RE: [Nant-users] Getting Code from VSS via NAnt

Title: Message
All,
 
What about versioning the assembly?  We use the standard Major, Minor, Build, Revision.  Is there a standard means of doing this, or one that is common?
 
Thanks,

Yes there is, but it's in the NAnt Contrib rather than the core (more info on NAntContrib can be found at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/nantcontrib )
 
 
Will fill you in on the <vssget> command,
 
 
Will show you all tasks available in the NAnt Contrib (there are a load of other SourceSafe ones).
 
As for the get task - I typically have it in a separate target (<cvsUpdate> seeing as we're using CVS here) which is called before the build target. As I divide each of the clean, build, deploy and test targets up into their own scripts (each containing a whole pile of their own targets), that means it goes in the build target (as you would look at it).
 
Hope that helps :)

Hi all,
 
Is there support for VSS or do I need to call the <exec> task to run a batch file?
 
Is there a better way to get the latest from VSS?  Also, which target does this task really belong in?  I have the following targets now...
 
clean - Deletes all files from the bin directory and recopies the dll's from a given reference directory
build - Compiles the code and outputs the resultant dll to the bin directory
package - zips up all the necessary files for the web app to be copied to the destination directory
install - copies the zip over to the install directory and unzips
 
I know I need a test target but I'm building my way to that as I am new to NAnt. Is it standard practice to put the source code extraction in one of the existing targets or it's own target?
 
Thanks,
