CruiseControl.Net Web Dashboard not displaying results

Question

Having problems displaying the results in CruiseControl.net web dashboard.

I've built a config file which kicks off a build of the project. It then runs nunit over my tests, they execute and finish just fine (I can open the log and see the results there). The ccnet logs show that the log files were successfully merged. However, try as I might, I can't get it to appear in the web dashboard. It just gives the frustrating:

BUILD FAILED
Project:    GroundControlTests
Date of build:  2011-01-07 17:16:36
Running time:   00:00:58
Integration Request:    mmayo triggered a build (ForceBuild) from PC0098
Projects built with no warnings at all :-)
Modifications since last build (0)

message, despite failing.

I suspect it has something to do with the xsl transforms, but have tried just about everything I can think of.

Certainly if I click View Build log, it shows, but the main report doesn't show passes and fails :(

My config files are below, any suggestions appreciated!

---nant.build---

Answer 1

When I deployed the nunit package from the dashboard admin it generated three things:

Under buildReportBuildPlugin it added xsl\unittests.xsl. This is for the build summary page. It also generated two items for the sidebar to see nunit details (xsl\tests.xsl) and nunit timings (xsl\timings.xsl). It looks like you have the nunit details xsl file defined for the build summary page which may be why you don't see anything. If you use xsl\unittests.xsl instead (and reload the dashboard so it actually reads the updated file) that may work. Another option is to just deploy the nunit package from the web dashboard administration page which will update the dashboard.config file for you.

      <xslFile>xsl\modifications.xsl</xslFile>
      <xslFile>xsl\unittests.xsl</xslFile>
    </xslFileNames>
  </buildReportBuildPlugin>
