We have a recurring problem at my company with build breaks in our Flex projects. The problem primarily occurs because the build that the developers do on their local machines is fundamentally different from the build that occurs on the build machine. The devs are building the projects using FlexBuilder/eclipse and the build machine is using the command line compilers. Inevitably, the {projectname}-config.xml and/or the batch file that runs the build get out of sync with the project files used by eclipse, so the the build succeeds on the dev's machine, but fails on the build machine. We

is it possible to change the connection string in my web.config automatically when build type is release using Nant? if so, how? thanks I think you could use the xmlpoke task. For example, if your web.config is <?xml version="1.0"?> <configuration> <connectionStrings> <add name="myDb" connectionString="blah" providerName="blah"/> </connectionStrings> </configuration> Then you could add a task to your build file like this. <xmlpoke file="path_to_your_web_root\Web.config" xpath="/configuration/connectionStrings/add[@name='myDb']/@connectionString" value="your_connection_string" /> Oh, here is

I would like to modify the string in a .h file with NAnt before building the solution. There is a macro in .h file: #define SERVER_ADDRESS "www.customserver.net" and I would like to modify the string before deploying software so each build could be made for custom address by passing the address in command line. Does anyone know how this could be done? Thanks! One could use the loadfile task to help with this. This task loads the given file into a property. What is really useful is when you apply a filterchain with replacetokens to replace certain areas of the file. For example if one were to

I am working on a continuous integration system for both .Net and VB6 applications using Subversion, CruiseControl, NAnt and Ivy. The .Net side of things isn't too much of a problem, but I need a little guidance with the VB6 side of things, more from the 'DLL-hell' side of things! My current set-up is getting all dependent files for my VB6 system, as expected and builds the various projects within ok. BUT... it's using DLLs that are already registered on my PC, and not those within my Lib folder, which is where I am resolving my dependencies from Ivy. I can get around this problem by

I am preparing to use continuous integration for the first time. I will be using Nant for the automated build and testing tasks, and am trying to find the appropriate CI tool to poll the repository and execute the Nant script. I have so far loosely researched the following: Hudson Cruise Control Draco My sense so far is that since most of the work will be done by Nant, Draco would be fine because it is supposed to be easy to install/setup. Cruise Control and Hudson, on the other hand might provide better reporting options. What is the best way to perform Continuous Integration when using Nant
