Yet another trigger : installTrigger

At work I use CCNet for 2 main different things :
° as Continuous Integration : compile, test, package, code statistics, ...
° as Continuous Installation : install our software at the customers site ( see articles)

For the installation part, I previously changed the ccnet.config to reflect the needed changes. For example change the requested time of a schedule trigger, add the names of the server(s) where to install or not to install the software.
Now this works great, but it is error prone!
Remember ccnet.config is the core configuration of CCNet, a typo there could stop the service. And reviving it is not fun, remember I have a small 100 servers to maintain!!

So the idea came for a new trigger, to remove the parts that change a lot in ccnet.config to another file. Just moving to another file is not enough though, if there is an error in that file, ccnet may not crash. Meaning that using the pre-processor or XML-Entities is out of the question.

Now I already have an xml file for each customer, that holds what software the customer has, what sql server settings are needed, where the software needs to come, ....

Meaning this trigger should just read this xml file, and return the needed things.
I just needed to add the wanted integration time and wanted version to this file, to get it to work.


The new trigger is the InstallTrigger (cool name actually) and is a copy of the schedule trigger with the following extra parts :
° CheckInstallationNeededForProgramToInstall (the name of the program as known in the xml file)
° DeploySettingFilePath : where the xml file is located
° CruiseInstallProject : the corresponding CCNet project name that does the installation (more on this later)
° UpdateDeploySettingsProject : Name of CCNet project that downloads updated xml files from the ftp site
° removed the Time property, as this will come from the xml file


The most important things of the code :
° at start, get the wanted datetime of the xml file, if the date is before today, copy the time part to todays date
° when an integration is done, and the installation failed, get the wanted datetime from the xmlfile, but add 1 day (re-schedule automatically).
° when an integration is done, and the installation was ok, return datetime.maxvalue
° when the UpdateDeploySettingsProject ran, re-read the xml file.
° use datetime.utcNow iso dateTime.Now, this is a LOT faster (look here

Now why I added the CruiseInstallProject property?
One could easily say that this is not needed, because the trigger is inside the project that will install the requested software.
Wrong bet :-)
Remember a previous post : forcing multiple builds at once

So when I want to install, let's say Bookkeeping, also our security module (for login and so) needs to be installed.
So I have the following CCNet projects :
CCNetProjectName InstallTrigger property cruiseInstallProject Tasks
InstallSecurity InstallSecurity install security program
InstallBookKeeping install bookkeeping program
FullInstallBookkeeping InstallBookKeeping
  1. ForceBuild InstallSecurity
  2. ForceBuild InstallBookKeeping

This makes it a lot safer to do the installations, and even gives us an easy way to schedule the same program at different dates/times for different customers.
It is the same CCNet project, just the xml file for the involved customer needs to change.

Below is the code of the InstallTrigger.
