We are running two basic types of builds: Normal and Nightly "Big"
builds. Normal builds on changes to the depot; and doesn't build some
of the really big projects we have. Nightly builds everything; and so
we restrict that to run once a day; starting at 1am.
Our trigger has this block:
<parameterTrigger>
<trigger type="scheduleTrigger" time="01:00"
buildCondition="ForceBuild" name="Nightly post-scorch build" />
<parameters>
<namedValue name="isNightlyBuild" value="yes"/
>
</parameters>
</parameterTrigger>
We also want users, when forcing a build, to have the option of
running a nightly build as well; so we are using parameters for that.
Our project definition has this block:
<parameters>
<selectParameter>
<name>isNightlyBuild</name>
<allowedValues>
<value name="Nightly Big-Build">yes</value>
<value name="Normal Build">no</value>
</allowedValues>
<display>Nightly BIG Build?</display>
<description>removed for brevity...</description>
<default>Normal Build</default>
<required>false</required>
</selectParameter>
</parameters>
To scope what is/is not built we installed the Conditional plugin.
To test what is happening we added this line to the top of our tasks
block:
<!-- Output the build type to the log -->
<conditional description="Log state of isNightlyBuild
flag">
<conditions>
<compareCondition value1="$[isNightlyBuild]"
value2="yes" evaluation="equal" ignoreCase="true"/>
</conditions>
<tasks>
<commentTask message="isNightlybuild is true"/
>
</tasks>
<elseTasks>
<commentTask message="isNightlybuild is false"/
>
</elseTasks>
</conditional>
The problem is that if you start the build with a force, and set
isNightlyBuild to Yes; it works (logs as you would expect); but the
NIGHTLY trigger at 1am does not seem to set this flag correctly.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Andrew
