[Dart] one problem left with Nightly Builds: always 0 cvs updates

[Miller, James V (GE, Research)]

Alex, 

The update should capture any code changes that occurred in the 24 hours previous
to the (last) NIGHTLY_START_TIME.  The time between the NIGHTLY_START_TIME and the 
cron job should largely be irrelevant.  In fact, any changes checked in during this
30 minute period should only appear on the nightly for the next day.

Note that if your source tree has already been updated (for instance, if you manually
did a cvs update in the tree), then the Nightly build will have nothing to update.
We usually use a separate source/build tree for testing from our usually development
trees.

Can you try do a 

> ctest -V -D Nightly

from your build tree?

This will print out information about how ctest is determining the time to use for the
update command.

Jim

updates


Hi,

at first I had the problem that when my cron job started which does "make Nightly" it always pulled the sources from one day before.
Now the cronjob starts at 2:30 am german time.
I put the following in my CMakeLists.txt:

SET(NIGHTLY_START_TIME "00:01:00 GMT")

Now this works good so far, i.e. it builds everyday with the current sources. 
The only problem left now is that the "Update" column for the Nightly Builds always shows a "0".
I guess this is also related to the date (since there have been 0 updates between NIGHTLY_START_TIME and the time when the cron job starts.
The directory where the nightly build happens is cleared everytime before the build starts. Is this ok ?

Any hints why I see "0 Updates" ?

Bye
Alex

P.S. unit tests (using CxxTest) are also already working, now I'd like to integrate KWStyle, but haven't found docs yet...
