Re: [NAnt-users] Conditional looping within a NAnt script (is there a while' task?)
Peter, Thanks for replying. One of the reasons I wanted a looping task was that I wanted to repeat the execution of a continuous build process until a fixed time (say 8 o'clock in the evening). In the end, I resorted to using a custom script task as follows:It would have been much nicer to have a dowhile (or while) task, like this: To be honest, once I had the script working, I had other more pressing matters to attend to, so haven't really returned to the problem of implementing a looping task. I hope to return to the script at some point in the next few weeks, so if you're about to have a go at implementing a looping task shortly, I'd be very pleased to know how it turns out. I think it would be far more useful to be able to specify an expression for the loop condition, rather than a simple property. Especially for a while task, where you don't want to have to execute the body of the task in order to define the condition property (thus making the task a dowhile task). Of course, we could resort to something along the following lines, where the section is executed immediately before the evaluation of the test condition: ... [tasks required to determine the loop condition] ... ... [main loop body] ... A task would have the same syntax, but the section would be evaluated after the section. This is beginning to approach the clumsyness of my original task workaround, but I can see how it would be useful if evaluating the loop condition required some complex operation that couldn't be carried out by a single expression alone. I found that the tricky part was being able to assign an expression to the task attribute and not have it evaluated immediately (like a property) but have the evaluation deferred until the task body executes, so that it can be repeatedly evaluated as part of the loop condition. Nant's built in expression syntax makes it far more like a real, useful scripting language than Ant (expressions defined using XML logic and condition elements is just painful to use and is very inflexible), but I think it's a shame that looping constructs aren't available in either NAnt or NAntContrib - ah well... Chris P.S. More random thoughts entering my head - how about a or a task directive that can be embedded in the loop body? -Original Message- From: Peter Lanoie [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 12 October 2006 22:17 To: Chris Lambrou Subject: [NAnt-users] Conditional looping within a NAnt script (is there a while' task?) Chris, Don't know if you ever solved this or not, but I was looking for the same thing. I think what you would want to do is change it so that instead of deriving from the IF task and using its "ConditionsTrue" variable you should derive from TaskContainer. Then add a property name as the property to test each time the while loops. The ExecuteTask code can check that property value internally so it always gets fresh data. ...[other tasks]... private string _strProp; [TaskAttribute("property", Required=true)] public string Property { get { return _strProp; } set { _strProp = value; if (Properties.IsReadOnlyProperty(_strProp)) { throw new BuildException("Property is readonly! :" + _strProp, Location); } } } [TaskName("while")] public class WhileTask : TaskContainer { protected override void ExecuteTask() { //while test will continually test the live value of the property while (Properties[_strProp]) { base.ExecuteTask(); } } } I'll venture a guess that 'ConditionsTrue' might be something you'd want to put an expression into instead of just a property value. In that case you can still use what I suggested, you just have to put the expression in the value attribute of a standard property tag inside the while tasks inner tasks. ...[other tasks]... Let me know what you ended up doing or if this works for you. I'm going to be implementing it tomorrow myself. Peter - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

Re: [NAnt-users] Conditional looping within a NAnt script (is there a while' task?)
Gary, If I was starting from scratch, I almost certainly would do - I've had good experience with CruiseControl in the past. I had a look at converting our current build script to work with CruiseControl.NET, but we decided that our current build script already provides most of what CruiseControl.NET would give us, so it's not worth the effort at this point. The only problem with our current build process is that we rely on a Windows Scheduled task to kick off a continuous build every 2 hours. Our full build process lasts just over an hour, so there's a lot of idle time between builds (and if a build fails prematurely, there's even more idle time). All I'm trying to do is to force the next build to be carried out as soon as the previous one has completed, however long that takes. I'm basically trying to run the build process repeatedly until the current time reaches 8 o'clock in the evening, hence my need for a while task (i.e. do build while current_time < 20:00). I also need a while task for a few things other than kicking off a continuous build, such as repeatedly trying to acquire a lock file.

The process cannot access the file 'C:\Documents and Settings\x\Local Settings\Temp\tmp17A.tmp' because it is being used by another process. Now I know what is causing the issue sometimes. It often times is either the AntiVirus protection software or ProcessExplorer by sysinternals, but sometimes it happens even when I disable the above.

I was just curious about it because sometimes I have to rebuild a few times before it builds all the way through so I thought I would just ask about it. Or is it possible to change that type of error to return as a warning instead of a error that could cause the build to fail as it doesn't really mean that it failed to build but that it failed to clean up.

Re: [NAnt-users] NAnt-users Digest, Vol 5, Issue 10
To be honest, that all depends what "deploy" means. Nant can already copy files, shut down/restart services, modify xml files, etc. None of those tasks are limited to being done on the local machine, unless the service account you're running CruiseControl under doesn't have enough rights to the remote test server. In our case, the Nant script generates a packaged install executable. I've created custom tasks which would copy the exe to the remote machine and then tell the remote machine to run the exe to perform the install. The package had to support silent install, of course. --- Message: 5 Date: Fri, 13 Oct 2006 10:40:46 -0700 (PDT) From: mandar ambre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [NAnt-users] deploying to remote server using NAnt To: nant-users@lists.sourceforge.net Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Hi Guys, Is anybody aware of how to deploy to a remote test server using NAnt or any other automation tool.We are currently using NAnt and CruiseControl to create daily builds on a build server and then we copy these builds over to the test server.But I wanted to know if there was a way to automate this process as well.Any help is much appreciated.Thanks in advance Regards, Mandar - Using Tomcat but need to do more?
