Sounds like you’re traveling far out of your way to do something which has been done thousands of times before.

Our CC.NET projects call on NAnt tasks or FinalBuilder projects which are delegated the responsibility of doing the clean, prep, build, test and deploy of our code.

CruiseControl is an excellent Continuous Integration system. It’s a shit build system. It suggest calling your NUnit testing from NAnt rather than directly from CC.NET. It provides you with a lot more flexibility, and there countless resources on the net about how to do exactly this.

TBH, i haven’t encountered the Shadow Copy Cache problem in our integration server, only on development machines…..The NAnt/NUnit combination has worked perfectly for us.

-xerx

My problem is CC.net doesnt allow me to pass the /noshadow option to NUnit, and NUnit requires the f***ing cache to be present. And of course the root of all evil, MSBuild.exe doesn’t cache the build files properly. All in all its a huge mind blast.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
