Don’t Go Breaking My Build

Posted on June 8, 2009 by Robert Beal

I’ve written another article on the Huddle blog, this time detailing about how to stop the build breaking or at least informing people when it has been broken so it can be fixed quickly. There is a Jabber notification NAnt task we use. I’m working on putting together a NAnt.Util library (pulling together previous tasks I’ve written) that has a whole load of common build functionality. The Jabber stuff should be included in it.

I’ll hopefully be doing another article regarding farming out the build. As ours gets bigger, we need more workers to keep things quick. I’ve been taking a look at Team City and am contemplating moving us across from CruiseControl.Net.

we use teamcity now (moved from cc.net), definitely more scalable and the web interface kicks cruise controls in the arse.

hey matey, hope you're well. Yeah I've got it running in parallel to CC, but it's not quite ready yet.

CC interface sucks. I actually got bored one day and rewrote the templates for ours, so it's not so bad.

Definitely liking the ease of teamcity, and the worker agents.
