I'm new to both CCrb and git. I pulled down the latest from the
master thoughtworks repository on github, and after a few quick
tweaks, I had a CCrb instance and running on mod_passenger. I
added a project, a few more tweaks, it built. So far, so good!
Here, though, are the things I'm not clear on...
1. When I set up my new project, I added it as
./cruise add projectname --repository [EMAIL PROTECTED]:projectname.git --
source-control git
Where do these parameters get stored? I don't see any external
managment of them. They go into the Project model, but there's no
database.yml, so from there, I'm lost Are they a side effect of
CRUISE_DATA_ROOT/projects having a subfolder named for each project?
Exactly. If you look at the code in app/model/Project, it just looks
at the sub-folders of CRUISE_DATA_ROOT/projects and tries to load a
project from each one. Cruise is basically using the file-system as
its database, which is actually pretty neat - you can delete old
build, for example, just by deleting the build-* folder in your
project's folder.
2. To get my project to build the first time, I had to manually do
a "git submodule init;git submodule update"in the project's work
directory, to pull down the plugins from the master. Is this
something that CCrb should be doing? I'd imagine it could need
redoing over time, as the upstream versions change, but I'm not
sure what part of the process should be doing that.
We just started using sub-modules yesterday, and I just added a rake
task to the :cruise task that does a system call to git submodule
init/update on every build, just in case. I'm not sure if that's the
most appropriate approach, but it's what we're doing for now.
3. Now that it's built... it built once, said it was happy, and
that's it. I can do a manual build via the web interface, and it
works, but it doesn't pull any new code down from the master (which
is on the same server, as username git). The automatic build,
which is supposed to poll every 20 seconds for updates, doesn't
seem to have done anything; here again, I'm hampered by not knowing
what to look for. The logs don't contain the string "git" at all.
Where is that pull supposed to occur?
Sorry, can't help you with this one - ours works fine. I guess you
need to check that the builder processes are running under an account
with sufficient permission on your git repo folders. How exactly did
you reference the repository? If you're on the same machine you can
use file paths which might make things simpler:
e.g. ./cruise add projectname --repository /home/git/projectname --
source-control git
Thanks for any pointers..
