cctray reports build successful when cruise control cant reach source control repository

Question

When the source control repository is unreachable cruise control keeps going back to check for modifications. While the latest build was successful the dashboard reports failure but cctray reports success.

Is there some way I can catch this scenario and have these two agree?

Answer 1

Yes this scenario can occur when the CCTray hangs on the local PC. If the issue is occuring at the dashboard then it means the IIS Server hangs where the CruiseControl server is running.

To resolve this is to identify where the issue is at. If the issue is at the CCTray level then restart the CCTray. If the issue is at the Dashboard level then restarting the IIS should fix it.
