Version 1.8.1 History – builds 121-185 – Continua CI

Posted by jpluimers on 2016/12/07

I’ve been very busy with broken hardware and operating systems lately so today was the first chance to post about recent Version 1.8.1 History of  Continua CI. During October and November the below builds got released.

For almost all of them, you will need to update your agents after installing the build.

v1.8.1.185, November 23rd, 2016

Changes

  • Update: Added preliminary support for Visual Studio 2017 RC to MSBuild, VSTest, MSTest and Visual Studio actions
  • Fix: Issue where ExecuteRepositoryServerSideScripts app setting was not being read preventing running of Git post commit scripts.

v1.8.1.178, November 22nd, 2016

Changes

  • Fix: “changeset.style” file was missing from installer causing error when getting new changesets for new Mercurial repositories.
  • Fix: Issue where Shared Resource Locks at the configuration level would be released before the end of the build, if Shared Resource Locks existed at the stage level and were released.
  • Fix: Build version is now truncated to fit into the maximum field length of 128 characters.
  • Update: Email publisher now supports wider range of secure sockets options. This also fixes an issue where you it would always try to use TLS if it was supported by the server.

v1.8.1.167, November 15th, 2016

Changes

  • Fix: Issue where enabling a configuration would cause all time triggers in other configurations to stop working.
  • Update: Any updates to loggers in the Continua CI Server service configuration file, such as enabling debug logging, are no longer reset when running the installer.

v1.8.1.165, November 14th, 2016

Changes

  • Fix: Repository error status was being reset to “Ready” status when getting new changesets.
  • Fix: Associated triggers are now updated to point to the new repository when repository edit requires it to be recreated.
  • Fix: Concurrency issue with build event handlers causing incorrect build data to be used.
  • Update: Bundled Mercurial used for repository cache has been upgraded to version 3.9.2
  • Update: Improvements to speed when exporting files from agent repository cache to agent workspace.
  • Update: Agent installer has been updated to allow it to be run silently and take additional command line parameters. The relevant parameters are:
    • /usage (optional) – shows usage information.
    • /silent (optional) – runs the setup in silent mode. Note that progress bars will still be displayed.
    • /verysilent (optional) – runs the setup in completely silent mode. No UI is displayed.
    • /log=”filename” (optional) – creates a log file with the specified filename.
    • /dir=”x:\dirname” (optional) – overrides the default installation directory name.
    • /serviceUser (required in silent modes) – the domain and user name of the service user e.g. domain\username.
    • /servicePassword (required in silent modes) – the password of the service user.
    • /serverHostName (optional) – the host name of the ContinuaCI service. Defaults to “localhost” if not provided.
    • /serverPort (optional) – the port of the ContinuaCI service. Defaults to 9000 if not provided.
    • /agentPort (optional) – a port for the agent being installed. Defaults to 9002 if not provided.
    • /workspacePath (optional) – the local path to the agent workspace folder. Defaults to “C:\CI_AWS” if not provided.
  • Update: Now showing the finished time for the last finished build rather than Never for the last queued/running build on List View dashboard.
  • Update: JUnit parser now includes test case times.
  • Update: Diagnostics report is now generated in the background to prevent timeouts.
  • Update: Further improvements to build queue performance.

v1.8.1.121, October 11th, 2016

Changes

  • Fix: Regression bug in v1.8.1.118 where Path Exists property collector plugin would always return false.

Why does the Windows calculator generate tiny errors when calculating the square root of a perfect square? – The Old New Thing

Posted by jpluimers on 2016/12/07

In the continued “floating point code is hard for most software developers” series:

[WayBack] Why does the Windows calculator generate tiny errors when calculating the square root of a perfect square? – The Old New Thing

Because it doesn’t know that it’s a perfect square.

Indy: getting response despite exceptions or 4xx HTTP status codes

Posted by jpluimers on 2016/12/07

Formy snippet archive (thanks Walter Prins for answering and Oliver Funcke for asking and elaborating on the answer):

in the case of error, you can get what would’ve normally been in the contentstream from the ExceptionObj.ErrorMessage property.  So you can use something like the following if you want to get the content response regardless of http response code (untested):

var 
  FResponseStream: TStringStream;
  FRequestURL, Content : String;
begin
  //.... etc etc
  try
    FIdHTTP.Get(FRequestURL, FResponseStream);
    Content := FResponseStream.DataString;
  except
    on E:EIdHTTPProtocolException do
      Content := E.ErrorMessage; 
  end;
  // At this point, "Content" contains the response body, both for 
  // successful (200) as well as other response codes.
  
  //.... etc etc
end;

….

You can even do it simpler:

Response := IdHTTP.Get('http://host/path', [404]);
