Is anyone out there using VisualBuild with Hudson? if yes than could you please share your experiences?

So that command is enough to drive the build using Hudson and VisualBuild?

[kinook]

It worked in our tests.

Hi,

I am getting following error while running the VBP 7 build script with hudson

Started by user anonymous
Building on master
Cleaning the workspace because project is configured to clean the workspace before each build.
[Projects] $ cmd /c call C:\Users\pxa\AppData\Local\Temp\hudson677262359623 2071190.bat

d:\Hudson\Projects>"D:\VisBuildPro7\VisBuildCmd.exe" /b "C:\Build_Scripts\abc_Build.bld"
The system cannot find the path specified.

d:\Hudson\Projects>exit 3
[DEBUG] Skipping watched dependency update for build: SapphireBuilds #43 due to result: FAILURE
Finished: FAILURE

[Shiamak]

path exists cause I tried to run the path

d:\Hudson\Projects>"D:\VisBuildPro7\VisBuildCmd.exe" /b "C:\Build_Scripts\Sapphire_Build.bld"

manually , it worked fine?..any clues?

[kinook]

Hudson is calling abc_Build.bld, while the direct call is calling Sapphire_Build.bld?

[Shiamak]

Sapphire_Build.bld should have been replaced by abc.bld, I didnt want to display sapphire_build.bld..

Not sure, I guess one of those paths is not valid on "master"? The sample command from the Jenkins/Hudson section of http://www.kinook.com/VisBuildPro/Manual/continteg.htm worked properly in my tests on Windows 7 x64 w/ Visual Build Pro 8.4 x64 and Hudson 3.0.1 installed.

When specifying an invalid exe, I got:

'"C:\Program Files\VisBuildPro8\VisBuildCmdx.exe"' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

When specifying an invalid bld file, I got:

Error loading project file: Failed to open 'C:\Program Files\VisBuildPro8\Samples\RegEditx.bld': The system cannot find the file specified.

Both of those are different than your error message, so I'm not sure which path Hudson is complaining about.

It works for me now, I am not really sure what made it work...I didnt change anything just rebooted my windows server.

Thanks for your prompt reply...
