Sometimes (eg: if you want to build a list of projects in sequence) it can be convenient to trigger builds from a NAnt script.
For that purpose one can use the launchccnetbuild NAnt task (source available here: LaunchCruiseControlBuildTask.cs).
Example:
<launchccnetbuild serverurl="tcp://buildserver:21234/CruiseManager.rem" projectname="myproject" />
The task works synchronously: it polls the server periodically to check a given project status. A build exception is raised if the build times out or is not successful (although this behavior could easily be altered).
To build a list of projects sequentially and stop the script whenever one project fails to build, you can use something like :
<target name="build.all">
<property name="serverurl" value="tcp://buildserver:21234/CruiseManager.rem" />
<launchccnetbuild serverurl="${serverurl}" projectname="myproject" />
<launchccnetbuild serverurl="${serverurl}" projectname="mysecondproject" />
<launchccnetbuild serverurl="${serverurl}" projectname="mythirdproject" />
</target>
