BuildUpdate

Summary

Manages a bash script that update the current build environment based on TeamCity artifact dependencies.

Ubuntu 12.04 Install Requirements

1. sudo apt-get install ruby1.9.1 ruby1.9.1-dev libxml2-dev libxslt-dev
2. sudo update-alternatives --config ruby (and select ruby 1.9.1)
3. sudo gem install bundler
4. git clone https://github.com/chrisvire/BuildUpdate
5. cd BuildUpdate
6. bundle install
7. sudo bundle exec gem pristine nokogiri (this removes a warning about library incompatibility)

Windows Install Requirements

1. You need a way to run shell scripts, e.g. Cygwin or msysgit (which includes Git Bash)
2. install Ruby (http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/)
3. gem install bundler
4. git clone https://github.com/chrisvire/BuildUpdate
5. cd BuildUpdate
6. bundle install

Create the shell script

1. Create a buildupdate.sh script in your build directory with configuration (see below).
2. Run the buildupdate.rb script to update buildupdate.sh with all of the calls to update the current build environment.
3. Commit the buildupdate.sh script to source control.

When you change the dependencies

1. Run buildupdate.rb, as in

c:\dev\bloom> c:\dev\bin\BuildUpdate\buildupdate.rb -f buildupdate.sh

The updated version of buildupdate.sh will be part of your commit.

When you change branches

1. Run buildupdate.sh to get the correct dependencies for that branch.

File format

The configuration is in comments at the beginning of the file. Use the variables:

• server: specifies the the hostname of the TeamCity Server
• project: the name of the TeamCity project
• build: the name of the TeamCity build configuration
• build_type: the internal TeamCity buildType id

You can either specify project & build, or specify build_type.

You can declare different values for these parameters for each OS (windows, linux, osx, unix). The most specific will be used. For example:

#!/bin/bash
# server=build.palaso.org
# project=WeSay Windows
# build.windows=WeSay-win32-1.4-continuous
# build.linux=WeSay-precise64-DefaultMono Continuous
