AppFuseCruiseControl

This is version 2. It is not the current version, and thus it cannot be edited.

To setup automated builds with CruiseControl and AppFuse, you need to download CruiseControl (I used 2.2.rc3). Extract it to your $TOOLS_HOME directory, wherever that may be. I believe you have to build it too (with Ant).

After you've installed and built CruiseControl, create an "appfuse-cc" or similar directory next to your project directory. In my tests, I had:

c:\Source
c:\Source\appfuse
c:\Source\appfuse-cc

Download the following files and put them in the "appfuse-cc" directory:

• build.xml
• config.xml
• cruise.sh

To begin, you'll need to create a "logs/appfuse" directory in the "appfuse-cc" directory and you'll also need to run "ant" to run everything manually once. I'd love to automate these steps, but I couldn't figure out how.

I used Cygwin to run cruise.sh. You'll likely need to change paths in the above files to match your system.

I experienced many issues in the process of trying to get this to work. You can't use the simple <ant> builder with AppFuse b/c it doesn't find all of the tasks (even though they're defined) in build.xml. To get around this, you have to use the antscript attribute - which works, but the process hangs after running all the tests. It just sits at:

BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 3 minutes 39 seconds

... for hours ...

So this is where I'm at, everything works from a build/test perspective, but CC won't recover after running the antscript and just hangs. If I specify a timeout - it'll hit the timeout and then publish the results as failed (even though everything succeeded).
