CruiseControl.Net CCNetWorkingDirectory parameter problem

Question

I'm working with the latest CruiseControl.Net 1.5.7256.1.
I'm trying to use one of the system parameters, CCNetWorkingDirectory under sourcecontrol block and the project failed to recognize this parameter.

<sourcecontrol type="svn">
    <trunkUrl>https://padev/svn/physical/Source</trunkUrl>
    <workingDirectory>$[CCNetWorkingDirectory]\SVN\Source</workingDirectory>
    <username>ccnet</username>
    <password>hidden</password>
</sourcecontrol>

I also tried it as $CCNetWorkingDirectory, $(CCNetWorkingDirectory), Non of these option worked.

Thank you

You got trapped. I think almost anybody who starts with CCNET tries to access CCNetWorkingDirectory inside CCNET configuration. This is not possible. Find my answer on a similar question here.

Brilliant. Someone should update their documentation. Thanks. – Gal Bracha Jun 21 '10 at 14:06

I don't know in which version things changed but as of version 1.8 you can use what they call: System Paremeters as documented here:

http://confluence.public.thoughtworks.org/display/CCNET/Dynamic+Parameters

and it works for me as in this sample configuration:

<project name="ProjectName" queue="myqueue" queuePriority="1">
    <workingDirectory>path</workingDirectory>
    ...

    <sourcecontrol type="svn">
        <workingDirectory>$[$CCNetWorkingDirectory]</workingDirectory>
        ...
    </sourcecontrol>
