Cruisecontrolrb users - Jun 2010 - Scheduling a nightly build - config options

Hello,

I downloaded the latest cruisecontrol.rb from github and tried configuring a
schedule for building every 24 hours.

Below is my project specific cruise_config.rb.  What''s happening is,
cruisecontrol.rb is not honoring the polling_interval of 1.day and it keeps
building continuously (true to it''s nautre of continuous buids), which
I assume it''s using the default polling interval of 5 minutes.

Am I missing any other configuration options to make it build only on the
specified time period?

Also, another question is how does the project.triggered_by
ScheduledBuildTrigger work? Can I combine this with the polling_interval of
1.day and always_build or are these mutually exclusive options?

Thanks,
Kannan


cruise_config.rb at project level
--------------------------------------------

# Project-specific configuration for CruiseControl.rb

Project.configure do |project|

  # Send email notifications about broken and fixed builds to email1 at
your.site, email2 at your.site (default: send to nobody)
  project.email_notifier.emails = [''krishnan.kannan at
mydomain.com'']

  # Set email ''from'' field to john at doe.com:
  project.email_notifier.from = ''cruisecontrolrb at
mydomain.com''

  # Build the project by invoking rake task ''custom''
  #project.rake_task = ''all_unit_tests''

  # Build the project by invoking shell script "build_my_app.sh". Keep
in mind that when the script is invoked,
  # current working directory is
<em>[cruise&nbsp;data]</em>/projects/your_project/work, so if
you do not keep build_my_app.sh
  # in version control, it should be ''../build_my_app.sh''
instead
  project.build_command =
''/var/ci/cruise/config/build_acceptance_tests.sh''

  # Force the project always build once every day and always build whether there
are source control changes or not
  project.scheduler.polling_interval = 1.day
  project.scheduler.always_build = true

  #
  # Force the project to check for source control changes every given time
interval, but NOT build if there are no changes
  # project.triggered_by ScheduledBuildTrigger.new(project, :build_interval
=> 5.minutes, :start_time => 2.minutes.from_now)

I think you do like this:

project.triggered_by ScheduledBuildTrigger.new(project, :build_interval =>
24.hours, :start_time => Time.now)

You can now use default polling I believe.

I also found this, discussing the difference among the approaches:
