To be honest, that all depends what "deploy" means. Nant can already copy files, shut down/restart services, modify xml files, etc. None of those tasks are limited to being done on the local machine, unless the service account you're running CruiseControl under doesn't have enough rights to the remote test server.
In our case, the Nant script generates a packaged install executable. I've created custom tasks which would copy the exe to the remote machine and then tell the remote machine to run the exe to perform the install. The package had to support silent install, of course. ------- Message: 5 Date: Fri, 13 Oct 2006 10:40:46 -0700 (PDT) From: mandar ambre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [NAnt-users] deploying to remote server using NAnt To: nant-users@lists.sourceforge.net Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Hi Guys, Is anybody aware of how to deploy to a remote test server using NAnt or any other automation tool.We are currently using NAnt and CruiseControl to create daily builds on a build server and then we copy these builds over to the test server.But I wanted to know if there was a way to automate this process as well.Any help is much appreciated.Thanks in advance Regards, Mandar ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
