nightly-build

I am attempting to run a Windows batch script nightly to pull a fresh copy of data to my local hard drive from a Mercurial repository, overwriting any data I have locally. The server on which the repository is located has many repos, so is located in a sub-directory on the server. I have set up PuTTY to use an RSA key so when I log onto the server with PuTTY, I need only enter my username. The batch script has a command: hg pull ssh://myusername@mydomain.com/targetrepo/ ...but this only opens a prompt for me to enter my password. Normally, this would be fine but because the pull will be

I was glad to see that f:ajax now have built in delay support. Not so glad that it doesn't work though. There's a bug that makes it fail, seemingly caused by that the method recieving the specified delay expects a number and not a string. Anyway, it will be fixed in version 2.2.4 but I have no idea how to get that version or if it's even possible before it's publicly released. My question is if someone can explain how to get the nightly build of version 2.2.4 or if there's some workaround. You can get the daily snapshot in flavor of loose library, sources and javadoc JAR files from here: jsf

A build that takes about three hours to complete needs to be scheduled for nightly building outside office hours: not sooner than 22:00 and not later than 3:59 next day. I'd also like to use the "H symbol" to avoid collision with future nightly builds. From in-line help in Jenkins: To allow periodically scheduled tasks to produce even load on the system, the symbol H (for “hash”) should be used wherever possible. For example, using 0 0 * * * for a dozen daily jobs will cause a large spike at midnight. In contrast, using H H * * * would still execute each job once a day, but not all at the same

Why should I do Nightly Builds? Kristopher Johnson You should do nightly builds to ensure that your codebase stays healthy. A side effect of doing nightly builds is that it forces the team to create and maintain a fully automated build script. This helps to ensure that your build process is documented and repeatable. Automated builds are good at finding the following problems: Somebody checked in something that breaks stuff. Somebody forgot to check in a necessary file or change. Your build scripts no longer work. Your build machine is broken. Doing this nightly ensures that you catch such
