Autobuild Config
So you want to set up an autobuild site? This is how our current nightly autobuild is configured.
Requirements
- Maven
- Ant
- Continuum
- Java SDK
Assumptions
It is assumed that you have a working build environment as detailed in Building_PCGen
Steps
- Download and install Continuum 1.1
- Configure the email settings as noted in the install docs
- Start Continuum and go to the default page - http://localhost:8080/continuum
- Create an admin user and then login
- Set the config options as appropriate
- Add Project - Maven 1.x
- Upload the project.xml from the pcgen directory and click Add
- Continuum will download the project
- Create a new schedule for the nightly build
- Add a new build definition. The goal should be clean:clean jar pcgen:package site:deploy and uses the nightly schedule
- 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
