Question

I have the msbuild plugin installed on my Hudson server, and it’s attempting to execute the command, but for some reason the path I’m setting in my configuration is not being used when the msbuild task gets fired.

I have the following set in the configuration of hudson’s msbuild plugin:

Path To msbuild.exe C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\msbuild.exe

I left the name property blank.

When I do a build it outputs this:

Executing command: cmd.exe /C msbuild.exe /p:Configuration=Release …

Which I know is wrong because all the other examples show the [msbuild.exe] part fully qualified.

I’ve been searching everywhere trying to figure out why this isn’t getting set properly and I’ve hit a brick wall.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

This works for me:

• in the main hudson configuration I
  set the name to local-msbuild and
  the path to msbuild to
  C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\msbuild.exe

• select the local-msbuild as the MsBuild Versionin each project, instead of (default)
