(Sent this to the admin mail id by mistake) Ok this seems a bit like armtwisting - if you do this, then you can't do that. But after 2 days of broken builds, anything to see green :)
I removed the outputDir attribute and am almost near completion, there Green CCTray icon!

If you do not set the "outputdir", then the behaviour of NAnt should match that of VS.NET.

I knew that it's the right thing to do. But I'm the only one on the team here to try NAnt. All the others (2 teams across the earth) use the IDE to build. That means that the file copy proc should run even in that case. Hence the post-build event. I'm just trying to take the path of least resistance :) Jokes apart, I don't see why NAnt can't handle this (I am shortsighted:) since the IDE build works I am assuming that NAnt needs a change. Just prior to running the PostBuild batch, change the directory to the project's bin\debug output dir. Switch back if necessary. Currently it seems to be in the solution task's outputdir attribute. The file being copied is a tlb file (Register Com Interop = true in proj settings), generated when the project is built. However this file is not copied along with the binaries to the configured project output dir for some reason.

I don't like them as they are opaque to the build process, especially when run within NAnt. I always write targets in any NAnt build scripts to handle this sort of post build processing. Reasons are: - it's a lot easier to manage, - you can see what will be done by reading the build file and only the build file, - tracing errors becomes easier as there is now only one point of failure (the NAnt script). I know this doesn't really answer your question, but I thought it worth bringing up as a potential discussion point.

The problem seems to be this. I have a simple copy command which copies a tlb (auto-generated) from the proj output folder to the common binaries folder. This is specified as a post-build event in the C# project file. When I build from the IDE everything is fine. Now in the case of my Nant-build file, it blows up saying source file for copy not found. The problem turned out to be different current folders in each case (I added a cd command at the top). IDE Build - Post-build event default path/current folder E:\CGC\RootBuild\Src\DA\GCDA\bin\Debug Nant build - Post-build event default path/current folder E:\GC\RootBuild\bin\debug - which is the common output folder for my binaries <solution configuration="${BuildConfig}" solutionfile="${SolutionFilePath}" verbose="false" outputdir="${OutputDir}"> ^^^^^^^^^^ Any tips will help me get by CI server up and running :) Thanks, Gishu Pillai ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Power Architecture Resource Center: Free content, downloads, discussions, and more. http://solutions.newsforge.com/ibmarch.tmpl _______________________________________________ Nant-users mailing list Nant-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nant-users
