We use Jenkins (Hudson) / ANT for builds which makes them a single click
process in Eclipse for both dev and staging environments.  

Works great and is a real time saver.  I didn't set it up but I have worked
on ANT to automate our new client set ups and that was very straight
forward.  (Fill out a simple form, click "Build" and an entire instance is
set up - the code, the database, the IIS integration and the CF DSN).

Subject: [houcfug] moving files from one environment to another

 

hey guys,

For my company, we have 5 developers and we all work remotely. Due to some
server relocations and corporate buyouts, our process of moving files from
local to test and then to prod has gotten way screwed up.  I am trying to
take a step back and re-evaluate everything and see if there is a better
way.

Each developer does work locally, but our code is in a subversion repository
on our corporate domain.  We update, make changes and commit as usual.  Our
test server and the repo are not on the same domain, so we can't push files
from the repo to the test server on commit (this is how we used to do it).
We currently have to remote desktop to our test server and drag files over.
Its slow,  and files get missed all the time.  Starting to look at Mylyn
plugin for eclipse.  It keeps track of files for "tasks" so that when a task
is complete, you have a list of all the files changed.  As far as I can tell
though, it would still be a manual process to move files to the test server,
but at least we'd have an accurate file list.

After confirming all changes on test, the same process occurs.  Remote
desktop to production server and drag new files over.  I know, it sucks, but
it is what we are stuck with for the foreseeable future.

Curious as to what others do and if anyone has a recommendation for
something that might improve our flow.   Preferably something that would
integrate with eclipse/subsclipse.   Would ANT scripts work?

Thanks all,

Mark
