Vault 4.1.4 and CCNET 1.0.0.1062

[BA]

We are upgrading to Vault 4.1.4 and I am testing its compatibility with CCNET 1.0.0.1062.

1) I just installed the Vault 4.1.4 client on the CCNET server.
2) I use RememberLogin on the CCNET server
3) CCNET.config sourcecontrol entries below:
<sourcecontrol type="vault">
<executable>d:\program files\sourcegear\vault client\vault.exe</executable>
<folder>$/System/Service/AddressServices/V01</folder>
<historyArgs>-rowlimit 2000</historyArgs>
<ssl>false</ssl>
</sourcecontrol>

4) When CCNET tries to connect to Vault, the following error is generated:
<vault>
<error>
<exception>VaultClientIntegrationLib.UsageException: Please specify -user, -password, and -host.
at VaultClientIntegrationLib.ServerOperations.Login(AccessLevelType altCommand, Boolean bAllowAuto, Boolean bSaveSession)
at VaultClientIntegrationLib.ServerOperations.Login()
at VaultCmdLineClient.VaultCmdLineClient.ProcessCommand(Args curArg)
at VaultCmdLineClient.VaultCmdLineClient.Main(String[] args)</exception>
</error>
<result>
<success>False</success>
</result>
</vault>

Would appreciate suggestions on resolution. Thanks

Look in the zip file of the Vault Cruise Contol Plugin for the readme.txt. It will have more details about the plugin and a good example.

<sourcecontrol type="vaultplugin" autoGetSource="true" applyLabel="true" cleanCopy="false">
<username>my_username</username>
<password>my_password</password>
<host>my_buildserver</host>
<repository>my_repository</repository>
<folder>$</folder>
<ssl>true</ssl>
<useWorkingDirectory>true</useWorkingDirectory>
<workingDirectory>project/src</workingDirectory>
</sourcecontrol>

Thanks Beth.

1. Our current ccnet.config production entries are below. We are currently at Vault 3.5.1. Rememberlogin now works in production:
<sourcecontrol type="vault">
<executable>c:\program files\sourcegear\vault client\vault.exe</executable>
<historyArgs>-rowlimit 10</historyArgs>
<folder>$/Script/Build/Deploy</folder>
<ssl>false</ssl>
</sourcecontrol>

2. In dev, I upgraded Vault to 4.1.4. Setting RememberLogin and leaving ccnet.config settings same as above (1) one causes Vault login errors. If I set sourcecontroltype to include credentials:

<sourcecontrol type="vault">
<executable>d:\program files\sourcegear\vault client\vault.exe</executable>
<username>builder</username>
<password>mypassword</password>
<host>uslaxdevapp01</host>
<repository>griffin</repository>
<historyArgs>-rowlimit 10</historyArgs>
<folder>$/Script/Build/Deploy</folder>
<ssl>false</ssl>
</sourcecontrol>

--> CCNET works. However, I prefer to use RememberLogin.

3. Next I configure CCNET to use the Vault plugin by downloading the components and updating ccnet.config as follows:

<sourcecontrol type="vaultplugin" autoGetSource="true" applyLabel="true" cleanCopy="false">
<executable>d:\program files\sourcegear\vault client\vault.exe</executable>
<username>builder</username>
<password>mypassword</password>
<host>uslaxdevapp01</host>
<repository>griffin</repository>
<historyArgs>-rowlimit 10</historyArgs>
<folder>$/Script/Build/Deploy</folder>
<ssl>false</ssl>
</sourcecontrol>

--> Now the CCNET service fails to start with the following error:
Service cannot be started. System.BadImageFormatException: The format of the file 'ccnet.fortressvault.plugin.dll' is invalid.
File name: "ccnet.fortressvault.plugin.dll"

1) How do you have your rememberlogin written? Can you post that and just x out important information?

What happens if you try to use rememberlogin with just the command line and then try a few manual Vault commands on the command line?

3) Do you have the 2.0 .NET framework installed on that machine? The latest version requires the 2.0 .NET framework.

[BA]

Thanks.

1. "d:\Program Files\SourceGear\Vault Client\vault.exe" REMEMBERLOGIN -user builder -password XXXXXX -repository griffin -host uslapXXXXXXX

It runs successfully, resulting in a return value of true
Running Vault commands from the commands line after RemeberLogin works

2. Yes, Framework 2.0 is installed on the machine.

[Beth]

Do you hve a Vault GUI client on that machine? If so, does that function correctly?

[BA]

Yes its installed and works properly.

[Beth]

I think your version of CCNET doesn't support the 2.0 .NET framework. You should upgrade Cruise Control to a version that does support the 2.0 .NET framework.

[BA]

Thanks. Will try an upgrade from here and provide feedback later.

[Beth]

Have you had any results yet from an upgrade?

[BA]

Holding off on CCNET upgrade until after the Vault upgrade this month. Just did some workarounds on the CCNET side for now. Thanks

[Beth]

One additional thing that could be causing what you are seeing....
Is it possible that you ran the rememberlogin command under a Windows user account that is different from the Windows account that CC.Net uses?
