[Nant-users] Weird NAnt build failures that go away after an IDE build

[Pillai, Gishu R (GE Energy)]

Hi,

I have been having this problem intermittently. I have a CSharp solution being built on the hour via CC.Net - Now I have this pattern repeating.

 

Someone breaks the build. The CI Server goes into red correctly stating the error. The person now checks in the fix and issues a force build. The source is checked out alright but the build fails again and the errors/ message is recycled on the CCNet dashboard. (Any number of force-builds lead to the same result.) Now I open the solution in the IDE and do a rebuild. The solution builds successfully.

Incorrect reporting...  I end up with egg on my face for starting this CI thing here:) on a more serious note, here's the Nant log from the CC.Net dashboard

 

[copy] Copying 'C:\GC6-Build-India\RootBuild\source\UOM_new\obj\Debug\UOMSystem.dll' to 'C:\GC6-Build-India\RootBuild\Bin\UOMSystem.dll'.
[solution] Build failed.
[solution] Project 'GateCycleMain' failed!
[solution] Continuing build with non-dependent projects.
[solution] Solution failed to build! Failed projects were:
[solution] - GateCycleMain

 

Build Error: NAnt.Core.BuildException
Project build failed.

The line in question here is

<solution configuration="${BuildConfig}" solutionfile="${SolutionFilePath}" verbose="true" >

</solution>
