Please make sure that NAnt is executed using the XmlLogger (use the argument: -logger:NAnt.Core.XmlLogger).

hi guys,

i am a little confused. Our Nant Build and Timing logs from dashboard
contains this error message (Please make sure that NAnt is executed
using the XmlLogger (use the argument: -logger:NAnt.Core.XmlLogger).)
and i have read from the documentation that when a nant task was
invoked by ccnet, it already uses such logger. any ideas?

<tasks>
<nant>
<executable>tools\nant\nant.exe</executable>
<baseDirectory>c:\dev\elcs</baseDirectory>
<buildFile>elcs.build</buildFile>
<buildArgs>-D:publish.dir=c:\dev\bin\elcs</buildArgs>
<targetList>
<target>full</target>
</targetList>
<buildTimeoutSeconds>1800</buildTimeoutSeconds>
</nant>
</tasks>

i'm using CCNET 1.0 by the way, no time to upgrade yet. Thanks!

verify that you use the Xml Log Publisher: <xmllogger /> in the
publishers block.

[jokiz]

i have it,

<publishers>
<merge>
<files>
<file>c:\dev\elcs\build\test-reports\*.xml</file>
</files>
</merge>
<xmllogger />
</publishers>

from what i understand, NAnt produces it's own log file (an *.log
file), i can't find any switch for it to generate its xml logs so i can
output it to my test-reports folder to be merged with the ccnet logs

[jokiz]

was able to fix it when i added a logger switch for the nant task, i
thought when ccnet is the one executing a nant task, it automatically
uses such logger.

[jokiz]

thought i fixed it, it only shows nant output and timings for a forced
build, for a build caused by detected modifications, it still shows no
nant outputs/timings report

[jokiz]

btw: the merged logs from nant is noticeable in a build log without the
nant outputs like this:

found out that it was a bug with Nant which is now fixed with 0.85
release
