The ccnet.config is very large with about 50 projects and I just looked at
the Windows Application logs and it is reporting on pretty much each one of
them the same error as follows:
*2011-09-20 13:46:28,969 [DEV3_zh-cn_LIBRARY-PPPPPP] ERROR CruiseControl.NET
[(null)] - INTERNAL ERROR: Request processing has failed on the remote
server:*
*Index and length must refer to a location within the string.*
*Parameter name: length*
*----------*
*ThoughtWorks.CruiseControl.Remote.CommunicationsException: Request
processing has failed on the remote server:*
*Index and length must refer to a location within the string.*
*Parameter name: length*
*at
ThoughtWorks.CruiseControl.Remote.CruiseServerClient.ValidateResponse(Response
response)*
All of these projects work just fine on *CCnet v1.5* on our *Primary Build
Server* running *Windows Server 2008 R2*. What I did was *removed the SVN
Source Control Block with a new VSTS Source Control Block* as we want to
pull source elements from *TFS-2010 through Cruise Control *for our first
phase of a 3 part project deployment. This is often done in this manner with
these large Enterprise clients as the requirement to get them on a *Best in
Class SCM solution* for version control (instead of SVN) and a good ALM
(Scrum) is important now! Working on these 50 projects has already started
so we can take what is now one large TFS-2010 Porject and break it down the
right way and then build with TFS including mostly using CI under TFS
control. *For this first phase it is via CCnet v1.6 as the VSTS SCB does
NOTwork on v1.5!
*
This required me to do this model work on my work PC which is no Server 2008
R2 box but my model worked and the v1.6 Dashboard showed the 1 project I was
testing with and all was well. I then updated the entire ccnet.config file
which is only the SVN to VSTS replacement and ran it through the Cruise
Control Validator tool on my PC and all was well! *I just cannot get these
50 projects to come up like they do (without the VSTS change of course) on
my PC!*
You can see the above WIndows errors which is the same for all the projects
and not only is the ccnet.config file huge...I cannot just send it to you or
display it here for security reasons. It would take me too long to 'scrub'
the text. I can show you below what they all pretty much look like: below is
two projects but the structure is really pretty much the same

*------> cut end*
*To close I would note that the 1 test project would display with the v1.6
Dashboard with no issue!* Only when I updated ALL the projects did the same
dashboard start to fail. I know it must be something simple and I would love
to resolve this now. I will soon get a new robust Build Server for TFS-2010
that we plan to deploy this same CCnet v1.6 and my changes to ccnet.config
for development to still produce buuilds. At the same time I will deploy a
Build Controller on the server as my associates resolve the big issue of
sorting through this one large TFS Project and make sense of creating
seperate TFS Projects and Build scripts via TFS-2010. I need to have the
CCnet v1.6 working first, and I would prefer to have my issue resolved by
this week so I can install on my new server and move on to our Phase II of
this project! I hope with your kind help I can get there. I will not even go
into the dozen other unreleated issues I am working too as I'm sure you have
your own problems!
Thanks in advance....I can be reached on my mobile phone if you want to talk
and can send me an E-mail address to [email protected] which is a
'throw-away E-mail account I use for this gig!
