Thanks for the input Phil. I was using an older version of CCNet and
wasn't aware of dynamic parameters. They are exactly what I was
looking for! I have run into a problem though. I am having trouble
using dynamic parameters to prompt the user for logon details to SVN.
My code is as follows:
<project name="Test Project">
<webURL>xxx</webURL>
<sourcecontrol type="svn">
<trunkUrl>xxx</trunkUrl>
<workingDirectory>xxx</workingDirectory>
<username>$[SVNUsername]</username>
<password>$[SVNPassword]</password>
<executable>C:\Program Files\VisualSVN\bin\svn.exe</executable>
</sourcecontrol>
...
<parameters>
<textParameter name="SVNUsername">
<description>SVN Username</description>
<minimum>4</minimum>
<maximum>20</maximum>
<required>true</required>
</textParameter>
<textParameter name="SVNPassword">
<description>SVN Password</description>
<minimum>4</minimum>
<maximum>20</maximum>
<required>true</required>
</textParameter>
</parameters>
</project>
However, I get the following error when I try to run a force build:
[Test Project:ERROR] INTERNAL ERROR: Invalid cast from 'System.String'
to 'ThoughtWorks.CruiseControl.Core.Util.PrivateString'.
----------

Can anyone help me with fixing this?
