Build System about givecrm HOT 17 CLOSED

i will work along the assumption of check in causes deployment for now

Sounds great! Will you be putting "gates" in place so that failed builds and test failures prevent that change from being deployed?

from givecrm.

for sure - a successful build and successful unit test run (I will be adding a lot more of these) will cause a build and deploy :)

from givecrm.

Cool! Some of us got round to writing tests, others didn't. The way of the weekend, I guess.

CI is good. Thanks Paul!

from givecrm.

Ok the build will be on my build server

teamcity.paulstack.co.uk:8000

there is a giveCRM user
user: givecrm
pw: givecampuk

you can monitor the build on there

More to come on this

from givecrm.

Any chance we can have a CI build for GiveCRM.Admin too please?

We'll have the same database project dependency that we have for GiveCRM by the way (Mark built both DB layers identically).

@stack72 Thanks for setting this up! One question: how are the builds triggered? I just checked TeamCity and there were two changes pending that had been sat there since yesterday evening. I ran a build manually...

Not sure why Chris' change didn't fix the build either.

from givecrm.

C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v10.0\TeamData\Microsoft.Data.Schema.TSqlTasks.targets" was not found

there is another reference to those TeamData GAC references - the build is now triggered by VCS checkin

from givecrm.

@robinminto of course - i will set that one up in a bit (during lunch!)

from givecrm.

Ah, sorry about that, looks like that file references two others in the program files directory.

If no-one objects i'll add the files and push to the repo.

from givecrm.

@chris - go for it mate

from givecrm.

I've added the files, but the build failed with a new error, looks like a library that comes with VS2010.

I found this on stackoverflow, might have to drop that project from the build?

Ewwww, I feel dirty just reading the line,

The only way to do this and be in line with the licensing and support is to install a local copy of VS Pro or higher on your build box if not using TFS.

from givecrm.

We are not installing VS on a build server - I just cannot allow it!

from givecrm.

I love CI and I applaud the notion that we don't want to install VS on the build server, although it's a line I've never managed to hold (there are just too many good extensions that use it..) In this case though since portability of the project is important I think we have to keep a "no installing anything on the build server" rule intact. That may mean we have to take a different approach to databse schema management. For example, I've used an approach on our commercial products that is a PITA but ensures we can always upgrade databases at runtime when applications are fired up.

from givecrm.

Based on our email discussions, @markrendle has some plans around the database and Simple.Data that would remove our dependency on the database projects.

from givecrm.

Ok I have had to not include the DataBase project as part of the build - this means that we now have a successful build using PSake :)

I will tidy the script and then start auto deploy script to test.givecrm.org.uk
