RE: [Nant-users] I'm unable to exec devenv using the task

Hmm. Thanks for that. I wasn't using the basedir attribute. I'll have to try it tomorrow morning. This is for an automated build which I don't want to disrupt until then.

 

That makes sense to me. I should have RTFMed a bit better.

 

Also, thanks everyone for your interest. If I continue to have trouble I'll post the exact error message I'm getting after trying it tomorrow. That batch file is working for now.

 

Regards,

Dustin Aleksiuk

Subject: RE: [Nant-users] I'm unable to exec devenv using the <exec> task

I use the basedir attribute of the <exec> task to specify the full path of the devenv.com executable.

Here's how I do it...

     <property name="VS.devenv.path" value="C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Common7\IDE" />
     <property name="devenv.command" value="/build"/>
     <property name="project.config" value="debug"/>
     <property name="build.workdir" value="${project::get-base-directory()}"/>

 <target name="MyApp" depends="" >
        <exec program="devenv.com"
               basedir="${VS.devenv.path}"
               workingdir="${build.workdir}"
               commandline='${target::get-current-target()}.vcproj ${devenv.command} "${project.config}" '/>
    </target>

Subject: [Nant-users] I'm unable to exec devenv using the <exec> task

Hello,

I'm trying to exec devenv.exe using the exec task. I know that there is a <solution> task, but it throws up errors that I don't get when building straight from devenv.exe. We've decided that we want to run from devenv.exe to make sure our CruiseControl build is totally consistent with our Visual Studio build.

I hope that makes sense.

Here's the exact problem: I don't know how to get the following path to run:

D:\APPS\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe

The issue is with the "Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003" part of the path. I get an "Illegal characters in path" error message. I've tried escaping it in different ways and replacing it with Micros~3, but I get the same error no matter what. Actually, the Micros~3 gives a different error, but I think that the command window is choking on the same invalid characters, because "Micros~1" and "Micros~2" work fine.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Dustin Aleksiuk
