Hi Matt, I think you could use a wide range of CI servers as most will allow you to call an arbitrary command-line process. That said Google showed me this article on using DotNetNuke with CC.NET. Jtf

Hi Jeff,
Stupid question for you–What continuous integration server can be used with DNN ?

Thanks for the feedback Jeff. We are just struggling today with using the linux version of CC. The buildresults web page seems to keep eating all of the sockets on the system (RHH 4.)

Hi Steve,

Nope, CruiseControl isn’t dead. I put up a pre-release version of 2.8.3 on Oct. 14th. Personally I haven’t done any work on CC since then, but only because I’ve been traveling literally every week for my day job.

While I’ve been unavailable on of our other committers (Dan Rollo) has been working with Paul Julius to try and get access rights to finish up the release and get it out.

So while we’ve been delayed, one way or the other I expect 2.8.3 to be out in January.

Jeff,
Is CruiseControl dead. I’m not seeing any activity. We currently are having to role back our CC to previous version because of problems with the dashboard. Have people moved on to other continuous integration tools?

[...] not found a lot on how to do continuous integration in iPhone development, but I did come across one interesting article by Jeffrey Fredrick that explained how to use Cruise Control on Xcode [...]

Hi Jeff,

That isn’t something you can configure out of the box, bit it should be pretty easy to write a plugin to do it for you.

I’d probably write an extension of the modification set that would prune the returned mods to the lowest revision. As long as the value for getTimeOfCheck() matched the earliest revision you’d be able to pick up the other changes on the next build attempt.

Hello Jeff,

I have a simple question for you:
Is it possible to somehow configure CruiseControl to fetch each changelist, one by one?

I want the system to build every changelist, so if someone crash the build, I will know which one it was!

I tried to shorten my time between each build, but that’s not really a solution.

Regards,
Jeff

Effective self-organization requires the team to continuously reflect on what is being done, and not done, thus retrospectives should be an integral part of it. I think that your criteria in general is closer to the ground than Scott’s and that is why it tends to be longer.

No, the Xcode builder isn’t passing any environment variables, though I agree it would be a good idea. Patches gratefully accepted. :)

I don’t know if it helps in your case but it will do property substitution with the command-line, so if there was some way to pass a value through xcodebuild on the command-line that would work.
