A couple of questions (scheduling etc)

FinalBuilder Discussion
1

Hello,

 

I now how to use FinalBuilder to work with NUnit and some similar tools, but I want to do a few extra things:

 

With regards to workflow orchestration, when I want to kick off the whole build thing from FinalBuilder, would the below be the right order of tasks?

 

Execute a build from FinalBuilder, which: Checks in code to source control > CI (in my case cruisecontrol.net) gets the latest build > unit testing, documentation etc generated

So I say check my files in, then I setup cruisecontrol task from finalbuilder and get the latest source code, and then do all my testing and document generation etc.

I'm looking to use FinalBuilder to sechedule a weekly build which would, amongst several tasks, also burn my code to a DVD for safety purposes.

 

BTW I use finalbuilder standard. Is it possible to upgrade to finalbuilder pro? Does finalbuilder pro use the same shell as finalbuilder standard? IE unlocks new features in standard.

 

Thanks

Hi

Yes, you can do that, whether that is the right order of tasks is up to you.

CruiseControl has a FinalBuilder Task so it can have FinalBuilder to the actual build process. I would of course also recommend you take a look at FinalBuilder Server.

As for upgrading from Std to Pro, the cost is the difference between the editions. You will just have to install the new key, and then use the package manager (on the tools menu) to load the Pro only packages.

 Hi,

 

I did take a look at finalbuilder server and even brought the software, but then realised I didn't have a compatible os! Does finalbuilder server work with windows web server 08? I am thinking of buying that (useful for web apps and for my Microsoft certification ambitions.
