RE: [Nant-users] Getting Code from VSS via NAnt

Title: Message
Yes there is, but it's in the NAnt Contrib rather than the core (more info on NAntContrib can be found at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/nantcontrib )
 
 
Will fill you in on the <vssget> command,
 
 
Will show you all tasks available in the NAnt Contrib (there are a load of other SourceSafe ones).
 
As for the get task - I typically have it in a separate target (<cvsUpdate> seeing as we're using CVS here) which is called before the build target. As I divide each of the clean, build, deploy and test targets up into their own scripts (each containing a whole pile of their own targets), that means it goes in the build target (as you would look at it).
 
Hope that helps :)

Subject: [Nant-users] Getting Code from VSS via NAnt

Hi all,
 
Is there support for VSS or do I need to call the <exec> task to run a batch file?
 
Is there a better way to get the latest from VSS?  Also, which target does this task really belong in?  I have the following targets now...
 
clean - Deletes all files from the bin directory and recopies the dll's from a given reference directory
build - Compiles the code and outputs the resultant dll to the bin directory
package - zips up all the necessary files for the web app to be copied to the destination directory
install - copies the zip over to the install directory and unzips
 
I know I need a test target but I'm building my way to that as I am new to NAnt. Is it standard practice to put the source code extraction in one of the existing targets or it's own target?
 
Thanks,

Evan A. Bonnett
