.txt to %ccnetartifactdirectory%\keil_%ccnetlabel%.txt.
Otherwise the answer to this question might help here as well.
