System.FormatException in CCnet

Question

When I try to Build my project via Cruise Control, I get the fallowing error :

BUILD EXCEPTION
Error Message:  System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format.

Project:    TRPMonitor 5.2.0 10G 11G
Date of build:  2012-06-07 13:53:26
Running time:   00:00:03
Integration Request:    Build (ForceBuild) triggered from COREBUILDER

I change the version of TortoiseSvn from 1.6 to 1.7 and update the svn command line from 1.6 to 1.7. How can I make my projects build again?

Thanks!

P.S. I went here : http://jira.public.thoughtworks.org/browse/CCNET-634 and here : http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.windows.dotnet.ccnet.user/6126 But it did not solve my problem.

• EDIT -

In the CCnet.log I found this (after updating all my files to svn 1.7) :

It seems that the error comes from the SVN command line ...

Answer 1

Looking at the release notes for svn 1.7, it looks like there were changes to how the metadata is stored (instead of multiple .svn folders, there is now only one.) Try deleting all of the source code on the build box and let ccnet re-pull everything.
