CruiseControl.NET : Executable Task

This page last changed on Mar 16, 2005 by mroberts.

The Executable Task lets you invoke any command line executable. It doesn't offer as much specific integration as (for example) the NAnt Task, but does allow you to hook almost anything up as a build process to CCNet.

Examples

Minimalist example:

<exec executable="c:\projects\myproject\build.bat"/>

Full example:

<exec>
    <executable>make</executable>
    <baseDirectory>D:\dev\MyProject</baseDirectory>
    <buildArgs>all</buildArgs>
    <buildTimeoutSeconds>10</buildTimeoutSeconds>
</exec>

Configuration Elements:

Node	Description	Type	Required	Default
executable	The path of the program to run. If this is relative, then must be relative to either (a) the base directory, (b) the CCNet Server application, or (c) if the path doesn't contain any directory details then can be available in the system or application's 'path' environment variable	string	true	n/a
baseDirectory	The directory to run the process in. If relative, is a subdirectory of the Project Working Directory	string	false	Project Working Directory
buildArgs	Any command line arguments to pass in	string	false	no arguments
buildTimeoutSeconds	Number of seconds to wait before assuming that the process has hung and should be killed.	int	false	600 (10 minutes)
