Using NuGet in a MSBuild-target to have the packages at the last stand

Wed, 06 Jul 2011 18:15:00 +0200

Motivation

Encouraged from the article “Using NuGet without committing packages to source control” I decided to wrap the NuGet-call in a MSBuild target instead of using a pre-build event.

Because we also trigger FxCop and StyleCop via targets this fits better in our project management.

Integrate NUnit in Hudson CI-server

Naming

Its a good practice to have a common naming schema for test projects, fixture categories and fixture. Especially to configure automatic runs of unit tests is much more easier with this.

Integrate Simian in Hudson CI-server

Wed, 07 Jul 2010 00:04:00 +0200

Steps to integrate simian

add simian to VCS
(in our case folder ./trunk/build/simian)
add build step to your Hudson job
(Execute Windows batch command)

use following two commands

.\trunk\build\Simian\bin\simian-2.2.24.exe
 -formatter=xml:.\trunk\bin\Simian.Result.xml
 -excludes=**/*.Test/**/*.cs
 -excludes=**/*.DbFrame/**/*.cs
 -excludes=**/*.DbLayout/**/*.cs
 -excludes=**/*.Designer.cs
 -excludes=**/XServer1\_8.cs
 -threshold=10
 **/*.cs
EXIT 0

Explanation

For better visibility and understanding I have split the first call (simian) over several lines. Needless to say that you must contract all parameters and arguments of the simian call in one line.

Hudson error: could not delete ..config.xml

Tue, 06 Jul 2010 16:44:00 +0200

Today we updated our Hudson CI-server. After changing job-configuration Hudson throws an error, that the config.xml could not be deleted.

But the new entries are correct saved.

Nevertheless such behavior bothers.

The trick was to update also the plugins. After that all works fine again.
