[nant-dev] [FYI] sysinfo task changed
Hi Folks, with Win7-64bit sysinfo task got a problem with env variables named ProgramFiles(x86). This is wihtin nant an illegal variable name and thus caused sysinfo to fail. The only way was to set 'failonerror=false' for sysinfo task to get at least the other variables. After some discussions https://github.com/nant/nant/pull/83 we changed the sysinfo task and now ProgramFiles(x86) will become sys.env.ProgramFiles.x86 For all other env variables which might contain illegal chars (from nant's point of view) the chars are replaced by an underscore. (see below taken from sysinfo docu) sysinfo docu When the name of an environment variable contains characters that are not allowed in a property name, the task will use a property name where each of such characters is replaced with an underscore (_). Moreover when the name of an environment variable ends with the string (x86) the name of the property that is defined by this task will end with .x86 instead. For example the environment variable ProgramFiles(x86) will become sys.env.ProgramFiles.x86 but an environment variable named Program(x86)Files would become sys.env.Program_x86_Files. - end sysinfo docu So far Dominik -- Own the Future-Intel(R) Level Up Game Demo Contest 2013 Rise to greatness in Intel's independent game demo contest.

Re: [nant-dev] Adding an update parameter to the zip task
Hi, my understanding is that the use of Dotnetzip should be possible as long as we provide it in binary form. This should be ok with Gpl2, but our license also includes any later GPL which means that we also need to take Gpl3 into account. And therefore I don't have any glue if MS-PL fits or not. But if I remember correctly we had some discussions regarding source of nunit and ndoc and why we don't provide it in out repository. @Ryan Do you remember?

Re: [nant-dev] Next NAnt/NAntContrib TODO Tasks
Hi, I have another request which is high priority for me: Review of nant's unit testing concept. Currently I would like to use test first for implementing and fixing. But as far as I can see it is not possible to run nant's test from within IDE. I have a basic unterdstanding why this is done this way (started nearly 10 Years ago), but now these tests looks more like integration tests than unit tests in TDD thinking. Maybe we can add another test project where we can run tests within IDE and on build server too.

[nant-dev] SDK docs in nant zipfile
Hi folks, I started to setup a teamcity build task to automatically create nightlies. Everything went ok, but I struggled over ndoc and HtmlHelp generation for NAnt-SDK.chm. Ndoc's MSDN documentor has a readonly property for hhc.exe. It search in %PROGRAMFILES% but this is the wrong location on x64 machines where it will be %PROGRAMFILES(x86)%. Now there are some possible solutions: 1) I found a working way to use reflection to set this internal property on MSDN documentor. 2) Remove the NAnt-SDK.chm from bin (or nightlies) zip. IMHO NAnt-SDK.chm not needed for bin zip. I think a better place could be in src zip. So what do you think? Do someone out there need sdk-doc on a regular basis? Any other ideas?

Re: [nant-dev] Updates to MSBuild VSNet Tasks
Hi Ryan,
these changes are good rom my point of view.
I have ony one minor thing what I can't test since I have difficulties
to debug nant at the moment.
MSBuildProject.cs within DetermineProductVersion line 279
if (_productVerNode != null) {
Version _ver = new Version(_productVerNode.InnerText);
_productVerNode.InnerText might be empty especially in vb.net projects.
Which results in an exception since is not valid vor Version

if (_productVerNode != null
!StringUtils.IsNullOrEmpty(_productVerNode.InnerText))
Well done

Von: Dominik Guder o...@guder.org
An: nant-developers@lists.sourceforge.net
On 64bit systems there are some environment variables which contains
parentheses like *ProgramFiles(x86)* or *CommonProgramFiles(x86)*.
This are invalid property names which cause the sysinfo tasks to fail.
b) replace any parentheses in env.name with underscores and put this
into docu.
So I would like to go with b) since the properties could be used.
In addition docu states that function *environment::get-variable()*
should be used to retrieve env variables. So I think this won't affect a
lot of users.
Ok, I did some checks and will add some patches for discussion.
(text in [[[ ]]] might be used for commit message as seen at svn mailing
list)
[[[

]]]
sysinfo-task-docu-error.patch
sysinfo-replace-propname.patch:
this is a first implementation to replace sys.env.ProgramFiles(x86)
with sys.env.ProgramFiles_x86_
There is still the docu change missing. But I will provide this when we
are going this way.
Result:
--- snip ---
[sysinfo] sys.env.ProgramFiles = C:\Programme
[sysinfo] sys.env.ProgramFiles_x86_ = C:\Programme
--- snap ---
[[[

sysinfo-verbose-sorted.patch:
This patch will output properties on sorted order in verbose. I found
that I need to search more than I like to find my replaced property
without this sorting

Am 06.08.2010 14:58, schrieb David Sheeks: Dominik, I haven't written any custom nant tasks recently but have written quite a few in the past and having some documentation on the SDK is certainly helpful. I'm not too picky about .chm vs .html, although .chm is somewhat easier to search through. What error are you getting during the build? I've certainly seen issues in the past with bad content in summary comments in various projects. I don't get an error during build if html help workshop is installed with its installer. But I'm not the admin of teamcity.codebetter.com. So I tried to copy just the HHW files to a local dir aside of nant, but then hhc.exe is not working fully since one dll must be registered by regsvr32. I tried to create a manifest, but this did not work for me. Maybe I used the wrong tools So building the chm is not an issue, but requires install of HHW. And before asking admin of codebetter.com I wanted to check if chm is really needed. I have some other ideas, which I'm willing to discuss, but I think I want to wait some other time to get some more response. So far Dominik PS: If there is someone out there who figuered out to use HHW without install should drop me a note. -- The answer to the great question of life, the universe and everything is 42 (Douglas Adams) -- This SF.net email is sponsored by Make an app they can't live without Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge http://p.sf.net/sfu/RIM-dev2dev ___ nant-developers mailing list nant-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nant-developers

Hi, I'm trying to build the nightlies on teamcity.codebetter.com The breaking point right is now the SDK CHM file. First of all I'm wondering if anybody out there is reading this chm file.

Re: [nant-dev] Bug tracker tag for 0.9
The bug which I was unable to enter is that when I use Nant-Contrib's MSBuild task, all output from the task is concatenated onto a single line with no carriage returns. Hi Richard, are you sure you are using Nant-Contrib's msbuild task? msbuild is part of nant itself. so far Dominik -- The answer to the great question of life, the universe and everything is 42 (Douglas Adams) -- Download Intel#174; Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

Re: [nant-dev] sysinfo task
On 64bit systems there are some environment variables which contains
parentheses like *ProgramFiles(x86)* or *CommonProgramFiles(x86)*.
This are invalid property names which cause the sysinfo tasks to fail.
b) replace any parentheses in env.name with underscores and put this
into docu.
So I would like to go with b) since the properties could be used.
In addition docu states that function *environment::get-variable()*
should be used to retrieve env variables. So I think this won't affect a
lot of users.
Ok, I did some checks and will add some patches for discussion.
(text in [[[ ]]] might be used for commit message as seen at svn mailing
list)
[[[
fix incorrect definition of failonerror in sysinfo docu.
]]]
sysinfo-task-docu-error.patch
sysinfo-replace-propname.patch:
this is a first implementation to replace sys.env.ProgramFiles(x86)
with sys.env.ProgramFiles_x86_
There is still the docu change missing. But I will provide this when we
are going this way.
Result:
--- snip ---
[sysinfo] sys.env.ProgramFiles = C:\Programme
[sysinfo] sys.env.ProgramFiles_x86_ = C:\Programme
--- snap ---
[[[
sort sysinfo properties when using verbose=true
]]]
sysinfo-verbose-sorted.patch:
This patch will output properties on sorted order in verbose. I found
that I need to search more than I like to find my replaced property
without this sorting
So far Dominik

[nant-dev] sysinfo task
Hi Folks, while setting up the CI for Nant we discovered an issue with sysinfo task on 64bit systems. On 64bit systems there are some environment variables which contains parentheses like *ProgramFiles(x86)* or *CommonProgramFiles(x86)*. This are invalid property names which cause the sysinfo tasks to fail. What to do now: For a short slution we could a) add *failonerror=false* to all sysinfo test so all test will be green again. (error in docu) b) replace any parentheses in env.name with underscores and put this into docu. With a) any env.property with parentheses will be droped and could not be used. So I would like to go with b) since the properties could be used. In addition docu states that function *environment::get-variable()* should be used to retrieve env variables. So I think this won't affect a lot of users. For a later solution we should check whether the property name validation should be moved to property task itself and not done in propertylist. Since someone could create an invalid property name without using any propertylist like sysinfo task. -- The answer to the great question of life, the universe and everything is 42 (Douglas Adams) -- Download Intel#174; Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

Re: [nant-dev] NAnt delay on Mono/Linux Update (Aka: NDoc Discussion)
Am 10.03.2010 05:45, schrieb Ryan Boggs: Hey guys, I've been poking around the internals of NAnt for the past few days trying to understand why it's been taking between 1600-1700 seconds to build on my Mono/Linux system. Which is why I sent that small patch last week. It wasn't to fix the problem but to allow others who are working on other aspects of NAnt a faster building time for them to test while this gets sorted out. Anyway, during my tests, I noticed that the hang up seems to occur during the Generating Task Documents.. phase of the NDoc task. I believe that this is around line 254 of src/NDoc.Documenter.NAnt/NAntDocumenter.cs. The problem I am having is that I can't seem to get any additional information to print during this process. I've tried using simple Console.WriteLine commands but that doesn't seem to work and the -v+/-debug+ command line arguments don't print out additional information either. Can anyone give me some additional pointers/advice of how I should proceed next? I'm kinda stuck. Basically I think it is not required for upcomming 0.87 release to build doc on Windows and on Linux. I did't look into doc gen in detail but if we keep ndoc html pages this could be used for mono docs too. As a first solution could be to drop building doc on linux. Besides of this to get more information out of documentor you can use OnDocBuildingStep(buildStepProgress, some other info); within NAntDocumenter.cs to display more information. You also might try to use ndoc verbose=true for doc tasks in nant.build file. hth Dominik -- The answer to the great question of life, the universe and everything is 42 (Douglas Adams) -- Download Intel#174; Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

Could you help me understand why the self-userdoc target is being called via the exec program task rather than calling it internally? I know there must be a reason for this approach but I am having difficulty understanding. Thanks in advance, Ryan Hi Ryan, you should look who is calling Nant.build file. Basically it is bootstrap\nant.exe or any other nant.exe to build the new nant.exe. And self-doc should use the newly generated nant.exe If it was called internally then the bootstrap\nant.exe will be documented not the new one. hth Dominik -- The answer to the great question of life, the universe and everything is 42 (Douglas Adams) -- Download Intel#174; Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

[nant-dev] Moving away from CVS
Hi, since we are in an early stage of getting drive on nant again, I want to ask if we could moving away from CVS. My first proposal is to switch to subversion. First of all I'm primarily use svn and in addition I have a local script to convert nant cvs repository into my local svn repository. If someone wants to take a look I might provide a temporarily readonly access to my local svn repository on my own server. There might be some other guys to use another scm like git or mercurial. So let me know what you think.

Re: [nant-dev] Re: Continuing work on msbuild-solution
Hi, As Brass wrote, there usually is not a problem even with execing msbuild.exe. Despite it's not much elegant, there are some caveats. From my point of view execing is not very handy and results in confusing build scripts. Thats why I created msbuild-solution. There is also simple msbuild task, which is not much more that exec above msbuild.exe. I tried msbuild-solution, but I couldn't get it working until I tried it again now. So I'll give either msbuild-solution or msbuild a try in our build environment Currently we are building our VS2003 projects through solution solutionfile=foo.sln . The dependencies are resolved manually due the order in the main build file. exec is only used where necessary, e.g. Installer I hope to get a working solution for our environment.
