CruiseControl.Net Deleted Files - cruisecontrol.net

I'm using CC.net on against a Source Safe database, and have a problem that someone deleted some files from the database, and the deleted files weren't removed. I didn't see a config switch or anything that I could set for it to clear the code directory prior to building.
Am I missing something?

As Alex says there is a CleanCopy flag in the source code block. However, my situation was a little different. I use subversion and I found the CleanCopy flag was NOT doing what it said it would on the box.
To solve the problem I added a task which runs a batch file that clears out the build's working copy prior to checkout. It is a bit slower (about 1 min for code base of 400Mb) but guarantees no old code.
Kindness,
Dan

All you need to do is set CleanCopy to true in your source control block. The documentation is very clear on this. The above answer is the wrong way.

How to solve the problem of using Clean... in P4V but calling Reconcile -n preview result and causing exclusive lock file cannot be cleaned

As mentioned in the question, I often encounter the situation shown in the picture below:
Problems demonstrate
I'm using the Clean... directive here, not the Reconcile Offline Work...directive
Clean...
This bug was fixed in the server in release 2016.2:
https://www.perforce.com/perforce/doc.current/user/relnotes.txt
#1382996 (Job #74886, #86396) **
'p4 clean' would fail to sync files when needed when they
are exclusively opened by another client. This has been
fixed.
Double check that you're on release 2016.2+ of the server; if you are, you should be at the very least be able to use p4 clean as a workaround (e.g. by adding it as a custom tool to P4V).

Understanding how libzip works

I have started working with the libzip library today. But I do not understand the principle how libzip works.
My focus is on zipping a directory with all the files and dirs within
into a zip-file.
Therefore, I started with zip_open(), then I read the directory
contents and add all the dirs with zip_dir_add() to the archive.
After that, I closed the zip-file with zip_close(). Everything was
fine. The next step should be to add all the files to the archive with
zip_file_add(). But it doesn't work. The last step closing the file
fails.
OK, I forgot to create a zip_source to get this done. I added a
statement a line before to get this source (zip_source_file()). But
still it doesn't work.
What is wrong in my thinking? Do I have to fopen() and fclose() the file on the filesystem also?
And what is the difference between zip_source_file() and zip_source_filep()?
Do I have to fopen() and fclose() the file on the filesystem also?
No, you can just use zip_source_file().
From your comments I think you have the right general idea, but there is probably some detail that is making it fail. Make sure you perform all the error checking the documentation suggests after each libzip call so you can get more information about what is causing it to fail.
You could also compare your code with https://gist.github.com/clalancette/bb5069a09c609e2d33c9858fcc6e170e

sync two vobs file (by clearfsimport) without checking in the updated file

I am using following command to sync B vob files from A vob
clearfsimport -master -follow -nsetevent -comment $2 /vobs/A/xxx/*.h /vobs/B/xxx/
It works fine. But it will check in all the changes automatically. Is there a way to do the same task but leave the update files in a check out status?
I want to update the file for B from A. Build my programme, and then re-cover the branch. So if the updated files is an check out status, I can do unco later. Well with my command before, everything is checked in. I cann't re-cover my branch then.
Thanks.
As VonC said, it's impossible to prevent "clearfsimport" to do the check in. And he suggested to use a label to recover back.
For me, the branch where I did "clearfsimport" is branched from a label.Let's call it LABEL_01. So I guess I can use that label for recovery. Is there an easy way (one command) to recover the files under /vobs/B/xxx/ to label LABEL_01 ? I want to do it in my bash script, so the less/easy the command is, the better.
Thanks.
After having a look at the man page for clearfsimport, no, it isn't possible to prevent the checkins.
I would set a label before the clearfsimport, and modify the config spec for the new version to be created in a branch (similar to this config spec).
That way, "re-cover" the initial branch would be easy: none of the new version would have been created in it.

Runtime error R6034 in embedded Python application

I am working on an application which uses Boost.Python to embed the Python interpreter. This is used to run user-generated "scripts" which interact with the main program.
Unfortunately, one user is reporting runtime error R6034 when he tries to run a script. The main program starts up fine, but I think the problem may be occurring when python27.dll is loaded.
I am using Visual Studio 2005, Python 2.7, and Boost.Python 1.46.1. The problem occurs only on one user's machine. I've dealt with manifest issues before, and managed to resolve them, but in this case I'm at a bit of a loss.
Has anyone else run into a similar problem? Were you able to solve it? How?
The problem was caused by third-party software that had added itself to the path and installed msvcr90.dll in its program folder. In this case, the problem was caused by Intel's iCLS Client.
Here's how to find the problem in similar situations:
Download Process Explorer here.
Start your application and reproduce runtime error R6034.
Start Process Explorer. In the "View" menu go to "Lower Pane View" and choose "DLLs".
In the top pane, locate your application and click on it. The bottom pane should show a list of DLLS loaded for your application.
Locate "msvcr??.dll" in the list. There should be several. Look for the one that is not in the "winsxs" folder, and make a note of it.
Now, check the path just before your application runs. If it includes the folder you noted in step 5, you've probably found the culprit.
How to fix the problem? You'll have to remove the offending entry from the path before running your program. In my case, I don't need anything else in the path, so I wrote a simple batch file that looks like this:
path=
myprogram.exe
That's it. The batch file simply clears the path before my program runs, so that the conflicting runtime DLL is not found.
This post elaborates on #Micheal Cooper and #frmdstryr and gives a better alternative than my earlier answer.
You can put the following in front of a python script to purge the problematic entries.
import os, re
path = os.environ['PATH'].split(';')
def is_problem(folder):
try:
for item in os.listdir(folder):
if re.match(r'msvcr\d\d\.dll', item):
return True
except:
pass
return False
path = [folder for folder in path if not is_problem(folder)]
os.environ['PATH'] = ';'.join(path)
For the vim with YouCompleteMe case, you can put the following at the top of your vimrc:
python << EOF
import os, re
path = os.environ['PATH'].split(';')
def is_problem(folder):
try:
for item in os.listdir(folder):
if re.match(r'msvcr\d\d\.dll', item):
return True
except:
pass
return False
path = [folder for folder in path if not is_problem(folder)]
os.environ['PATH'] = ';'.join(path)
EOF
A more general solution is:
import os
os.environ['path'] = ";".join(
[path for path in os.environ['path'].split(";")
if "msvcr90.dll" not in map((lambda x:x.lower()), os.listdir(path))])
(I had the same problem with VanDyke SecureCRT)
(This might be better as a comment than a full answer, but my dusty SO acct. doesn't yet have enough rep for that.)
Like the OP I was also using an embedded Python 2.7 and some other native assemblies.
Complicating this nicely was the fact that my application was a med-large .Net solution running on top of 64-Bit IIS Express (VS2013).
I tried Dependency Walker (great program, but too out of date to help with this), and Process Monitor (ProcMon -- which probably did find some hints, but even though I was using filters the problems were buried in thousands of unrelated operations, better filters may have helped).
However, MANY THANKS to Michael Cooper! Your steps and Process Explorer (procexp) got me quickly to a solution that had been dodging me all day.
I can add a couple of notes to Michael's excellent post.
I ignored (i.e. left unchanged) not just the \WinSxS\... folder but also the \System32\... folder.
Ultimately I found msvcr90.dll being pulled in from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\OpenCL SDK\2.0\bin\x64
Going through my Path I found the above and another, similar directory which seemed to contain 32-bit versions. I removed both of these, restarted and... STILL had the problem.
So, I followed Michael's steps once more, and, discovered another msvcr90.dll was now being loaded from:
C:\Program Files\Intel\iCLS Client\
Going through my Path again, I found the above and an (x86) version of this directory as well. So, I removed both of those, applied the changes, restarted VS2013 and...
No more R6034 Error!
I can't help but feel frustrated with Intel for doing this. I had actually found elsewhere online a tip about removing iCLS Client from the Path. I tried that, but the symptom was the same, so, I thought that wasn't the problem. Sadly iCLS Client and OpenCL SDK were tag-teaming my iisexpress. If I was lucky enough to remove either one, the R6034 error remained. I had to excise both of them in order to cure the problem.
Thanks again to Michael Cooper and everyone else for your help!
Using Michael's answer above, I was able to resolve this without a bat file by adding:
import os
# Remove CLS Client from system path
if os.environ['PATH'].find("iCLS Client")>=0:
os.environ['PATH'] = "".join([it for it in os.environ['PATH'].split(";") if not it.find("iCLS Client")>0])
to the main python file of the application. It just makes sure system path didn't include the paths that were causing the issue before the libraries that loaded the dll's were imported.
Thanks!
This post elaborates on #Micheal Cooper and #frmdstryr.
Once you identified the problematic PATH entries, you can put the following in front of a
python script, assuming here that iCLS Client and CMake are problematic.
import os
for forbidden_substring in ['iCLS Client', 'CMake']:
os.environ['PATH'] = ';'.join([item for item in os.environ['PATH'].split(';')
if not item.lower().find(forbidden_substring.lower()) >= 0])
Concerning the vim with YouCompleteMe case, you can put the following at the top of your vimrc:
python << EOF
import os
for forbidden_substring in ['iCLS Client', 'CMake']:
os.environ['PATH'] = ';'.join([item for item in os.environ['PATH'].split(';')
if not item.lower().find(forbidden_substring.lower()) >= 0])
EOF
If none of these solutions is applicable for you, you can try to remove the problem causing
entries from you PATH manually, but you want to make sure you don't break anything else on your
system that depends on these PATH entries. So, for instance, for CMake you could try to remove
its PATH entry, and only put a symlink (or the like) pointing to the cmake.exe binary into some
other directory that is in your PATH, to make sure cmake is still runnable from anywhere.
Thanks for the solution. I just little modified this sample code as the path variable in my system contains the string "ICLS CLIENT" instead of "iCLS Client"
import os
# print os.environ['PATH']
# Remove CLS Client from system path
if os.environ['PATH'].find("iCLS Client") >= 0 or os.environ['PATH'].find("ICLS CLIENT") >= 0:
os.environ['PATH'] = "".join([it for it in os.environ['PATH'].split(";") if not (it.find("iCLS Client")>0 or it.find("ICLS CLIENT")>0)])
I also had the same problem with embedding Python27.dll from a C-program using the Universal-CRT.
A <PYTHON_ROOT>\msvcr90.dll was the offender. And <PYTHON_ROOT> is off-course in my PATH. AFAICS the only users of msvcr90.dll are the PyWin32 modules
<PYTHON_ROOT>\lib\site-packages\win32\win32*.pyd.
The fix was just move <PYTHON_ROOT>\msvcr90.dll to that directory.
PS. PyWin32 still has this as an issue 7 years later!
In my case the rebuilding of linked libraries and the main project with similar "Runtime execution libraries" project setting helped. Hope that will be usefull for anybody.
In my case, I realised the problem was coming when, after compiling the app into an exe file, I would rename that file. So leaving the original name of the exe file doesn't show the error.
The discussion on this page involves doing things way far advanced above me. (I don't code.) Nevertheless, I ran Process Explorer as the recommended diagnostic. I found that another program uses and needs msvcr90.dll in it's program folder. Not understanding anything else being discussed here, as a wild guess I temporarily moved the dll to a neighboring program folder.
Problem solved. End of Runtime error message.
(I moved the dll back when I was finished with the program generating the error message.)
Thank you all for your help and ideas.
Check any library having user specified path by Process Explorer. It is not necessary must be msvcr??.dll
I solved same problem except I run Python 3. Present solutions not helped because they not indicate unusual paths of msvcr90.dll. I debug code step by step inside till error dialog appears after rows (called when my code was importing PyTables module):
import ctypes
ctypes.cdll.LoadLibrary('libbz2.dll')
Then Process Explorer helps to find path to old libbz2.dll caused the problem (steps 3, 4 of #Micheal Cooper algorithm)
Adding this answer for who is still looking for a solution. ESRI released a patch for this error. Just download the patch from their website (no login required), install it and it will solve the problem. I downloaded the patch for 10.4.1 but there are maybe patches for other versions also.

CruiseControl.Net Modification Reader Example?

Does anyone have any example of how to use modification reader task?
Ok, I use this over XML:
<modificationReader>
<filename>mods.xml</filename>
<path>path/to/my/file/</path>
</modificationReader>
then, what? How do I get the information in "mods.xml" and use it?
Thanks
This appears to be used with the modificationWriter task which writes the modifications to a file (in the artifact directory by default).
http://build.sharpdevelop.net/ccnet/doc/CCNET/Modification%20Writer%20Task.html
If you're just trying to read in the modifications in to a different projects' buildLog, the above - with a path to the first project - should be sufficient.
Are you trying to do something different?
