We are using SAW (SourceAnyWhere) for source control, and right now going to implement the CI (Continous Integration) for our project using CruiseControl.NET (CC.Net).
In the CruiseControl.NET maunal nothing is specified for the SAW, So my question is what i have to use for TYPE for Source Control Blocks.

For Eg:
<sourcecontrol type="What to be specified over here for SAW">
..........................
</sourcecontrol>


Thanks
In Advance

Hi there,

We know that at least several SourceAnywhere for VSS customers have successfully integrated our product into Cruise Control. But currently we are not familiar with Cruise Control. We will look into that.

Thanks.

We have just developed the SourceAnywhere Standalone plug-in for CruiseControl.NET. We are working on the SourceAnywhere for VSS plug-in for CruiseControl.NET. We will post information here when it is ready to rock.

Thanks.

Hi there,

any update about a SAW cruise control plugin ?

I am developping my own one but limitation on CommandLine Client of SAW Pro for VSS can't let me achieve it :

As the Cruise control VSS sourcecontrol plugin, we need from SAW command line client :
- to be able to add / modify / delete a label (currently there's no way to delete or rename a previous label)
- listing history between two builds with more than a dozen modifications causes the command line client to prompt unecessary "Press any key to continue" leading Cruise control to throw an Exception for a Process Timeout (SawVCmd.exe has timed out). There's currently no switch in saw client to tell it to don't prompt this pause !!!
- Process exit code equals 1 when operation suceed wheras others clients supported by cruise control exits with exit code 0. Developpers need to override ProcessInfo.ProcessSuccessful method else no integration will work.

I've done 90% of the plugin in less than a day, I hope that you will update quickly the SAW command line client with a switch to let us build projects with more than 10 modifications !!

Hi Yannick,

For the issues listed by you:

1. VSS API does not expose any functions to change an existing label, so technically, SourceAnywhere for VSS cannot provide such functions.

2. We are looking at the issue

3. We are looking at the issue.

We will post the result here very soon.

Thanks a lot.

I don't know anything about VSS API but SS.exe (sourcesafe command line client) expose a label command with a flag -VL<oldlabel> to allow users to modify a label given differents parameters (you can use revision number, a date or in this case : an old label)

Maybe you should look into this way (I know this could sound as a freaky trick but why don't call directly ss.exe just for edit the label ?)

I'm really waiting feedback about 2 and 3 cause i have an entire production site blocked as we can't compile the project due to this simple pause instruction into SAWVCMS.exe ! Please could you send me an internal release for testing ASAP ?

Thanks in advance
Yannick

We will send you an internal version next week.

Thanks.

Hi Yannick,

We have sent you the internal version of SourceAnywhere for VSS command line client. Please check your mail box.

Thanks.

Hi,

I totally forgot to let you know that thanks to the second internal version you sent me, my cruise control plugin os now functionnal.

I had to bypass some limitation of the VSS API as Saw wasn't able to apply label and overwrite a previous label but i'm glad that now builds times have been improved of about a ratio of 5 !

Before : 25 minutes
After : 5 minutes

I'm still experiencing issues with unicode support as SAW currently doesn't like é è à and others characters of the french alphabet but rigth now our Cruise control server is back in business.

Many thanks to the support team for their support and time to help us figuring out the small problems !

Look forward the next official release of SAW (with the necessary updates to Saw command line client).

Thank you for getting back to us. We are happy to hear that your Cruise Control plug-in for SourceAnywhere for VSS is functional.

For the Unicode support feature, we will consider adding it into the next release.

Thanks.

We are also working in Cruisecontrol integration with SourceAnyWhere for vss. Please update the status about CruiseControl plugin for SAW or Send the internal build of your plugin if the implementation is still in process.

Thanks in Advance ...

Hi,

We will release SourceAnywhere for VSS 5.4, which includes the CruiseControl.NET Plug-in, in several weeks. If you'd like to try it now, you can contact us at sawvss@dynamsoft.com so we can email you.

Thanks.

Thank you for your response. We need CC.NET plugin only. It would be good if you send the status about that..

Hi,

Currently, the new version is under test. We will keep you updated on it.

Thanks.

New version 5.4 has been released
Support of Cruise control .net has been added.

You need to download and install SAW SDK and then install SAW Cruise control plugin.

One note however, the localized version of VSS returned custom strings for "added", "modified", "deleted", leading SAW plugin to label each modification by an "unknown" enum element in the column type (Cruise control build report webpage).

Catherine can you please forward this to the developers in order to release a new version of the plugin that would support localized version of VSS ? (French in my case)
