Autobuild Config

So you want to set up an autobuild site? This is how our current nightly autobuild is configured.

Requirements

• Maven
• Ant
• Java SDK
• SVN
• Continuum

Assumptions

It is assumed that you have a working build environment as detailed in Building_PCGen

Steps

1. Download and install Continuum 1.1
2. Configure the email settings as noted in the install docs
3. Start Continuum and go to the default page - http://localhost:8080/continuum
4. Create an admin user and then login
5. Set the config options as appropriate
6. Add Project - Maven 1.x
7. Upload the project.xml from the pcgen directory and click Add
8. Continuum will download the project
9. Create a new schedule for the nightly build
10. Add a new build definition. The goal should be clean:clean jar pcgen:package site:deploy and uses the nightly schedule
11. Once the download has completed, manually start the build to test it

Troubleshooting

• SourceForge's SVN seems to drop out regularly. As a result you may need to coax the initial download from SVN along manually. You can do this by opening a shell or command window in the project working directory and running svn update
• If things seem to have paused or are not working, check the wrapper.log in the logs folder.
• If you get an error saying the working directory is locked, open a shell or command window in the project working directory and run svn cleanup
