R – CruiseControl.NET Emails not containing build results or errors

continuous integrationcruisecontrol.net

I have some failing builds and the build data is missing from the emails sent from CCNET?

It contains tests run and modifications but no build or error data?

I don't think I have messed up the xsl's.. any thoughts?

UPDATE :

Yes i've looked at
http://confluence.public.thoughtworks.org/display/CCNET/Email+Publisher

and Yes in the publishers section i've called xmllogger before email

UPDATE :

I'm not sure if this means anything but.. in the compile.xsl it looks for

/cruisecontrol//buildresults//message

but there is no 'buildresults' node??

It just goes..

cruisecontrol –> build –> msbuild (then warnings, project, messages etc etc)

UPDATE :

Have the following in ccservice.exe.config. No mention of msbuild??

xsl\header.xsl
xsl\compile.xsl
xsl\unittests.xsl
xsl\fit.xsl
xsl\modifications.xsl
xsl\fxcop-summary.xsl

I had a similar problem yesterday with a new install of cruisecontrol as a service.

Make sure you have specified the correct xsl files in the ccnetservice.exe.config (if you are running the service) and ccnet.exe.config if you running the console version.

you need to restart the service/console app once these are updated.

Edit:

Are you using the standard msbuild logger, or Rodemeyer's one? If you are using Rodemeyer's, you need to use diffrent XSL transforms (msbuild2ccnet.xsl) to normal (compile.xsl, msbuild.xsl). There is a guide for that here

Check that your output is making it to the build log, located in server\<projectName>\artifacts.

If you have modified the xsl, make sure its in the correct folder (webdashboard\xsl and server\xsl). You can test the xsl works fine by copying the build log file (see server\<projectName>\artifacts directory). to a file, and adding the relevant XSL includes to the header then opening the XML file in a web browser)

EDIT:

in the <xslFiles> section of ccservice.exe.config, add another line like this:

<file name="xsl\compile-msbuild.xsl" />

or 

<file name="xsl\msbuild.xsl" />

as i am not using the standard logger (you are though), i am uncertain as to which of those is needed. try one, then if that doesnt work, try the other!
