Failed recycling application pool 'release' on 'win7'.
Invalid namespace

It would be nice to revamp the website layout with an updated look and feel.

I would like to be able to use the msbuild task to build Visual Studio 2013 solutions and projects.

Currently, specifying:

<property name="nant.settings.currentframework" value="net-4.0"/>
<msbuild
  project="C:\Test\Test.sln"
  target="Build"
  verbosity="Detailed">
  <property name="Configuration" value="Debug" />
  <property name="Platform" value="Mixed Platforms" />
</msbuild>

Will execute msbuild.exe from "C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319".

With Visual Studio 2013, the path to msbuild.exe has changed.
See "What's New in MSBuild 12.0" here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh162058.aspx
MSBuild is now installed directly under %ProgramFiles%—for example, in C:\Program Files\MSBuild.

For example, for Visual Studio 2013/MSBuild 12.0, "C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\12.0\Bin\MSBuild.exe" should be used.

Thank you.

Hello,

I use NAnt 0.92 for Windows builds. I noticed that if some library which is listed in the task does not exist (the path is wrong for example) then NAnt does not fail. Instead, it tries to link less number of libraries and of course fails later with "undefined symbols".
This is annoying, because one can spend much time to investigate why exact symbols are missing before discovers the fact that the library was not passed correctly to the linker.
I would like to have at least a parameter for task to fail on unexisting libraries.

I have VS2012 installed. While try to compile NAntContrib via command:

• D:\nant-0.92\bin\NAnt.exe -D:nant.dir=D:\nant-0.92 -f:NAntContrib.build

I got the following error message

compile.schemas:

      [xsd] Compiling XML Schema 'D:\workspace\nantcontrib\src\Tasks\Msi\MsiTask.xsd' into Microsoft.NET classes.

BUILD FAILED

D:\workspace\nantcontrib\NAntContrib.build(164,14):
Error compiling XML Schema.
    The SDK for the 'net-4.0' framework is not available or not configured.

Is it because I have to specify the SDK install path? Or Is it that NAntContrib hasn't prepared to be compiled on .NET 4.0 yet?

Can anyone help? Thanks!

See the third comment under the http://stackoverflow.com/a/19402156/154637 answer for more details.

In Vb6Task.cs, nantcontrib is looking for vb6.exe under: SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\6.0\Setup\Microsoft Visual Basic

On x64 platforms, it is located under: SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\6.0\Setup\Microsoft Visual Basic

I don't know is it bug of nant-0.91 or nantcontrib-0.91, but it works fine with nant-0.85 + nantcontrib-0.85, and task is a part of nantcontrib project.

I think it refers to the old one unresolved issue http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1729572&group_id=31650&atid=402868

VSS task is referencing the old interop dll - SourceSafeTypeLib

it should refer to Microsoft.VisualStudio.SourceSafe.Interop . when i tried to run VSSGET it failed in 64 bit machine.

may be we need a new VSS Get task ? to keep the library compatible .

IE is IE7, Chrome is Chrome 21 Dev.

Would be nice to have a task to build documentation through sandcastle. Would probably require work on msbuild task.

Something like this, so we don't have to code it in C#. Useful if you have to stop and start services or deploy something in a particular order.

  <script language="C#">
<code><![CDATA[
    public static void ScriptMain(Project project) 
    {
                string str = project.Properties["original.string"];
                String[] myList = str.Split(',');
                Array.Reverse(myList);
                project.Properties["original.string.reverse"] = String.Join(",", myList);
    }
  ]]>
</code>
  </script>

Currently to speed up a build tasks must be executed in parallel. The lack of <parallel> (from Ant) forces lesser solutions like <exec ...> followed by <waitforexit>.

The major problem is that neither <exec> nor <waitforexit> can help check the program didn't throw an error (even with failonexit or resultproperty). I know the documentation says it's the current behavior but that's very limiting.

Example:

<project>
<target name="foo">
    <exec spawn="true" pidproperty="pid" failonerror="false" resultproperty="result" program="cmd" commandline="/c girbish" />
    <waitforexit pid="${pid}" />
    <echo>${result}</echo>
</target>
</project>

This will always display -1000 and never fail.

Is there any migration plan for NAntContrib?

I'd like to contribute a feature to NAntContrib: NAntFind. But because NAntContrib is still based on .NET Framework 2.0, some new features provided in newer .NET Framework versions (like LINQ) cannot be used. I can change my code, but it would acceleratte development if NAntContrib can be migrated to higher .NET version.

I've tried nantcontrib-0.92-bin.zip and the most recent nightly build and calling waitforexit fails.

<exec program="${msbuild.exe}" pidproperty="exec.pid" spawn="true" >
<!-- args --></exec>
<echo message="pid: ${exec.pid}" />
<waitforexit pid="${exec.pid}" />

log output;

     [echo] LogFile: msbuild.log 
     [echo] pid: 5188

Would be good to include source control tasks for mercurial since it has become popular these past few years. Could look into using Mercurial.net libs for these tasks.

Since Mono 3.2.3 the build fails with error CS0571, where CSC has no issues about this code. Since MSI and SourceSafe is not so important at mono on linux these taks might be dropped on mono build

Would be good to include source control tasks for Git since it has become very popular these past few years. Could look into using libgit2sharp lib for these tasks.

I would like to add tasks for ssh and scp commands to the nant/nantcontrib project. This would definitely be helpful during the nant release process as well.

Ant Examples:
SshExec
Scp

Possible .NET/Mono Lib references:
Ssh.net
SharpSsh

Otherwise, if there are encryption restrictions/concerns, then it may be best to use exernalprogrambase class and just call the command line programs.

Hi,

I know this is not a very big mistake. But its important.
Please have a look at your website : http://nantcontrib.sourceforge.net/

            <p>
                <img alt=">" src="bullet.gif" />
                Download the latest <a href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=54790">stable release</a>
                or a <a href="http://nantcontrib.sourceforge.net/nightly/">nightly build</a>
            </p>
            <p>
                <img alt=">" src="bullet.gif" />
                Read the user documentation for the latest <a href="release/latest/help/">release</a>
                or the <a href="nightly/latest/help/">nighty build</a>
            </p>

First is correct . Says Nightly build.
But the second one goes : Nighty builds.

Please correct.
Its a silly mistake. But since I love nant.
It makes my work way easier,

Thanks,
Siddharth.

It would probably be a good idea to move the cvs task to NAntContrib. It needs work and it is probably not being used much anymore due to the popularity of other source control programs, such as svn, git, and mercurial.

p4Info executes ToString() on the values Perforce.GetP4Info(find) returns without checking if ithey are not nulls. Taking into account that Perforce.GetP4Info(find) returns an array of string it's not needed at all and introduces a bug only.

protected override void ExecuteTask()
{
string[] find = {"User name:", "Client name:", "Client host:", "Client root:"};
string[] results = Perforce.GetP4Info(find);

Project.Properties[User] = results[0].ToString();            <-- BUG
Project.Properties[Client] = results[1].ToString();           <-- BUG 
Project.Properties[Host] = results[2].ToString();            <-- BUG
Project.Properties[Root] = results[3].ToString();            <-- BUG

}

The nunit2report task has a summary column called "Errors". According to the XSLT code, that's the count of tests that were not executed ("count(child::results/test-case[@executed='False'])"). This means that tests that were ignored (e.g., because they are tagged as [Ignore]) are incorrectly flagged.

NUnit does not document what the "executed='False'" attribute actually means, but I believe the only way it can be set is if the test is explicitly skipped.

Can you please change the column to "Ignored" or "Skipped"? That's what NUnit's GUI would represent these as.

when I try other codepage, the error was the same.
nant -D:nant.dir="C:\Program Files\NAnt" -D:codepage=20106 -f:NAntContrib.build install

which codepage should I use?

The web tasks which derive from NAnt.Contrib.Tasks.Web.WebBase have the iisserver attribute which allows the correct server to be identified as "{hostname}:{port}" e.g. "localhost:80".

However this does not work if the server concerned uses a secure (HTTPS) binding e.g. "localhost:443". It fails to find the server and this results in a "No website is bound to {port}" exception.

The cause of this is in the FindServerInstance method of WebBase which enumerates bindings found under the "ServerBindings" property. Secure bindings do not get added to this collection but are present in the "SecureBindings" property instead msdn reference.

This method should be amended to enumerate both SecureBindings and ServerBindings collections when searching for the server.

I wrote a small extension task that embeds a powershell script. We will be using it for complex build tasks. The script can access the Nant project object (get and set properties etc.). It also supports named powershell runspaces - so you can continue executing a script after setting up the parameters.

Anyone interested in this? I haven't contributed anything before - not sure if it is worthy or how to go about it.

Here is an example of the task in NAnt

Now would be a good time to upgrade the tasks to use SharpSvn libs so it no longer relies on using the exec task.
