New Post: Map project names to more human friendly names

digdug — Mon, 31 Dec 2012 14:18:45 GMT

Using the description is a good idea; in fact I think that would work the best.

I did a little research, looks like they pulled that rename config setting from bvc in version 0.7...

Hi all

would the CCNet 'Description' property not be of use here?
I mean : there is a description in CCNet, why not use it

this way a lot of the config is still in CCNet

we have the project name, the project description

what other 'name' would you like to see in an external app like Cradiator
just to reduce the amount of config one must do when adding / removing projects

just a thought :-)

with kind regards

digdug,

Not to harp on it too much, but you have obviously added your own private setting called "ProjectNameSubstitutions" - or obtained the code to do that from some other source.

I just downloaded BVC from the GoogleCode page and find no such setting (http://code.google.com/p/bigvisiblecruise/downloads/list)

Nor is it in the source - http://code.google.com/p/bigvisiblecruise/source/browse/trunk/src/BigVisibleCruise/Properties/Settings.settings

Now that we know it's not a feature of BVC, maybe you can code it for Cradiator too? ;-)

I don't think it would be hard at all. It would be quite similar to the "username mapping" feature I did
	<usernames>
		<add key="jsmith" value="John Smith"/>
	</usernames>	
https://github.com/PandaWood/Cradiator/blob/master/src/Cradiator/app.config

Do make the config look just like the username mapping, though - that crazy, verbose XML you've got there (ArrayString, SerializeAs) for such a simple idea, would kill me ;-)

Hence this setting is not mirrored in Cradiator. It didn't exist to be mirrored.

Yeah, you can. Here's an example of the config we have.

	<applicationSettings>		<BigVisibleCruise.Properties.Settings>

			<setting name="PollFrequency" serializeAs="String">
				<value>00:02:00</value>
			</setting>
			<setting name="Dashboard" serializeAs="String">
				<value>http://build/ccnet/XmlStatusReport.aspx</value>
			</setting>
			<setting name="ProjectNamesToInclude" serializeAs="Xml">
				<value>
					<ArrayOfString xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
					  xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
						<string>DEV-BUILD-01 Build</string>
					</ArrayOfString>
				</value>
			</setting>
			<setting name="ProjectNameSubstitutions" serializeAs="Xml">
			        <value>
			          <ArrayOfString xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
						<string>DEV-BUILD-01 Build=Team1</string>

			          </ArrayOfString>

			        </value>
		      </setting>
		</BigVisibleCruise.Properties.Settings>
	</applicationSettings>

We have multiple team builds in complex multi-stage ci environment, so I know I could just change the name of the build projects on ccnet but I want detailed names on the ccnet build projects and just team names on the board so that anyone (even outside of dev) can walk by and see the current status. Anyway I thought it was a great feature in BVC and just wondering if it was mirrored here since I thought these projects came from the same source. Thanks,

Hi,

Actually, I don't believe BVC could map project names to something else. Can you copy in something from your BVC config that does it? (I mean, I have the latest BVC release here and I can't see anything to do that).

I'm pretty sure I didn't take away any features, BVC specifically wanted to avoid feature overkill and left it very basic.

There's a fair amount of documentary explanation of features in the app.config - http://cradiator.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/view/76924#982856 - though bear in mind, I host the code on github now, which I hope is pretty clear.

I should make the documentation in app.config more findable - I see CodePlex has convenienty deleted the "Release Notes" section from their website design since I last checked, which would have made it a little easier.

But back to your issue, I allow mapping of usernames to friendly names, because that's not easy to control - but if I understand you correctly, I don't see much point in mapping project names. It could be misleading and you could just as easily change the project name to something friendly yourself?

Hey,

I'm looking at changing our build screen from big visible cruise to cradiator. BVC had a feature where you could map the project names to more human friendly names. Can you do that in cradiator? I don't see much documentation.

Hi ,

I would find this an extremely useful addition.

Currently, it seems impossible to view the xaml for the skins in VS2010.

Do you have any advice on how this could be achieved ?

New Post: Setting Cradiator for TeamCity

pandawood — Mon, 19 Mar 2012 05:16:13 GMT

I didn't know first up, but when I right-click on a TeamCity project URL in my browser and copy the link, it gives me:
http://teamcity/project.html?projectId=project2&tab=projectOverview

Which has a projectId in it (project2)

Created Issue: memory leak [6328]

Lazydev — Tue, 15 Mar 2011 21:45:04 GMT

The longer cradiator runs the more memory it consumes

Created Issue: If one cruise control endpoint is down, no information is shown on the state of jobs on the other endpoints. [6271]

TaffyDownUnder — Thu, 24 Feb 2011 04:54:43 GMT

I have Cradiator running and it monitors two build machines (i.e. 2 urls are specified in the config) one running CruiseControl the other running Hudson. If one of the build machines is taken off-line, Cradiator doesn't display the status of jobs on the other build machine, instead it displays connection problem.

It would be useful if Cradiator kept displaying the status of jobs on all the machines that are up and displayed the "Connection Problem" in a red tile in the display.

yet another update
show out of date projects
https://github.com/RubenWillems/Cradiator/commit/3adee72d4164f3884160116fbe91fa4ebd4888a4

suppose you do a forced scheduled build at 22:00 hours on all build servers,
and for some reason on a build server this did not happen (build server down during that time for example)
this setting shows the out of date ones, regardless if the state is ok or broken
makes it easier to see that all packages are done or not.

For the moment there are the updates I did on cradiator, feel free to contact me for explanation, info, ...

any feedback is appreciated.

New Post: Cradiator Team City Install

mar10 — Fri, 18 Feb 2011 15:13:22 GMT

Hi there, I've read through the post above as I have issues trying to install Cradiator. We are currently using TeamCity 6.0.1 so perhaps this is the problem as I've done everything above. Do you know if Cradiator works with TC 6.0.1?

I enabled the guest account and I can access our TC server with http://<tc_server_ip>/guestAuth/. I have the jar file and I put it into <TeamCityServerDirectory>\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\lib\ and I restarted our TeamCity server. I can still access http://<tc_server_ip>/guestAuth/ however when I put in http://<tc_server_ip>/guestAuth/cradiator.html?projectId=project39 or any other project id I get a 404 page.

Thanks for any help.

Another update

https://github.com/RubenWillems/Cradiator/commit/43f604a914bed5c303df220026e7be095fb6a06e

Ability to filter on servername, and show the servername.
This comes in handy if you have a project with the same name on different build servers
example : FullCompileProjectX on a windows build server and on a Linux Build Server

If you set up ShowOnlyBroken, and ShowServerName=True, it will show the projectName and the buildservername
so you know on what server the project is broken.

Below is the latest push on github of my fork :

https://github.com/RubenWillems/Cradiator/commit/4ba5244632ed4f7ff6dcb342de74412359ae521f

This has all the current functionality of Cradiator with the showOnlyBroken feature.
I'm starting to work on more features, so you can easily follow what code changes you want to include in your releases.
