Question

this is my first time i am using Cruise Control, so maybe i did not understand it properly. I want to start a large PowerShell script, that builds some VM Images. And it would be really cool, if i could have a look at it via cruise control.
I allready googled the stuff and i found stuff like this: http://qaquestions.wordpress.com/2011/03/18/cruisecontrol-net-powershell-tasks/
but now:
Where exactly do i put these xml statements? I thought, i had to create a new project tag in CC config.xml and specify the script and location. But when i start the queue it says, that powershell is a unknown plugin, but i have CC 2.5+ and PS should be supported since 1.5.
I am just not quite sure, what to do :/

Answer 1

This is the absolute minimum project definition necessary to run a powershell task in Cruise Control .NET. I would assume it is probably fairly similiar in Cruise Control.

<project name="Run some powershell scripts">
    <tasks>
        <powershell>
            <scriptsDirectory>path to scripts folder</scriptsDirectory>
            <script>script to run</script>
        </powershell>
    </tasks>
</project>

Place this project definition in your config file (ccnet.config for Cruise Control .NET)
