Hi, I need to deploy my application to various environments
using a central build server. I have created sample xml that list the files/folders
to be copied in each environment. I want to call this XML file though NAnt and use Nant script
to run copy task based on the folders specific in xml. I am using server
aliases which are also defined in the same xml. Has anyone tried this approach before…what is the best
scripting approach for this type of requirement? I am planning to write a C#
function in NAnt script to read the xml and then use query using XPath. The
first problem I see is how do run all the of copy commands. I looked into <foreach>
task but it does not fit here. I need something like for loop where I can
specify the number of iterations (I can read the number of copy commands using
XPath). Deployment.xml: <?xml version="1.0"
encoding="utf-8"?> <deployment> <environments> <environment
name="dev">
<servers>
<server alias="AppServer" machine="abcdev" />
<server alias="WebServer" machine="xyzdev" />
</servers>
</environment> <environment
name="qa">
<servers>
<server alias="AppServer" machine="abcqa" />
<server alias="WebServer" machine="xyzqa" />
</servers>
</environment> <environment
name="prod">
<servers>
<server alias="AppServer" machine="abcprod" />
<server alias="WebServer" machine="xyzprod" />
</servers>
</environment> </environments> <copycommands> <copy
stopservice="AbcProcessing">
<source>WindowsApp\AbcService\bin\release</source> <destination
machinealias="AppServer">AbcService</destination> </copy> <copy>
<source>WebApp\AbcWeb</source>
<destination
machinealias="WebServer">Inetpub\AbcWeb</destination> </copy> </copycommands> </deployment> I have this simple xml for project teams to specify the copy
commands and then I want to put all the complexities in a common NAnt script. Thanks in advance, |
