NAnt trouble with checkin

CharlesNewman · Post by **CharlesNewman** » Fri Jan 06, 2006 11:00 pm

I am using NAnt and Vault 3.0.6. I want to checkin an entire project folder at once and have so far been unsucessful. Is this possible?

NAnt task:

<vaultcheckin url:="http://localhost" username="admin" password="admin" repository="Default Repository" path="$/BuildingSolution" diskfile="c:\projects\BuildingSolution"

when I execute NAnt I get the following error:
The folder $/BuildingSolution could not be checked in.

The project remains checked out in the Vault client. I can use the exact same task but specify a specific file and it checks in fine.

Thanks in advance!

Can you checkin the entire project using the Vault Client?

I am able to checkin the whole project using the Vault Client GUI.

Charles,

It looks like the checkin task does not support the distpath attribute. It works only on the user's current working folder.

Ian,

Thanks for the reply. So if I am understanding correctly, I will have to checkin each individual file if I want to checkin via a NAnt build?

Only if you need to use a non-working directory. If you leave off the diskfile attribute, Vault will attempt to checkin the file using the user's working directory, which should work fine.

So using your example:

user: admin
Repository Path: $/BuildingSolution
disk path: c:\projects\BuildingSolution

If you set the admin user's working for $/BuildingSolution to c:\projects\BuildingSolution and remove the diskfile attribute from your nant checkin, it should work.

Is there a separate NAnt task that sets the working directory?

Can you give me example tasks?

Thanks!

There's no NAnt task to set a working folder, but you can do it with the command-line client (from NAnt) if you need to automate it.

The vault command looks like this:

Code: Select all

vault setworkingfolder $/BuildingSolution c:\projects\BuildingSolution -user admin -password admin -host localhost -repository "Default Repository"

So to run this from NAnt you'd do something like this:

Code: Select all

<exec workingdir="c:\projects\BuildingSolution" program="C:\Program Files\SourceGear\Vault Client\vault.exe" >
	<arg line="setworkingfolder $/BuildingSolution c:\projects\BuildingSolution -user admin -password admin -host localhost -repository "Default Repository"" />
</exec>
