Re: Nested 'composite' elements in, CC-config?

Interesting. I think you have found a problem with <composite>, though 
I'm not sure it "should" be fixed - but maybe just better documented.

The <schedule> tag looks at any <builder> tags it contains and "picks" 
one (and only one) builder to execute. This "pick" looks at things like 
the builders' interval/date etc.

http://cruisecontrol.sourceforge.net/main/configxml.html#schedule

I don't think the <composite> builder does anything special to "expose" 
such interval/date attributes of it's child builders (though I'm not 
sure it should either for your use case).

Have you tried removing the "wrapper" (outer-most) <composite>, so the 
<schedule> tag will just pick one of the inner <composite> builders 
using their times? eg:

   <schedule>
       <composite time="1240">
         <ant anthome="${ant.home}" antWorkingDir="${projects}/common"
           target="moduletest" keepgoing="true" timeout="600" />
         <ant anthome="${ant.home}" antWorkingDir="${projects}/main"
           target="moduletest" keepgoing="true" timeout="600" />
       </composite>

       <composite time="2000">
         <ant anthome="${ant.home}" antWorkingDir="${projects}/common"
           target="moduletest" keepgoing="true" timeout="600" />
         <ant anthome="${ant.home}" antWorkingDir="${projects}/main"
           target="moduletest" keepgoing="true" timeout="600" />
       </composite>
   </schedule>

Hi all,


In a project consisting of several subprojects, I'd like to make the
'moduletest' target with ant in the lunch break and in the evening. I have
come up with the following configuration:

<project name="ModuleTests">
   <listeners> ... </listeners>
   <modificationset> ... </modificationset>
   <schedule>
     <composite>
       <composite time="1240">
         <ant anthome="${ant.home}" antWorkingDir="${projects}/common"
           target="moduletest" keepgoing="true" timeout="600" />
         <ant anthome="${ant.home}" antWorkingDir="${projects}/main"
           target="moduletest" keepgoing="true" timeout="600" />
       </composite>

       <composite time="2000">
         <ant anthome="${ant.home}" antWorkingDir="${projects}/common"
           target="moduletest" keepgoing="true" timeout="600" />
         <ant anthome="${ant.home}" antWorkingDir="${projects}/main"
           target="moduletest" keepgoing="true" timeout="600" />
       </composite>
     </composite>
   </schedule>
</project>

This doesn't quite seem to work, as the indicted times are ignored. The
documentation is not clear about this:

http://cruisecontrol.sourceforge.net/main/configxml.html#composite

Quoting: 'The CompositeBuilder executes a list of builders (any builder,
except <pause>).' Though 'composite' is not mentioned in the potential child
builders.

Are nested 'composite' elements allowed? If not, how can I achieve two timed
builds for one CC-project?
