So, you'd probably want to add a line like this to your Cruise Control config file.
You'd want two for the red/green combination, passing onWhenBroken="false" to the green one and using a different device code.
The main thing to note is that the java comm library is braindead with regards to
finding the javax.comm.properties file. If you can, install Cruise Control to a
directory without any spaces. If not, follow below.
Installed Without Spaces (in windows):
The current (2.4.1) build of Cruise Control doesn't supply win32com.dll or the javax.comm.properties files, but does supply comm.jar and x10.jar. Get these from: here (Update: sun no longer distributes to windows version, GO SUN!) . Put javax.comm.properties and win32com.dll in the same directory as the comm.jar file.
Installed With Spaces
Follow the instructions above.
The comm jar does some lame classpath parsing to find the javax.comm.properties
file. This means that you must:
- Have the comm.jar outside of any implicitly defined library directory -
so you need to have it in the classpath somehow.
- The directory this file lives in must not have a space.
- The javax.comm.properties files must live in exactly the same place as the jar file.
So the easiest way is to:
make a c:\javacomm directory
put comm.jar and javax.comm.properties in c:\javacomm
add c:\javacomm\comm.jar to the start of the cruise control classpath
Why didn't they just do getResource("javax.comm.properties")?? I dunno.
Other notes:
- set the CCDIR environment variable to where you installed cruise control - but append \main underneath it.
so C:\Program Files\CruiseControl-x.y.x\main
Also see the note on http://cruisecontrol.sourceforge.net/main/configxml.html about copying
win32com.dll if you need to.
Hopefully that will fill in the missing bits that I've not seen anyone mention before.
