[Draconet-users] Question about NAnt integration and compiling C# code

John Sheppard Thu, 09 Dec 2004 08:14:11 -0800

Hi all, I am having a problem getting Draco to run my NAnt build file. The polling and checkout of source works as expected with one caveat. I have to designate an '$' character in front of my VSS path for it to poll and check my solution. I thought I could do a '\x\y\z' type of path but instead I have to do a '$\x\y\z' style path in order for it to work.

Here are the details (specifics changed to protect the innocent).

I have set NAnt to debug to try to get a better handle on the failure. Here are the details of my project config:

 <rootsourcedir>Source</rootsourcedir>
 <pollperiod>600</pollperiod>
 <timeoutperiod>3600</timeoutperiod>
 <quietperiod>60</quietperiod>
 <mailserver>mail.yourdomain.com</mailserver>
 <fromaddress>[EMAIL PROTECTED]</fromaddress>
 <builds>
   <build>
     <alwaysbuild>true</alwaysbuild>
     <name>Tropicos2</name>
     <pollperiod>600</pollperiod>
     <quietperiod>600</quietperiod>
     <timeoutperiod>600</timeoutperiod>
     <notification>
       <file>
         <dir>d:\BuildTools\AutomatedBuilds\Tropicos</dir>
         <create>true</create>
       </file>
     </notification>
     <nant program="D:\BuildTools\nant-0.85-rc1\bin\nant.exe -debug:+">
       <buildfile>master.build</buildfile>
     </nant>
     <vss>
       <project>$/MOBOT/Tropicos2/Tropicos</project>
       <username>username</username>
       <password>password</password>
       <ssdir>\\UNCEncoded path\VSS</ssdir>
     </vss>
   </build>
 </builds>

Notice the path to the build file. When I set this to an absolute path where I was storing my master.build file Draco would do a cd /d into that directory then run the nant.exe with the correct parameters passed. NAnt would fail because it couldn't find my solution file in the directory that draco had cd'd into. So I changed my build file to be included in my solution files and when my project is checked out the build file is checked out into the base directory of my solution. My solution is three levels deep in my source safe structure so my project is checked out as follows:

D:\BuildTools\Draco.NET Service\Source\ProjectName-TempID\Path to my source safe project (in this case '$\MOBOT\Tropicos2\Tropicos'. This is where the directory structure for the project is created with both the solution file and build file at this level. I am thinking all is as it should be. VSS checks all the files out, builds the directory structure then NAnt is called and here is where it is throwing an error. The error is: 'The given path's format is not supported.'. I assumed that it would 'cd /d' into the root directory for my solution and try to find the build file there and run it. This evedently is not the case. Any help that you may be able to give would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

John Sheppard


The specific error I get is:

ERROR Draco.Core.Runtime.BuildRunner - Failed to process build 'Tropicos2'. The following exception occurred: System.NotSupportedException: The given path's format is not supported. at System.Security.Util.StringExpressionSet.CanonicalizePath(String path, Boolean needFullPath) at System.Security.Util.StringExpressionSet.AddExpressions(String[] str, Boolean checkForDuplicates, Boolean needFullPath) at System.Security.Permissions.FileIOPermission.AddPathList(FileIOPermissionAccess access, String[] pathListOrig, Boolean checkForDuplicates, Boolean needFullPath, Boolean copyPathList) at System.Security.Permissions.FileIOPermission..ctor(FileIOPermissionAccess access, String[] pathList, Boolean checkForDuplicates, Boolean needFullPath) at System.IO.Path.GetFullPath(String path) at Draco.Core.Tool.NAntBuildTool.Execute(String baseDirectory) at Draco.Core.Runtime.BuildRunner.BuildModule(BuildResult results) at Draco.Core.Runtime.BuildRunner.Start(BuildType buildType) Exception: System.NotSupportedException Message: The given path's format is not supported.
