RE: [Draconet-users] How do I use dracocli with more than one server?
David, As I understand the client, you must have multiple config files (one per target server) and specify the appropriate config file on the command line, using the /config:file switch. You'll, of course, want to wrap a batch file/shell script around the complexity to eliminate the need to re-key the path to the config every time. ;) I think this limits the ease-of-use of the Draco client in a multiple build server environment... but I just work around it by using the XP Remote Desktop client to r/c the various build servers and just leave those little windows open all the time instead of trying to keep all the admin tasks centralized on my workstation. Being able to specify the target server on the command line would complicate the remoting code, but it would be a snifty feature. C:\Sandbox\dracocli /?

You would need to modify the sourcecode to disable the deletion of
the
files. However, this is a simple step. Take a look at
BuildRunner.BuildModule. Towards the end, there is a piece of code
that
looks like this:
try {
// Clean up our mess.
if (Directory.Exists(sourceDir)) {
Directory.Delete(sourceDir, true);
}
} catch {
// Do nothing.
}
Comment the two Directory referencing lines, and you should find
your
temp
dirs remain intact after build completion.
I am curious, does your build have relative files or absolutes?
What is
the
error you get from Draco?

So I got this working as per James Guerts blog entry, but I am
having
problems with the build.
I know that I have problems with the build with VS if I do not Get
Latest and mark all Writable. And it actually looks like I am
downloading with the files set to writable, but still have
failures
with
the build.
If I run the nant file manually after pulling down the files
through
the
vault, it works great.
Basically I am asking has anyone else had trouble when building
with a
NANT script that normally builds fine?
Is there a way to keep the temp files from deleting so I can try
to
run
the nant script manually from that location?
Thanks!

RE: Problems with NAnt.Solution task [was RE: [Draconet-users] Vault and Draconet?]
Anyone see any issues with this? Yes. How are you going to work around build collisions when the same build is launched within seconds/minutes of each other that result is quasi-parallel builds? Unless there are new features in your custom build which prevents the same build from running multiple times concurrently, this would be a problem in my multi-developer environment. I imagine that the original reason for the uber-clean temporary directory build is to prevent just that sort of overlapping chaos. It was a good start... But since we poll every five (5) minutes, my developers manage to check things into source control *just before* and *just after* a build starts; it must be a God-given talent that many of them have: build clairvoyance. I *really* wish that Draco would only permit a given build to run a single instance at a time. If Build X is already running, subsequent check-ins for Build X should queue up BEHIND it, waiting, and then be built later, once the currently running build/version instance succeeds/fails... The soon-to-be-released feature which limits running builds to N arbitrary total number is a good start (for limiting build server overload), but not exactly what I would want, because it would still allow Build X to be running N times (blocking out Build Y completely until one of Build X's runs completes). It also still allows for the (remote?) possibility for later check-ins/builds to succeed BEFORE earlier check-ins and then be overwritten by the earlier check-in/build when it finally finishes. Can you say race condition? :) In case you're wondering why this would happen to me a lot, all other things being equal on the build server, it is because many of our builds include deployment of stored procedures to database servers that are actively in use by developers and analysts, which occasionally results in delays/blocking/whatever for some builds but not others. Of course, I could be completely misunderstanding the unnamed soon-to-be-released feature. Please educate me if I'm ignorant (on this or any other topic :). If you do not use Draco to do just-in-time CI builds, but use it only to schedule timed builds that have no risk of overlapping (and provide nifty success/failure notification), then you'll be fine. I may join you in that blissful state some time soon... -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:draconet-users- [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bryan D.

RE: Problems with NAnt.Solution task [was RE: [Draconet-users] Vault and Draconet?]
N. I want CI. Damn. Is it possible to just make draco run on a single thread to solve this problem? Not TMK. I'd be happy to learn otherwise. You and I are at the foci of many tangential feature collisions in several otherwise well-designed apps. ;) I love Draco and I love NAnt; I even like Visual Studio .NET 2k3 most of the time -- but all together (for web apps), they no workie so well together. I would still love to know why those wacky M$ developers decided to add all these goofy features for web apps, when all they really need to be is a library project... Most of them seem to be ill-conceived, IMO. If not, what are my options to getting the solution and the nant task synched consistently. Is slingshot still around? Every time someone asks about slingshot/ on the NAnt lists, they are informed that it is deprecated, unsupported and the hapless user should download the latest nightly build or current version from CVS and try out the solution/ task instead. :| A little script/ task to do find/replace in the project file(s) to substitute Web for Local, and in the solution file http://; for String.Empty and / for \ may work better for you than it did for me...? And maybe the solution/ task will even eat the resulting munged *.csproj and *.sln files without further complaint as containing relative paths? And maybe there really is a Santa Claus? Doing this with CSC really isn't so bad, so long as the solution maintainer(s) remember that they *must* update the build script every time they add/remove references. How often does that kind of references update really occur for you? [Just sharing my experiences trying to do the same thing. Like you I *really* wish that both developers and CI could build from exactly the same files without change or hokey-pokey...] --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!

RE: Problems with NAnt.Solution task [was RE: [Draconet-users] Vault and Draconet?]
Hehe, well I just posted on the nant list about relative paths in
webmap. This is the most obvious solution and maybe I'll look at the
nant source for this task and see what I can do.
Good luck. I'll watch the fireworks with interest. There are some
smarter people than I on that list, so perhaps they can imagine a
solution that I can't at the moment.
By the way what script were you referring to?
Basically the solution file has to converted from
http://localhost/mayapp to myapp/myapp.vbproj or whatever then the
proj file changed from web to local and I think that is it.
Yes. Something like the following script/ task is what I used before,
and the output worked for me using DEVENV.EXE (I don't have immediate
access to the project history at the moment, but I'll look for it later
if you have trouble):
script language=C#code![CDATA[
public static void ScriptMain( Project project )
{
// UNDONE: Replace the pseudo code below with working C#.
/*
* I like to test in a console app or using NUnit on an assembly
first,
* because, like all good PHBs, I'm terribly Intellisense dependent.
;)
*/
// 1. Read the solution file into a variable, using whichever
System.IO
//class you like best.
// 2. Replace http://; with String.Empty and / with \.
// 3. Overwrite the solution file with the munged version.
// 4. Read each project file into a variable, using whichever
System.IO
//class you like best.
// 5. Replace Web with Local.
// 6. Overwrite each project file with the munged version.
// ?. Use the solution task to build the converted solution/projects
and
//hope for the best. (I didn't do this, I used exec/ to call
//DEVENV.EXE.
}
]]/code/script
The only reason I didn't continue doing this was because calling
DEVENV.EXE with exec/ was grossly lacking in helpfulness when a build
failed... It only reported a build failure (which was the obvious
part), but not why specifically...
By the way I think webprojects (loaded via http) are history in
Whidbey.
Amen, brother! Go tell it on the mountain.

RE: Problems with NAnt.Solution task [was RE: [Draconet-users] Vault and Draconet?]
Curiously enough I think that a relative path is working. I kinda took it for granted that it did not from the comments here and the other posting. Felicitations. I have another question though. Why would code such as this build on VS.Net then fail on the draco nant build: For i As Integer = 0 To value.Count - 1 If I declare the integer first it works in draco. No idea, since I don't use VB.NET, but NAnt solution/ may not be importing all the same things that VS.NET does... It does seem to me that because the NAnt crew are all native C# developers, the VB support is usually a little more fragile than it might otherwise be. I vaguely recall some reports of bugs with the vbc/ task... What's the exact compiler error? --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!

RE: [Draconet-users] Question about NAnt integration and compiling C# code
-Original Message- [snip] Anyone have any ideas on how to get around this. When I build I need to register and unregister on my development machine but it is not absolutely necessary on the continious integration machine although . It doesn't have a problem with the 'ProjectDir', 'OutDir' or 'TargetPath' macros. I'm not for sure how to approach this. I can delete the pre and post build event and just run the bat files manually but I really don't want to do that because I'm lazy. :) [snip] The SolutionTask is one of my hobby horses. It's been broken since the day before they invented it. I don't use it; I won't use it. insert me doing my best impression of the Frenchman from Monty Python's Quest for the Holy Grail in the direction of SolutionTask. Elderberries and all. / In the unlikely event that me doing Monty Python doesn't cause you to Run away! Run away! from the SolutionTask, I'll tell you that I use CscTask to compile all of our assemblies and maintain a very simple inclusion list of source as part of each build script, etc. Here's why: In a spurt of optimism about six months ago, I briefly experimented with using xsl and simple string operations to manipulate the sln and csproj files so that the wacky SolutionTask would work on them as Local projects instead of Web projects, because SolutionTask was horribly broken with respect to Web projects. I then decided that it was easier to just convert them all to Local projects instead of Web projects 100% of the time instead... Which is how we develop our web apps now; much nicer than before, so some good did come of it. But then something else in SolutionTask broke for me which is too painful to recall, and I gave up again on the SolutionTask... [Don't even think about trying to use ExecTask to call devenv.exe directly. That's even worse than trying to use SolutionTask, if you can believe it.] The SolutionTask is the one reason that I'm looking forward to MSBuild. Because SolutionTask offends me. ;) NAnt with CscTask does me just fine right now, but I find the whole exercise of trying to reinvent devenv.exe to be wasteful, counterproductive and well, nevermind - I'll keep it professional. :) Of course, I'm emotionally preparing myself to be woefully disappointed by MSBuild (as with any version 1 M$ product). Here are some options. You could: 1. Dive into the NAnt code and implement the unimplemented macro. 2. Strip the offending line(s) out at run time (what effect this will have on build success, I don't know). 3. Switch to using csc to build your assemblies. 4. Ask the NAnt developers to hurry up already. :P In the event that this post wasn't helpful, at least you have my sympathies. And I feel better. I may not even need that extra therapy session this week. Heh. --- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
