Running Cruise Control .NET as a Service

Question

I\'ve been configuring and testing CCNet for a little while now using Virtual PC to host it. Everything went well and it was decided to transfer the configuration to a serve

Answer 1

Dave, It is pretty easy to diagnose if CruiseControl is using the password in the config file or not as you will see the command line in the log and the actual password parameter and password if it is being used, and passed to svn. If you have the password and user in the configuration file and they are not being passed, the first thing I would check is that your configuration file is valid and the config file in the file system is what is actually being used. If you make an invalid change to the configuration file, CC.NET just ignores it as long as the service is running and just keeps using the version it has cached internally without any warnings or messages. So again the only way to verify is to look at the config through the web dashboard and make sure it reflects what you expect, or you could bounce the service at which point it will stop and point out your error. In the end though you can work around this as you did though by caching the password with subversion.
