OK, so I readily concede that I'm a newbie when it comes to continuous integration. That being said, I'm trying to set up a CC.NET environment to educate myself, but I'm having trouble finding the information I need to get the automated build portion set up. As I understand it, in C# the .csproj file produced by VS 2005 and forward is a valid MSBuild file. To wit, I've been able to integrate the MSBuild task into CC.NET using the .csproj file, but I have a few issues with this: There's a lot going on in here that I'm not sure I really need in an automated build environment. I didn't create

I realise that there are many older questions addressing the general question of NUnit v MSTest for versions of Visual Studio up to 2008 (such as this one ). Microsoft have a history of getting things right in their 3rd version. For MSTest, that is VS2010. Have they done so with MSTest ? Would you use it in a new project in preference to NUnit? My specific concerns: speed running tests within CruiseControl.NET (either commandline or MSBuild task) code coverage reports from CC.NET can you run MSTest tests in debug mode (We use ReSharper, so test-runners are not an issue for us. We have used

I would like to gauge what solutions other people put in place to get Team System functionality. We all know that Team System can be pricey for some of us. I know they offer a small team edition with five licenses with a MSDN subscription, but what if your team is bigger than five or you don't want to use Team System? I'm stunned that nobody has mentioned the free and excellent TeamCity product from JetBrains. It includes: Continous Integration Software Build management Project Management, Monitoring and Statistical Reports Integration with many IDEs, Sourcecode control systems, and Testing

I am very much new to the Continous Integration. Could anyone please let me know whether we could build a website using MSbuild? You can build a Web Site project using the AspNetCompiler MSBuild task. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms164291.aspx Your MSBuild file might look something like this: <Project xmlns = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003" DefaultTargets = "PrecompileWeb"> <Target Name = "PrecompileWeb"> <AspNetCompiler VirtualPath = "DeployTemp" PhysicalPath = "C:\ccnet\myProject\WebSite" TargetPath = "C:\ccnet\myProject\PreCompiled" Force = "true" Debug =

Is there an API I can use with Cruise Control .NET (ccnet) to query the server, for example to get the status of various builds? I have noticed that there are a few options in the ccnet tray application for connecting but I cannot find any documentation of the service API or examples of how to consume it. There's certainly an API as the Tray application uses it. I've downloaded the code from their SVN repository previously ( NOTE: as per the URL below, it's now hosted on github.com ) to fix a bug (the way the "Last Build Time" column works - which was fixed, but regressed in the 1.5 release),

I am trying to use Windows PowerShell 2.0 to find an installed application. I have tried two methods, one using WMI and one using the Registry. Both methods are able to bring up a large list of installed applications and components, however neither one seems to bring up the application I am interested in. I am specifically looking for CruiseControl.NET. It appears in the list of applications in the Programs and Features control panel applet. I know for a fact that it is currently installed, since I just uninstalled and reinstalled it to start fresh. Neither of the following methods seem to

We are running Cruise Control 1.5.7256.1 and using it to do builds using Nant and Nantcontrib. The builds are failing and succeeding correctly, but when they fail the related error messages are being shown on the CCNet Build Report page. See image below The build errors can be seen on the View Build Log page, but they aren't making it through to the Build Report page. The build itself is pretty simple, it's just a Nantcontrib msbuild element that builds a .Net 3.5 .sln file. Any ideas? Did you check the dashboard.config file? In this file you can add/delete xsl log parsers in the xslfileNames
