Vault + CruiseControl.NET

code · Post by **code** » Wed May 28, 2008 12:52 pm

Apologies if this message is not strictly classed as Vault support but if anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated.

I have a CruiseControl.NET project that is pulling files from a Vault repository. I am getting the Path Too Long error on one of the files, which is causing the get latest to fail and hence the build.

Is there any way to skip folders from a get latest request that are included in the repository folder but are not needed for the build?

For example, my repository root looks like:

$/Project/Trunk
--- Database
--- Solution
------ App1
------ App2
------ App3
--- Tools

Could I configure the CruiseControl.NET source control block so, upon getting the latest source from $/Project/Trunk into an empty folder, it can skip the Database sub folder?

Like I say, any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,

Tim

Sorry, this is the exception in case it adds any further information:

Code: Select all

System.IO.PathTooLongException: The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters.

 at VaultCmdLineClient.VaultCmdLineClient.ProcessCommand(Args curArg)

I spotted it was thrown from processing a non working folder.

This is the command line that CruiseControl.NET generated:

Code: Select all

Starting process [C:\Program Files\SourceGear\Vault Client\vault.exe] in working directory [D:\CruiseControl.NET.Working\Solutions\Project\Trunk\Working] with arguments [getversion 1590 $/Project/Trunk/ D:\CruiseControl.NET.Working\Solutions\Project\Trunk\Working -merge overwrite -makewritable -backup no -setfiletime checkin -host #host# -user #user# -password #password# -repository #Repository#]

Thanks again!

You could try cloaking them, then they should be ignored during Gets that are done at a folder level. To get on the file then, you would have to directly select it.

Your other option is to shorten the folder names.

Hi Beth,

Thanks for the reply.

I have tried cloaking via the Vault client on my development machine, however, the build server is still getting the cloaked folder when CC.NET does its source control task.

Is cloaking a server level operation or client only?

Many thanks

I have cloaked under the build server account now so hopefully this will crack it.

Thanks

Cloak is a client-level function. If it still gives you problems, just let me know.

Thanks, Cloaking worked a treat.
