Re: [NAnt-users] Function call failed (IMHO bug)

2006-07-05 Thread Giscard Biamby
I would have designed it to return false instead of throwing an exception. I can think of two options: 1. Check the file extension before trying to call is-assembly() 2. Switch to using inline C# code in your nant script for whatever that part of your script is doing, and use a try-catch around

You can write a program that goes through all your projects' .csproj files and removes the value for the PostBuildEvent attribute under the VisualStudioProject-->CSHARP-->Build-->Settings xml node. If you need the ability to re-enable the post build event for when developers are working from the

Re: [NAnt-users] Abbreviation for /buildfile: parameter ?

Is there a single-letter abbreviation for the /buildfile: parameter when calling nant.exe? I think I remember reading this somewhere but can't find anything about this. "Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts." -Albert Einstein _

It looks like in your compilation step the .dll gets compiled to C:\WebGrid\WebGridDynamic\bin\WebGrid_Advanced_Dynamic_Column_Templates_2005V1_VB.dll, but in your "copy" target, you are trying to copy from c:\webgrid\build to c:\webgrid\webdynamic\bin\. Did you mean to copy C:\WebGrid\WebGridDy

The method I use for my vb6 projects is a little different. I will take a look at the thoughworks page to see if some of their vb6 tools could help me. My method only builds the .dll's once. Binary Compatibility: Each vb6 project has a subfolder called "compat". This folder holds the current

Never heard of Harvest before, but does it have a command line interface? If so you can use it from nant with the task. Google "nant task reference " for description of how to use the exec task. --- "Ahmed, Shabana" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi All, > >Has anybody used NAnt as a buil

[NAnt-users] Labeling & how to deal with code check-ins during automated build?

2006-04-13 Thread Giscard Biamby
Flow of my continuous integration process right now is as follows: 1. CC.NET detects change in StarTeam 2. CC.NET calls nant bootstrapper script 3. bootstrapper cleans working dir 4. bootstrapper labels current code in StarTeam with build label from CC.NET 4. bootstrapper checks out current code

I have cruisecontrol hitting a bootstrap buildfile, which deletes my project dir and checks out all the files needed to perform the build (including the project's nant build script) from StarTeam, then calls the .build file that was just checked out. Everything is working fine except for one thin

I just wrote some code that determines the build order for a set of vb6 projects. It also outputs an nant script with a build target that builds in the correct order, and a clean target that unregisters the dll's in reverse build order. So the nant scripts have no build order built in, just passe
