Project not showing up in Cruise Control Dashboard

Question

I'm new to continuous integration and Cruise Control. But I looked at few examples and I tried setting up a project to a pre-existing Cruise Control setup which had couple of projects in it.

I'm sure, all the files are pointed correctly and I modified the right ccnet.config.

But, the projects I added are not showing up in the web dashboard.

Here is the project block I added in the ccnet.config. (Removed the values in the elements for security reasons, but I'm sure the values are all good.)

<project>
<name></name>
<workingDirectory></workingDirectory>
<artifactDirectory></artifactDirectory>
<webURL></webURL>
<modificationDelaySeconds></modificationDelaySeconds>

<triggers>
    <intervalTrigger seconds="1200" buildCondition="IfModificationExists" />
</triggers>

<sourcecontrol type="svn">
    <executable></executable>
    <workingDirectory></workingDirectory>
    <autoGenSource>true</autoGenSource>
    <trunkUrl></trunkUrl>
    <username></username>
    <password></password>       
</sourcecontrol>
<tasks>
    <nant>
        <executable></executable>
        <baseDirectory></baseDirectory>
        <buildFile></buildFile>
        <targetList>
            <target></target>
        </targetList>
        <buildTimeoutSeconds>600</buildTimeoutSeconds>          
    </nant>
</tasks>

<publishers>
    <xmllogger logDir="" />
    <artifactcleanup cleanUpMethod="KeepLastBuilds" cleanUpValue="10" />
</publishers>
</project>

Am I missing something? Do I have to do anything else after modifying the ccnet.config? Any guidance from here would be really helpful.

Answer 1

• Add a project name in project tag
• Check the configuration file with the application CCValidator.exe in {CCNET_path}\server
• If nothing appears, restart your ccnet service/batch

Answer 2

@Aswin R : About the issue with artifactcleanup tag, you mispell the cleanUpMethod type : KeepLastXBuilds (forgot the X in the name).

Reference : http://www.cruisecontrolnet.org/projects/ccnet/wiki/Artifact_Cleanup_Publisher

Answer 3

Summary of my issue:

There was an error when I ran CCValidator.

There error was with the

 <artifactcleanup cleanUpMethod="KeepLastXBuilds" cleanUpValue="10" />

which said, Cannot convert String to ThoughtWorks CCnet datatype.

Removed that element and it worked!

EDIT: Mispelled KeepLastXBuilds as KeepLastBuilds.

Thanks for pointing it out TridenT

Answer 4

Can you add like this in the <project> tag

<project name="ProjectName">
