CruiseControl.NET : Visual Studio Task
This page last changed on Mar 16, 2005 by mroberts.
Most complex build processes use NAnt or MSBuild to script out the build process. However, for simple projects that just need to compile a Visual Studio.NET solution, the DevenvBuilder provides an easy way to compile your project.
Examples
Minimalist example:
<devenv> <solutionfile>src\MyProject.sln</solutionfile> <configuration>Debug</configuration> </devenv>
Full example:
<devenv> <solutionfile>src\MyProject.sln</solutionfile> <configuration>Debug</configuration> <executable>c:\program files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Common7\IDE\devenv.com</executable> <buildTimeoutSeconds>10</buildTimeoutSeconds> </devenv>
Configuration Elements:
| Node | Description | Type | Required | Default |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| solutionfile | Path of the solution file to build. If relative, is relative to the Project Working Directory | string | true | n/a |
| configuration | Solution configuration to use with the build (Not case sensitive) | string | true | n/a |
| executable | Path to "devenv.com" | string | false | CC.NET will try to load this path from the registry. If both VS.NET 2003 and VS.NET 2002 are installed, CC.NET will try using VS.NET 2003. In this case, if you need to use VS.NET 2002, you should specify this property to point to the location of "devenv.com" for VS.NET 2002. |
| buildTimeoutSeconds | Number of seconds to wait before assuming that the process has hung and should be killed. | int | false | 600 (10 minutes) |
Note: this task does require you to have Visual Studio .NET installed on your integration server.
