Gert, I just want to summarize what you have said so we can figure out where things stand a bit better.
The unit tests for the cvs task are failing on the nant build server. This is a build server that is seperate from the one I set up. The failures have been occurring in the nightly builds since 06/21/2003. I know that since that date I have not had longer than an hour downtime (2 reboots) on the cvs server, so I would say with about 90% confidence that this is not the problem. You mentioned that you have not had many problems with the tests. I am making the assumption that this means that they are working on your machine now. Can you confirm this? I confirmed on my own machine that the tests were working this morning, however I did NOT test from the nant build script because I found additional issues with the build (filed as bugs via sf.net, included command line debug info). I do not know anything about the build server results you are comparing against (just found out there was another server going today (-:), or how the sources are updated. I know the cc-net server I am running at home has been getting a lot of EOF commands from the sf.net server so my first check would be to see if the sources have been updated since 06/21. I would not like to change the build to account for this problem. There is something wrong and I would rather figure out where the problem is and fix it With any luck we can add some unit tests/ self-tests to make sure we catch it next time :-). So having said all that, could you send me the url of these build reports? Also do we have log files on the integration runs? Can we confirm when the sources were last updated on the server? Is it possible to do a test from this server that is seperate from the nightly build? Anything would help.

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with the tasks or #cvslib, the cvs server that you use for the tests is probable not always available ... To be honest I have very little problems with the cvs tasks testers on my local system myself, so I don't really know what's causing the nightly builds .. And the output in the build log of the nightly builds doesn't help either ... About the issues you encoutered when building NAnt from the commandline: I haven't had any issues with any of these... You can create bug reports for thes e ofcours. Be sure to mention as much information as you can : eg. NAnt version, OS, .NET framework and possible also a stacktrace for issue 3.

I did some work about 2 weeks ago to get these running, which involved pointing the tasks at a different cvs server, rather than the sf.net server. The reason behind that change is the sf.net server seemed to be a little sporadic, with the cvsnt binary, the cygwin binary as well as #cvslib. Just to confirm, I ran the unit tests this morning (SourceControl task tests) using the nunit gui and got the coveted green bar. I have not run the tests outside of my lan, so maybe this is what you mean? If they are failing here I would appreciate a stack trace of where they are failing and I am pretty sure I can patch them up which would be the way I would prefer to fix the problem. I did note the following problems during the nant build that prevented me from testing the sc tasks through the command line/ build script tests: 1) Missing comments on NUnit1 tasks 2) Missing comments on VSNet.Tasks 3) Internal error during the tests (below) Gert, is this what you are seeing too, or are you referring to something else? Ian - Would you like me to add these 3 issues to the sf.net bug report? I know awhile back you mentioned tracking build errors here.

We've been having lots of problems with these unit tests, should we perhaps set the HaltOnError to false for now for these tests ? That we can at least get the nightly build up and running again ...
