Why are you running builds against production databases. That seems wrong to 
me. Your CI builds/test should be done against a test and/or staging database 
that doesn't have sensitive data in it.

In other words your "development environment" should include a development only 
DBs.

I am designing a automated compilation script for an Oracle Forms and Reports 
development environment containing numerous databases with associated projects. 
As the username and password for connecting to the databases differs, and 
because of organisational measures in place that require that developers are 
not privy to the username and password for various databases (only DBA's have 
these rights). The ideal solution is:


 *   The DBA runs a force build from CCNet via their browser using the 
WebDashboard.
 *   CCNet calls a NAnt script that prompts them for the username, password and 
database relevant to the files they wish to have automatically compiled and 
deployed (I am already able to achieve this in a NAnt build file using C# 
scripting as outlined in previous post)

However, for some reason CCNet does not execute the NAnt build file as desired 
(outlined in previous post). How can I make CCNet execute the NAnt build file 
so that it correctly runs the embedded C# script that prompts for user input?

Hi Simon,

CCNet is generally used for automated/unattended builds. What is the core 
problem you are trying to solve with this solution, ie, why do you want user 
input during a CCNet build?

How will ccnet accept user input if its running as a service on an unattended 
build server?

Can you store the username, password, an database in a database and have the 
nant script look at that if a console isn't available?

Hi guys,
I have a C# script within my NAnt build file which allows me to accept user 
input from the commandline. A truncutated excerpt of the NAnt build file is:
...
<property name="username"            value="" />
<property name="password"            value="" />
<property name="database"            value="" />
...
<target name="menu">
    <script language="C#" mainclass="GetInput">
      <code>
        <![CDATA[
          class GetInput
          {
            public static void ScriptMain(Project project)
            {
              Console.Clear();
              
Console.WriteLine("===================================================================");
              Console.WriteLine("Welcome to the Compile and Deploy Oracle Forms 
and Reports Facility");
              
Console.WriteLine("===================================================================");
              Console.Write("Please enter username: ");
              project.Properties["username"] = Console.ReadLine();
              Console.WriteLine();
              Console.Write("Please enter password: ");
              project.Properties["password"] = Console.ReadLine();
              Console.WriteLine();
              Console.Write("Please enter database: ");
              project.Properties["database"] = Console.ReadLine();
              Console.WriteLine();
              ...
        ]]>
      </code>
    </script>
  </target>

When I run this build file from the commandline, it works perfectly. However, 
when I call this build file from CCNet it does not work. The only reason for 
this I can think of is that when CCNet calls the NAnt script, it is not sure 
how to pass the C# script calls to the System.Console class to the commandline. 
I'm not sure how to do this though.

I've also been playing around with the idea of the C# script opening a new 
instance of cmd.exe and then trying to execute the remainder of the script. 
From searches on Google, I found the following solution that works as a C# 
class:

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Text;
using System.IO;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using Microsoft.Win32.SafeHandles;
class Program
{
    [DllImport("kernel32.dll",
        EntryPoint = "GetStdHandle",
        SetLastError = true,
        CharSet = CharSet.Auto,
        CallingConvention = CallingConvention.StdCall)]
    private static extern IntPtr GetStdHandle(int nStdHandle);
    [DllImport("kernel32.dll",
        EntryPoint = "AllocConsole",
        SetLastError = true,
        CharSet = CharSet.Auto,
        CallingConvention = CallingConvention.StdCall)]
    private static extern int AllocConsole();
    private const int STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE = -11;
    private const int MY_CODE_PAGE = 437;
    private static string deployment = "\\\\vm-osb-oasd\\sohaan";
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        AllocConsole();
        IntPtr stdHandle = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
        SafeFileHandle safeFileHandle = new SafeFileHandle(stdHandle, true);
        FileStream fileStream = new FileStream(safeFileHandle, 
FileAccess.Write);
        Encoding encoding = System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding(MY_CODE_PAGE);
        StreamWriter standardOutput = new StreamWriter(fileStream, encoding);
        standardOutput.AutoFlush = true;
        Console.SetOut(standardOutput);
        Console.Clear();
        
Console.WriteLine("===================================================================");
        Console.WriteLine("Welcome to the Compile and Deploy Oracle Forms and 
Reports Facility");
        
Console.WriteLine("===================================================================");
        Console.Write("Please enter username: ");
        string username = Console.ReadLine();
        ....
    }
}
This works perfectly in a C# environment. However, I do not know how to embed 
it within a NAnt script correctly...From what I know about NAnt, I may need to 
create an extension, but am uncertain of how to go about this. Can anyone help 
me out?
