Question

Has anyone ever set up Cruise Control to build an OS X Cocoa/Objective-C project?

If so, is there a preferred flavor of CruiseControl (CruiseControl.rb or just regular CruiseControl) that would be easier to do this with.

I currently have a Ruby rake file that has steps for doing building and running tests, and wanted to automate this process after doing a checkin.

Also, does CruiseControl have support for git? I couldn’t find anything on the website for this.

Yes, you just run xcode builds via the command line (xcodebuild) which makes it simple to target from CC via an ant <exec>. I’ve been using just regular CC, not the ruby version and it works fine. Here’s a barebones example:

<project name='cocoathing' default='build'>   <target name='build'>     <exec executable='xcodebuild' dir='CocoaThing' failonerror='true'>       <arg line='-target CocoaThing -buildstyle Deployment build' />     </exec>   </target> </project> 

More info on xcodebuild

And there does appear to be a standard git object here, but I don’t use git so I can’t tell you much more than that!
