Re: Use of <buildstatus> within Cruise Control

Thanks Julian, that has made things a lot clearer.

>From what you are saying I need the following:

<project name="Project-B" requireModification="true">
    <modificationset>
      <buildstatus logdir="logs/Project-A" vetoIfFailing="true"/>
    </modificationset>
    <schedule interval="3600">
      <exec ..."/>
    </schedule>
</project>
I will try this and see...

Hi,

It works like this:

- Project 'A' builds.
- CC publishes logs.
- Those logs become the changes that trigger Project 'B'.

Now, don't go thinking that you'll have a 1:1 correlation between 'A' and 'B': if A builds 5 times during a previous run of B, you'll see 5 modifications that trigger B.

The schedule element should not trigger a build, it should just check every hour (if you have requireModifications set to false, it would build every time it polls.

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

You can use the 'vetoIfFailing' attribute on buildstatus to stop it building if A fails.

HTH,

J.

I am struggling to understand the basic concept of getting one project to fire off after the successful completion of another.

I am firing off a project on a daily basis using <schedule> <composite time="0101> ...

What I want is for a second project to start if and only if this project completes successfully.

I have tried

<modificationset>
      <buildstatus logdir="logs/Project A"/>
</modificationset>

    <schedule interval="3600">
      <exec ..."/>
    </schedule>

But this fires off once an hour and it looks as if I remove the interval=3600, it will fire off with the default interval of 5 minutes! And it seems to fire off if Project A has failed as well.

I have read the Wiki page on Dependent Builds, but this does not really help.

I have also seen some posts about <log> but cannot see what extra I have to do.

All I want is for Project B to fire off when and only when Project A has completed successfully (on a daily basis).

How do I do this?
