Re: Unable to use cctimestamp property under log or merge context

Hi Parag,

There are three context for properties in CruiseControl:

1. Configuration time properties that are used in config.xml
2. Build time properties that are passed to the builders
3. Properties in the log file that can be retrieved by plugins that handle
the log file

The cctimestamp is not available at configuration time, so can't be used in
the first context, which is probably what you were trying to do.

The example using it with a publisher (
http://cruisecontrol.sourceforge.net/main/configxml.html#cmsynergybaselinepublisher)
isn't a general example. It relies on code in the
CMSynergyBaselinePublisher's base class to extract the cctimestamp value
from the log file and then do the property substitution on the baseline
name.

So you can do what you want, but it would involve making the MergeLogger
property aware. This is possible because the BuildLogger interface has the
primary method: public void log(Element buildLog), which means the log is
there to extract the properties from.

So you could accomplish what you want either by patching MergeLogger -- a
patch I think we'd accept -- or by creating your own custom knock off of
MergeLogger and putting the special case for cctimesamp in there. That
second route would be quicker for you, but wouldn't it be cool to contribute
to the project?   :)
