NUnit Hangs Up When Run Through Nant Using .Net 4.0

Ran into this one yesterday starting with Cruise Control not finishing. At first I just thought Cruise Control just wasn’t that into it, but turns out something was hanging up and that something was N-N-N-UNIT. Well to be more specific it was NUnit while being run through Nant although in the end it wasn’t Nant’s fault. Turns out it has to do the latest stable release of NUnit… 2.5.8.something.whatever.

The fix? Grab 2.5.9.yayayaya from the download page and use the nunit-console from that instead. I guess the whole issue had to do with the latest .Net 4.0 and the latest stable version of NUint. I guess they don’t like each other. They go together like water and something that doesn’t go well with water.

CruiseControl.Net and CVS: Multiple Modules

Something I ran into is trying to check multiple modules for changes since the project I am trying to “modernize” is spread across what cvs calls modules. Really all they are is projects separated in the same trunk, but whatever. The point is I didn’t want to have to check the root directory where all projects are housed in order to see if just 5 have changed. Turns out it’s pretty easy. Just a disclaimer though: I’m still learning Cruise Control from scratch which means there might be a better way. This one however is simple and works… just like me. Well at least he simple part.

  <sourcecontrol type="multi">
    <sourceControls>
      <cvs>
        <executable>C:\Program Files (x86)\cvsnt\cvs.exe</executable>
        <cvsroot>yourCvsRoot>
        <module>location/of/theModule</module>
      </cvs>

      <cvs>
        <executable>C:\Program Files (x86)\cvsnt\cvs.exe</executable>
        <cvsroot>yourCvsRoot</cvsroot>
        <module>location/of/theSecondModule</module>
      </cvs>

      <cvs>
        <executable>C:\Program Files (x86)\cvsnt\cvs.exe</executable>
        <cvsroot>yourCvsRoot</cvsroot>
        <module>location/of/theThirdModule</module>
      </cvs>

      <cvs>
        <executable>C:\Program Files (x86)\cvsnt\cvs.exe</executable>
        <cvsroot>yourCvsRoot</cvsroot>
        <module>location/of/theFourthModule</module>
      </cvs>
    </sourceControls>
  </sourcecontrol>

The secret is the “multi” key word in the sourcecontrol tag and then adding the many cvs tags with the correct values.
