Cannot get BVC to run... what am I doing wrong?
Hi all,
Maybe I am being obtuse here, but I cannot get BVC to run, and cannot find any info on how to configure it or CC to accomplish the task.
We are running cc on a Linux box, and I am trying to run BVC from my WinXP development workstation.
The problem I am having is that I do not see a config setting for the "ccnet dir" directory as specified in the Brief Introduction page:
and as such I cannot find the XmlStatusReport.aspx. Which brings me to question how a .NET file could be living on a Linux box in the first place. I am obviously missing something here.
Really excited to use BVC, so any assistance would be TREMENDOUSLY appreciated!
Cheers,
Chris

The Big Visible Cruise display makes use of the REST-style interface exposed from Cruise. All of the recent Cruise builds should support this interface. To see if your Cruise instance exposes this interface, try and browse to ...
http://~server~/~ccnet dir~/XmlStatusReport.aspx
You'll also need .Net 3.5 installed.

Inappropriate?Really frustrated by this, and cannot find any help anywhere...
I now have CC v2.8.2 running successfully. Am pointing BVC at ~server:port~/dashboard (we are running on a Linux box), which is where I direct a browser to see the dashboard, but nothing happens.
I will periodically get an error about saying that the XmlStatusReport.aspx
cannot be accessed, but that reference does not exist in my config file.
Can SOMEONE help?
Thanks,
Chris
I’m getting ready to give up...

Inappropriate?Sorry about the lack of response. Apparently, my notifications were going into my junk mail.
The currently build of BVC is looking for that url. That url works ok with ruby and .net versions of Cruise, but I think that regular Cruise isn't supporting the same endpoint.
What version of Cruise are you using?
Try to go back to a prior download of BVC (about a year ago) and take a look at the configuration file.
I currently don't have a box with .Net installed on it, but plan on wrapping up a new release to BVC soon.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
Let me know the version of Cruise that you're running and I'll try and setup a similar environment and see what is going on.
Thanks!

Inappropriate?Just saw that this post after viewing the last one.
Well, that answers my Cruise version question.
Let me dig around a bit. The text from the webpage is out of date based on the latest release. I must have missed that reference. -
Inappropriate?Thanks, Ben. I am actually in the middle of writing a similar tool in Java. Would love to get BVC running, though.
Please let me know if I can get you any other info.
One odd thing is that the black error window that says it cannot find the XMLStatusReport.aspx only comes up about 60% of the time when I make changes to the config. Does that make any sense or is it just a timing issue preventing it from displaying occasionally?
Cheers,

Inappropriate?Try using a url like: http://www.spice-3d.org/cruise/xml
That url appears to work and it's running against a Java cruise implementation (not sure of the version though).
The error message will show up on the poll interval. By default, that will be every 15 seconds.
Let me know how it goes.
Sorry that it took so long for me to respond.
Thanks!

Inappropriate?Interesting... that URL works just fine.
What is actually in the xml directory? Is the logs containing the build results?
Our structure is something like this:
http://~CC server:port~ (this is where config.xml and the batch files to run CC live)
logs
AppName1 (contains the log*build.~num~.xml files with the build info in them)
AppName2
.
.
.
projects
AppName1 (contains the CVS checkout)
AppName2
.
.
.
Does that look like a problem?
What I don't get is what the Dashboard URL is looking for. If I go to http://~cc server:port~/dashboard I get the dashboard in my browser just fine. I can also get a different dashboard at http://~cc server:port~/cruisecontrol
HTH,

If you browse to that url and view source, you'll see the xml that BVC is looking for. This location is slightly different based on the Cruise platform and version that you are using.
I'm not sure exactly where that lives in your cruise implementation, but it might be worth digging through the source to the Cruise version that you're running to try and find it.
BVC does an http get to any url and looks for a file in a format that is similar to the one that you'lll see when you view source. You might try searching through the Cruise mailing list for the platform that you're on and seeing if you can find it there.
Thanks,

Inappropriate?Hi Ben,
I am not seeing that data in any files. Is there some sort of CC setting that needs to be configured? I cannot find anything related in the CC docs...
