nant

I'm new to NAnt and have been able to create a <target> which 1) Deletes any code from the current folder 2) Exports fresh code from SVN 3) Builds the code in the default directory which is the PrecompiledWeb folder (its a web app) Here it is: <target name="export" description="export code from svn"> <delete dir="${Delete.Dir}"></delete> <exec program="svn" commandline="export ${MySVN.Repos} ${MySVN.Dest}" /> <msbuild project="${Solution.Filename}"> <property name="Configuration" value="Release"/> </msbuild> </target> I want to specify a custom output directory (other than "PrecompiledWeb").

Total newbie question. I am trying to run a Nant script on a build server (very basic script, not doing anything), and it's failing with the error System.Security.SecurityException: Request for the permission of type 'System.Security.Permissions.FileIOPermission, mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed. What should I do to get it running? @TK has the answer here, I believe, though it may not be as simple as whether or not nant is running from a network drive. I have had a similar issue as @Aidan. It turns out that I had copied the nantcontrib (v .86)

I have a web application that needs to be built using a nant script. All the projects in the solution build fine but for this error that crops up each time at the end of the build. I couldn't find much useful information on resolving this error. Has anyone encountered and fixed this kind of issue before? Any help would be much appreciated. [exec] ASPNETCOMPILER : error ASPRUNTIME: The target directory is not empty, and does not appear to contain a previously compiled application. Please delete it manually, or choose a different target.

Is it possible to accomplish publish (as in Visual Studio publish on Web Application project) on solution using NAnt? I just can't find the solution. They key is to use the built-in "_CopyWebApplication" target. Here is what i do <target name="compile" description="Compiles the project."> <exec basedir="." program="${DotNetPath}msbuild.exe" commandline=" src/MyProject.Web/MyProject.Web.csproj /nologo /t:Rebuild /t:ResolveReferences;_CopyWebApplication /p:OutDir=../../output/build/bin/ /p:WebProjectOutputDir=../../output/build/ /p:Debug=${debug} /p:Configuration=${configuration} /v:m"

Can we use MSBuild without Visual Studio 2012? Currently, we have a build server where we are compiling and creating deployment copy of one of our projects, it has Visual Studio Professional Edition installed. We are setting up a new build server now. Do we really need Visual Studio 2012 on the new build server? If yes, then how? I googled it but I couldn't find an answer. No, you don't need Visual Studio on your build box. If I recall correctly, msbuild is installed as part of the .NET framework - it certainly used to be. Depending on what you're building, you may find that there are some

I am looking to do something that seems feasible, but searches on Google do not return something as precise as what I need. We inherited Nant scripts from a previous company that localizes websites. They work great. We have our own Ant scripts that compare two SVN repositories and then merge them. We would like to call the Nant script while the Ant scripts are run. Anybody can provide some guidance as of how to do that? We are not looking to rewrite the Nant script in Ant, so please avoid that suggestion. Thanks! You call put your ant scripts in a batch file (ant_tasks.bat) and then execute it
