Slow VaultLabel NAnt Task

[chris.bradley]

I've been doing some research into the speed of our continuous integration server (Cruise Control) and found something really strange.

When I execute the following nAnt script to apply a label to a folder in vault, it takes almost a minute to execute. Running this same command from the Vault Client takes about a second. Any idea why this might be?

<vaultsetloginoptions
user="myBuildUser"
password="myBuildPassword"
URL="http://myVaultServer/VaultService"
repository="Evolution" />

<vaultlabel
objectPath="$/dvt-aristo/${release.version}/${module.name}"
labelName="${module.name} ${version}" />

Also, the .chm documentation inside the NantTasks for Fortress doesn't seem to work. WHenever you open a topic you get a "Address is not valid" page on the right.

Thanks,
Chris

What version of Fortress are you using?

Check the the Fortress server log, which is sgvault.log in %windir%\temp\sgvault on the server machine to see if there are any errors that correspond to the slow labeling with Nant.

Regarding the .chm issue, I just downloaded the 1.1.4 NAnt Tasks and the .chm seems fine. You might have a corrupt file, unless this was from a previous version.

Hey Linda, we're running Fortress Client and Server 1.1.4.18402

I did check the server log but nothing interesting in there, just a login message when the build starts, and then a logout message about 2 minutes later when it finishes. It's really strange - I can't think of anything that would cause this to slow down. Should I be looking at settings for using working folders or something?

Oh, I did check the helpfile and you're right; it's fine. Vista had a security prompt showing up which I was ignorining. Once I answered this prompt to allow the helpfile to open, it was fine.

Or maybe do I need to specifiy the versionId when I call vaultlabel? Any idea what I would pass if I was trying to get this variable from Cruise Control?

We're still not sure if Vault Server is being slow or if NAnt is being slow. The best way to tell would be with a debug server log, which shows every transaction. This setting is in the Admin Web Client under Server Settings->Logging->Debug. After you enable logging, run the label from the Vault Client, then from the NAnt script. Send the log that covers these transactions zipped up to support at sourcegear.com, Attn: Linda. Please include a link to this forum post. Let me know what time in the log you did each of these operations.
