Description/Features

This plugin will allow you to configure a single Bamboo instance handle building both your Java and .Net projects, which is especially useful if you have multi-disciple teams in your organization.

Prerequisites

In order to use the NAnt Builder, you must first install NAnt, which can be obtained from http://nant.sourceforge.net. In addition, you will also need to install an
appropriate version of the .Net framework, which can be downloaded from http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/netframework/aa569263.aspx or the Mono framework, which can be downloaded from http://www.mono-project.com/Downloads.

This plugin has been tested using .Net Framework v2.0 on Windows XP and Mono v1.2 on OS X using both Bamboo v1.0.5 and v1.1. If you encounter any difficulties with this builder on other platforms, please let me know and I'll endeavor to resolve the issue.

Usage

NAnt

1. Copy the nant_builder-1.0.0.jar file into your <BAMBOO_HOME>/webapp/WEB-INF/lib directory and restart Bamboo
2. Create a new NAnt Builder via the Builders tab on the Administration page. You should be able to select NAnt as a builder type, you will need to enter a label and include the location to the path to the NAnt directory.
   
3. Once you have created a NAnt Builder, you can configure a project to use this builder via the Builder Configuration tab of the Configuration page. Here you can specify the name of the build file, the target to execute, NAnt options, environment variables, and the working sub directory.
   

NUnit

1. If your build produces NUnit test results, then enter the location of the test result files on the Builder Configuration tab.
   

The builder will run in the same manner as the Ant and Maven builders ie. the build output will be captured by Bamboo and displayed on the Build Log page. A build will be deemed 'successful' (and thereby appear in the shiny green colour) if the NAnt build finishes with a return code of 0 and if the last 5 lines of the NAnt build include the words 'BUILD SUCCEEDED'. In addition, if the build has been configured to run NUnit tests, a build will be deemed successful if all the tests pass. If any of these conditions are not met, then the build will be deemed to have 'failed'.

devenv.com

I've also included a devenv.com builder as well, which works in the same sort of way as the NAnt Builder and includes the support for parsing and recording NUnit test results. The devenv.com executable is included as part of Microsoft Visual Studio and allows you to build a Visual Studio Solution from the command line.

You first need to add the Builder via the Administration page

Once the builder has been added, you can use this builder in your build's Configuration.
