Of course, I didn’t have a generate assembly info method, so I basically took Oren’s and ported it as well (sorry Oren, I’ll take it out if you want). At the same time, I took the opportunity to remove the dependency on configatron from rubicant as well. It just seemed like overkill to require configatron when it really wasn’t buying me much.

In the end, I came up with this, which on the whole I don’t think looks too bad. I personally like it better, but I’ve been on a bit of a vendetta against PowerShell scripts since I wrote my first one some time ago. I don’t know why, but the friction it gave me over writing ruby scripts just always rubbed me the wrong way.

If you want to give this script a try (I’ve tried everything but the upload piece, which for obvious reasons I couldn’t test) just follow these steps:

1. Get a copy of the rhino mocks source.
2. Make sure you’ve got ruby installed.
3. Make sure gem is up to date: “gem update –system”
4. Add github to your gem sources: “gem sources -a http://gems.github.com”
5. Install rubicant: “gem install mendicantx-rubicant”
6. Copy the above script into a file named rakefile.rb in the rhino mocks directory.
7. Run it: “rake release”

God willing, this will work. I’ve tried it on a couple of fresh systems, but have no good way of knowing if it works beyond my machines. If you do on the offhand decide to try it, please let me know below!

The MsBuild Task is used to create tasks which will use MsBuild. This should help with people who need to build WPF applications (since MsBuild is the only way right now), or (fingers crossed) migrate from MsBuild.

The MsBuild Task is used as follows:

   1: MsBuildTask.new(:task_name => :dependencies) do |msb|

   2:   msb.no_autoresponse

   3:   msb.target

   4:   msb.logger

   5:   msb.distributed_logger

   6:   msb.console_logger_parameters

   7:   msb.validate

   8:   msb.verbosity

   9:   msb.no_console_logger

  10:   msb.max_cpu_count

  11:   msb.ignore_project_extensions

  12:   msb.file_logger

  13:   msb.distributed_file_logger

  14:   msb.node_reuse

  15:   msb.properties

  16:   msb.file_logger_parameters

  17:   msb.project_file

  18: end

Each of setters matches a command line option for MsBuild. For more information on what each one does, please view the documentation at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms164311.aspx.

Values that can only be set (for example, /noautoresponse) can be set to true (set) or nil (unset).

Values, such as /property that take a list of option settings, must be passed a hash where the keys are the options and the values are the option values. For example, to set the output directory and Warning Level for a csproj compile, you could use:

   1: MsBuildTask.new(:compile) do |msb|

   2:   msb.properties = { :OutputDir => ".\\Output", :WarningLevel => 2 }

   3:   msb.project_file = ".\\Project1\\project.csproj"

   4: end

As of yet, I haven’t added an MsBuild helper to help create this function. I will probably get this done fairly shortly.

In addition, you can also install rubicant via gem:

   1: gem sources -a http://gems.github.com

   2: sudo gem install mendicantx-rubicant

You should only ever have to run the gem sources command once. This adds github to your sources of remote gems. From what I understand, there’s a ton of great projects there.

Now you don’t have an excuse to try it out!
