CIBridge is a small app intended to bridge between Source Control Hooks and Continuous integration tools such as Cruise Control / TeamCity
Currently implemented for CodebaseHq and CCNet
- Pull from git
- Download the nuget command line tool http://nuget.codeplex.com/releases/58939/download/222685
- From the solution root run 'nuget i Cargowire.CIBridge\packages.config -o packages' to pull/update dependencies
- Ensure that the configuration AppSettings are correct for the CCNet/TeamCity server
- Run as a public website
- Create a hook within CodebaseHq
- Push a commit
Two key objects are at play. A HookParser and a BuildEngine. HookParsers implement IHookParser and return a small object tree containing repository information. BuildEngines implement BuildEngine and provide the ability to retrieve project build statuses as well as to force a build.
It is intended that the appropriate HookParser will be identified based on the request received. The beginnings of a GitHubHookParser has been created for this purpose.
- Currently the CCNet BuildEngine using the ThoughtWorks dlls fails when attempting to retrieve project statuses
- The ManualCCNet build engine performs posts to the WebDashboard - this works for both force build and retrieving project statuses
- Ideally after receiving a notification the system should hold for a timelimit to see if another quick push is made, to ensure that it is included in the build and does not generate unnnecessary builds
- Additionally on receiving a build command the current activity should be checked and the build put 'on hold' until it returns to sleep
