A new community project based on TFS

Holy Grail of CI

Scotty Wakefield — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 23:52:21 GMT

"Gated Checkins"(or "gated commits" - if using some other tools) really are the holy grail of continuous integration. Its a great idea to include it in future versions of TFS.

This is definitely something we'll want to play with. In keeping with the religious analogy already stated, the CI extensions to TFS prompted our entire team to lay prostrate before the gods! It will be interesting to see how the added layer of risk mitigation weighs out against the extended time before changesets are available to other developers over a couple of life cycles - e.g. how many potential hours were saved by avoiding critical stops versus how many hours were lost waiting for changeset availability. I'm sure it's not as easy of a comparison as that, but it gets to the point. Thanks Brian!

Great idea

Definitely looks cool and sounds like a great addition to Rosario...great use of the shelving capability. I will definitely be downloading this tool and giving it a whirl.

Well, you can pick up CTPs now :) I announced one a week or so ago on my blog. However, it will be a while yet before Rosario CTPs are in shape for anything more than kicking the tires.

Gated check in - Shelveset build

Ragh — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 08:06:42 GMT

In Gated check-in, we are looking at building the code which is available in the server by the merging the local changes back to the respective files. This allows the developer to accept or reject his changes depending on the build suceess or failure.

The concept used here is shelve the local changes back to server, run the get latest command to bring files from server and merge shelve changes to the files and run the build. if build succeeds check in also succeeds.
