Using CruiseControl for Automating AppFuse Builds

After seeing Mike Clark speak at Denver's JUG earlier this month (download presentation), I became slightly motivated to try and get automated builds running for AppFuse with CruiseControl. It's fairly easy to do with Anthill, so I figured CruiseControl couldn't be too much harder.

After countless hours of trying to get it to work, I give up. I've documented what I did, and where I'm at - but I can no longer afford to spend any time on it. If you're motivated enough, feel free to try and get it working. Suggestions are welcome, but likely won't be acted upon since I'm burned out on CruiseControl.

[Trackback] Today I installed Cruise-Control for a new project at work and it struck me: For sure I have read a lot of stuff about continous integration, but it feels soooo good if you just don't have to care about it...

this worked for me....but /Users/robert/build was my working directory when i invoked cruisecontrol.sh which might be a key difference. anyway, you might check out damagecontrol at codehaus, i think it's better than cruise.
<cruisecontrol>

Have you tried Damage Control from codehaus?

I use CruiseControl quite a bit (currently a build guy) and it can be a right pain (can offer help if you need it!). DamageControl is worth a look (used it a bit too), but hasn't been around long some might have the odd quirk. TBH, DC makes CruiseControl look overly complicated and not as advanced, so in the future it'll definately be the way to go.

I've used CruiseControl for a couple of years now and have to say it's been great. Matt - was there anything untoward in the CruiseControl log file ? You could also try upping the log level to DEBUG and see if that provides more info. Hope that helps. Thanks, -Paul

I pulled down your build.xml and config.xml and the 2.2 version of CC worked for me. The tests didn't complete (I don't have mysql installed) and am ~not~ using Cygwin. Have you tried removing Cygwin from the mix and just putting the cruisecontrol.bat file in your path?
