example of using advertised nant plugin from cruisecontrol

Could someone please post a working example of using the nant plugin in cruisecontrol?

According to the doc it's doable.
<nant>
<cruisecontrol><http://localhost:8080/documentation/main/configxml.html#cruisecontrol>
  <project><http://localhost:8080/documentation/main/configxml.html#project>
    <schedule><http://localhost:8080/documentation/main/configxml.html#schedule>
      <nant>

Specifies a NAnt<http://nant.sourceforge.net/> build to be run at a given time or build number. For instance, we can run a clean build every 5 builds, or run more comprehensive (and time intensive) system tests every 10 builds. We can also schedule an official build to run every night at midnight, if we so desire.

When a build runs, NAnt is invoked in a separate Java process. NAnt and the .NET Framework or Mono need to be installed for this builder to function. See NAnt's documentation for details on configuration and compatibility with .NET implementations.

The standard CruiseControl properties passed to builders<http://localhost:8080/documentation/main/configxml.html#buildproperties> are available from within the NAnt build.

See below for examples<http://localhost:8080/documentation/main/configxml.html#nant-examples> of the <nant> element.
Attributes

See also the common attributes<http://localhost:8080/documentation/main/configxml.html#builderattributes> for builders.
Attribute

Required

Description

buildfile

No (defaults to default.build)

Path to NAnt build file.

target

No

NAnt target(s) to run. Default is "", or the default target for the build file.

tempfile

No

Name of temp file. Defaults to log.xml

targetFramework

No, but recommended

Specifies the framework to target. Typical values are "net-1.1" and "mono-1.0".

nantWorkingDir

No

Will invoke NAnt in the specified directory.

timeout

No

NAnt build will be halted if it continues longer than the specified timeout. Value in seconds.

uselogger

No

'true' if CruiseControl should call NAnt using -logger; 'false' to call NAnt without '-logger', thus using the loggerclass as a Listener. uselogger="true" will make NAnt log its messages using the class specified by loggerclassname as a NAnt Logger, which can make for smaller log files since it doesn't log DEBUG messages (see useDebug and useQuiet attributes below, and the NAnt documentation<http://nant.sourceforge.net/release/0.85-rc1/help/fundamentals/listeners.html>). Listener will echo NAnt messages to console which is useful when debugging your NAnt build. Defaults to 'false' for historical reasons, but setting it to 'true' is recommended for production situations.

loggerclassname

No (defaults to NAnt.Core.XmlLogger)

If you want to use another logger than NAnt's XmlLogger, you can specify the classname of the logger here. The logger needs to output compatible XML, and the class needs to be available on the classpath at buildtime.

usedebug

No

If true will invoke NAnt with -debug, which can be useful for debugging your NAnt build. Defaults to 'false', cannot be set to 'true' if usequiet is also set to 'true'. Is only effective when used in combination with uselogger="true"!

usequiet

No

If true will invoke NAnt with -quiet, which can be useful for creating smaller log files since messages with a priority of INFO will not be logged. Defaults to 'false', cannot be set to 'true' if usedebug is also set to 'true'. Is only effective when used in combination with uselogger="true"!

Child Elements
Element

Cardinality

Description

<property>

0 .. *

Used to define properties for the NAnt build. The element has two required attributes: "name" and "value". These will be passed on the NAnt command-line as "-D:name=value"
Example: <property name="foo" value="bar"/>

Examples

  1.  Invoke NAnt, specifying the working directory as D:\workspace\MyProject and the NAnt build file as MyProject-nightly.build using the default target.
2.  <schedule>
3.      <nant nantworkingdir="D:\workspace\MyProject"
4.           buildfile="MyProject-nightly.build"
5.           uselogger="true"
6.           usedebug="false"/>
<schedule>

  1.  Invoke NAnt, specifying the working directory as /home/cc/workspace, the build file as default.build, the nant target as smoketest, and the targetframework as .NET version 1.1.
8.  <schedule>
9.      <nant targetframework="net-1.1"
10.         nantworkingdir="/home/cc/workspace"
11.         target="smoketest"
12.         uselogger="true"/>
<schedule>
