How to quickly get CruiseControl.Net running and driving your selenium test – in 6 steps

This is how you can quickly get CruiseControl.Net running and driving your selenium test – in 6 steps:

  1. Download & Install CruiseControl.Net
  2. Start “CruiseControl.NET Server“ Windows Service
  3. Download SeleniumTest sample project and extract it on a folder C:\Projects\
  4. Edit CruiseControl.NET configuration file (C:\Program Files (x86)\CruiseControl.NET\server\ccnet.config) and replace it with the information in C:\Projects\SeleniumTest\CruiseControl.Net\ccnet.config. Modify it with proper locations of MSBuild.exe, MsBuild.dll and MSTest.exe.
  5. Start selenium server by running C:\Projects\SeleniumTest\SeleniumServerPort4441.bat
  6. Open http://localhost/ccnet and you will see the project SeleniumSearchTest1 click on Force. It should build the project and start the tests.

This is how the ccnet.config file looks:

XML
<cruisecontrol xmlns:cb="urn:ccnet.config.builder">
  <project>
    <name>SeleniumSearchTest1</name>
    <triggers>
      <scheduleTrigger time="23:30" buildCondition="ForceBuild">
        <weekDays>
            <weekDay>Monday</weekDay>
            <weekDay>Tuesday</weekDay>
            <weekDay>Wednesday</weekDay>
            <weekDay>Thursday</weekDay>
            <weekDay>Friday</weekDay>
        </weekDays>
      </scheduleTrigger>
    </triggers>
    <workingDirectory>C:\Projects\SeleniumTest</workingDirectory>
    <tasks>
      <msbuild>
        <executable>C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\MSBuild.exe</executable>
        <workingDirectory>C:\Projects\SeleniumTest</workingDirectory>
        <projectFile>SeleniumTest.sln</projectFile>
        <buildArgs>/noconsolelogger /p:Configuration=Debug /v:diag</buildArgs>
        <targets>Build</targets>
        <timeout>900</timeout>
        <logger>C:\Program Files 
        (x86)\CruiseControl.NET\server\ThoughtWorks.CruiseControl.MsBuild.dll</logger>
      </msbuild>
      <exec>
        <executable>DelResults.bat</executable>
        <baseDirectory>.\</baseDirectory>
      </exec>     
      <exec>
        <executable>C:\Program Files 
        (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\MSTest.exe</executable>        
        <baseDirectory>.\</baseDirectory>
        <buildArgs> /testcontainer:SeleniumSearch\bin\Debug\SeleniumSearch.dll 
        /resultsfile:Results\results1.xml</buildArgs>
      </exec>     
    </tasks>
    <publishers>
      <merge>
        <files>
          <file>.\Results\results1.xml</file>
        </files>
      </merge>
    </publishers>
  </project>
</cruisecontrol>

This example applies for VS 2008 Professional, ccnet 1.5.7256.1 and Selenium RC 1.0.3.
