<p>For most uses the following is all you'll need in your <a href="Configuring the Server.html" title="Configuring the Server"><tt>ccnet.config</tt></a>:</p>
|
|
<div class="code panel" style="border-width: 1px;"><div class="codeContent panelContent">

|
<pre class="code-xml"><span class="code-tag"><sourcecontrol type=<span class="code-quote">"clearCase"</span>></span>

|
|
<p>This will:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>monitor ClearCase for any changes on the viewPath or below</li>
|
|
<li>retrieve the lastest source from ClearCase when any changes are detected</li>
|
|
<li>apply a label to the built files at the end of the build</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p><a name="RationalClearCaseSourceControlBlock-viewPath"></a><br/>
|
|
The <tt><viewPath></tt> specifies a directory on your filesystem that CCNet monitors for changes. The path must be a versioned object. CCNet checks the actual VOB for changes, not the local filesystem.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><tt><viewPath></tt> doesn't have to be the root of the local ClearCase view. It may be any of the root's children or even a single object.</p>

<h4><a name="RationalClearCaseSourceControlBlock-CommonProblems"></a>Common Problems</h4>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h5><a name="RationalClearCaseSourceControlBlock-Thebuildisinitiatedwhenuserscheckinonprivatebranches"></a>The build is initiated when users check in on private branches</h5>
|
|
|
|
<p>By default, ClearCase returns a history for every file in every branch, even if the config spec limits to a single branch. You must specify <tt><branch></tt> in order to limit which changes CCNet can see.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h5><a name="RationalClearCaseSourceControlBlock-AfterthebuildissuccessfulIgeta%22Baselinenotfound%22errormessage."></a>After the build is successful I get a "Baseline not found" error message.</h5>
|
|
|
|
<p>An example of this message is:</p>
|
|
<div class="preformatted panel" style="border-width: 1px;"><div class="preformattedContent panelContent">
|
|
<pre>ThoughtWorks.CruiseControl.Core.CruiseControlException: Source control operation failed:
|
|
cleartool: Error: Baseline not found: "CruiseControl.NETTemporaryBaseline_05-06-2004-16-34-15".
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</div></div>
|
|
<p>This happens when <tt><projectVobName></tt> is not set to the project VOB. Typically this happens when the user specifies the UCM VOB instead of the project VOB.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>To correct the problem, change the value in that element to the name of the project VOB.</p>

<h5><a name="RationalClearCaseSourceControlBlock-WhenIviewmybaselines%2CIseethatthey%27recalled%7B%7BCruiseControl.NET%5Csomething%5C%7D%7Dinsteadof%7B%7Bv1.0.0.4%7D%7D."></a>When I view my baselines, I see that they're called <tt>CruiseControl.NET[something]</tt> instead of <tt>v1.0.0.4</tt>.</h5>
|
|
|
|
<p>This is a bug in ClearCase; Rational is aware of it. It only occurs if you're using baselines.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>CCNet creates a temporary baseline with the prefix <tt>CruiseControl.NET</tt> before renaming it to the final value, such as <tt>v1.5.2.3</tt>. Depending on how you view baselines in ClearCase, you may see the temporary or real name.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>For example, if you use the admin console, you'll see the old, temporary value. If use use <tt>cleartool lsbl</tt>, you'll see the correct one:</p>

<h5><a name="RationalClearCaseSourceControlBlock-CruiseControl.NETseescheckinsonallbranches%2Cnotjusttheonespecifiedinmyconfigspec"></a>CruiseControl.NET sees checkins on all branches, not just the one specified in my config spec</h5>
|
|
|
|
<p>This is due to the fact that the ClearCase history command (lshist) returns a complete history for the file, not just the history that can be seen by the config spec.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The workaround is to make sure you include a <tt><branch></tt> element in your configuration. This will force ccnet to just see changes on that branch.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h5><a name="RationalClearCaseSourceControlBlock-CruiseControl.NETdoesn%27tseemychanges"></a>CruiseControl.NET doesn't see my changes</h5>
|
|
|
|
<p>Make sure the clock of your build server is synchronised to the clock of your ClearCase server. See <a href="http://jira.public.thoughtworks.org/browse/CCNET-271">CCNET-271</a>.</p>
