Case being when one or two developers invests the time to work through the perfect automated CI environment. This saves everyone time which gets used up with other more important tasks rather than ensuring everyone is up to speed with how the CI environment works. Of course at first it works reliably until something changes (incompatible tools, upgrade dev environment/platform, new OS, etc.) The original architects of the platform either aren't there any more or have forgotten much of what they did to set it up. Not to argue against investing in it, but be aware of Moore's Law and be sure that everyone reviews and understands the optimizations, even continues to improve on them. Otherwise they'll leave the rest of the company drifting dead in space, kidnapping engineers. "He is smart. He can make it go." http://ayende.com/4710/the-most-amazing-demo-ever#comment12http://ayende.com/4710/the-most-amazing-demo-ever#comment12Thu, 02 Dec 2010 10:19:57 GMTI did the same thing essentially, but I use TeamCity for that combined with a WinSCP script. In essence, this is what happens: Poll the VCS, if there's a new version, run project build sequence project build consists of a psake script (taken from the dotlesscss.org project, which has based build scripts on other work by Ayende, among others I think) When build is successful, run winSCP script which uploads the artifacts to an FTP location. This location can then be published using a php script, asp.net website or whatever. The build itself runs a standard release build, runs the tests (NUnit), merges stuff using ILMerge (to reduce DLL clutter), builds a setup if needed (using WiX) and zips the whole thing using 7-zip. What this gives me is essentially the same thing I think. When I drop something into my git repository (when I push it to my release repo that is) it will run all builds, test it, drop me an e-mail on fails and publishes when the build is successful. And I agree, this does feel amazing, and it gives you time to worry about the important things - building software. http://ayende.com/4710/the-most-amazing-demo-ever#comment11http://ayende.com/4710/the-most-amazing-demo-ever#comment11Thu, 02 Dec 2010 09:44:16 GMTAny chance this talk has ever been recorded? http://ayende.com/4710/the-most-amazing-demo-ever#comment10http://ayende.com/4710/the-most-amazing-demo-ever#comment10Thu, 02 Dec 2010 09:28:40 GMTWas very impressive - and a great talk as well. http://ayende.com/4710/the-most-amazing-demo-ever#comment9http://ayende.com/4710/the-most-amazing-demo-ever#comment9Thu, 02 Dec 2010 09:20:46 GMTHoward, No worries :-) http://ayende.com/4710/the-most-amazing-demo-ever#comment8http://ayende.com/4710/the-most-amazing-demo-ever#comment8Wed, 01 Dec 2010 23:49:14 GMTOren, Bring this talk to the NYC alt.net group! http://ayende.com/4710/the-most-amazing-demo-ever#comment7http://ayende.com/4710/the-most-amazing-demo-ever#comment7Wed, 01 Dec 2010 23:02:44 GMT15 minutes to get the feature published.
