We are currently using a web deployment project to compile the projects in our solution and deploy our website. We’d like to move to using CruiseControl .NET to give us the abilities to automate the builds, add testing, and initiate/review them from a website interface. Currently the web deployment project has project references to all of the projects (70+) and then has a remote DeployPath. This ends up running aspnet_compile and aspnet_merge and dropping the files (assemblies + markup) on our remote server.
I’d like to simulate this behavior with CC but I can’t figure out how to do it. I’ve tried using the wdproj as a target of msbuild (in hopes that it would just build and work) but that seems to fail. I have a hunch I’m going to need a NAnt task or something of the sort to perform the compile/merge steps.
Could someone point me in the right direction?
I ended up using msbuild to run AspNetCompile and AspNetMerge. By just pointing to the correct web folder it found the appropriate dependencies. Thanks for the help guys!
