Question

Im trying out the Hudson Continuous Integration. After the build is executed i want to copy the content of the ReleaseBuild to another website on the server.

This should be possible i guess but i cant seem figure it out.

I know this can be done in nAnt and msbuild but i need to make Hudson do it, eg plugin or something.

Anyone?

Hudson doesn’t have a built in copy to some random location task so you have the following options

• Add another nant/msbuild step that does the deploy
• Install the Post Build Plugin and call a .cmd file to do your deploy
• Use the Copy Archiver Plugin to do the copy – more specific than the post build plugin. (Thanks @nos)

The extra task in your nant file is probably the best option as nant can control IIS and do the right thing rather than just copying the files into a folder.
