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:

Download & Install CruiseControl.Net
Start “CruiseControl.NET Server“ Windows Service
Download SeleniumTest sample project and extract it on a folder C:\Projects\
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.
Start selenium server by running C:\Projects\SeleniumTest\SeleniumServerPort4441.bat
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:

        <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>
