I am using MailLogger to send a message about a failed/successful release. I would like to make the mail body simple and easy to read. How can I suppress output for some particular tasks?
Another option would be to use the xmllogger instead of the maillogger, to output an xml file which can then be processed using a xslt stylesheet. Use the stylesheet to filter out information you don't need. If you want it to be mailed to your inbox you could use the mail task from nant and include the transformed file as an attachment or if you transformed it to txt/html you could also use it to fill the body.
Would it be too simple if you'd call nant with the -quiet switch?
EDIT: and for the tasks whose output you are interested in you can set the verbose attribute to true.

I have allure reporting setup for my c# selenium framework, and everything is working fine, but I have noticed something that bothers me that I'd like to change. In every single test, there is always an attachment called "console output" that is empty and 0kb in size. My question is, Is there any way to remove/disable this?
You can see what I mean in the picture below:
I'm guessing this is the confluence of two minor bugs, one in nunit and one in allure.
On the NUnit side, the XML that is created for a test result contains an <output> element to hold the text output by the test. It sounds as if an empty element is produced when there is no output. You can check whether this is the case with your version of NUnit by examining the XML output.
On the allure side, an empty element could be ignored, but apparently, it isn't.
Either or both of these should be reported to the respective projects.
I have a txt file that is holding a string inside, I want to be able to use this string in one of my scripts, so I'm wondering if there is a way to set the content of the file as one of the build properties or parameters which I'll be able to use in my scripts it should be the same as using one of the build environment properties.
For example : ${JOB_NAME} which is holding the the job name, so in the same way I want to access the content of the file which is holding some value inside.
Is it possible?
You can upload a file from your computer to the workspace through the File parameter of the job.
You can use Extended Choice plugin parameter, to read value(s) from a file and display them in a dropdown/radio-button/checkbox for the user to select, dynamically, every time the build is triggered.
You can use EnvInject plugin to read value(s) from a file and inject them into the build as environment variables, so that they can be used by the rest of the build steps/scripts.
Your question is very unclear on what your are trying to do. Pick one of the 3 methods above based on what you need, or clarify your question.
i would like to change the apperance of the log file, generated by ccnet. It is useful, if the error messages are separated from the original Log Messages, but in order to debug, it is a bit tricky to see, when the error really happened. Our powershell skript runs for 6-8 hours and creates about 38k lines in the log file, so i would really apprechiate a solution, how i could list the errors with the other lines in the log files. Additionally it would be cool, if all the errors would still appear separatedly.
So far i have not found a lot documentary that explained how to change the log file output...

Not sure how this is logged, but in the end, logs produced during the build are put into the build-log file, that you will find in artifacts folder.
Then this logs are transposed into html output using xsl transforms. If none of the built-in reports is useful to you, you can create a custom xsl and plug it in, see the dashboard.config file, the following section allows for adding additional xsl transforms:
<buildReportBuildPlugin>
<xslReportBuildPlugin description="MSBuild Log" actionName="MSBuildBuildReport" xslFileName="xsl\MSBuild4Log.xsl"/>
...
If you know what the error messages are going to be you can parse them with an xsl file and generate some html that will show up in the build emails. The following goes in ccservice.exe.config.
<xslFiles>
<file name="c:\path\to\custom_errors.xsl"/>
</xslFiles>
custom_errors.xsl is an xsl file that finds the error messages in the raw build log xml and then generates html from them. This html will show up in the build emails. You have to create custom_errors.xsl. It's a significant amount of work to get working the first time especially if you're new to xml/xsl/html/css. If you undertake this I suggest doing all the testing outside of ccnet using a xsl transformer and inputting a sample ccnet build log. ccnet uses a css file to style the html so be aware of that. You can edit this too.
Note you have to restart the ccnet service after editing ccservice.exe.config.
We have quite a number of .xqy files in several folders.
Sometimes, I need to invoke an .xqy file (via Marklogic's CQ) to test if it's working.
But I find it rather cumbersome to have to know what parameters to pass in and specify them in the xquery in CQ.
Is there a tool out there that would generate an HTML form that presents to me the parameters of a given .XQY file and invokes it when I press a "submit" button ?
If there is none out there, would somebody here know of how to make such an HTML form ? Right now, I can't seem to find any readily-available xdmp or xquery commands to tell me if an .XQY file is invocable or what parameters it expects to be fed.

The XQuery standard doesn't support introspection, nor does MarkLogic provide any functions that help with that. The closest you can get with this is using the XQDoc documentation code that is capable of parsing the XQuery code itself and producing descriptions of all function signatures within modules.
You can find more details about it here: http://developer.marklogic.com/code/xqdoc-ws
It doesn't provide a 'Submit' button, but using the XML output of xqdoc, you could make that yourself..
Good luck!
Another option would be to convert your XQuery to XQueryX and you can then process this as XML using XQuery (or XSLT) to generate an XForm or XHTML Form.
Since Danny mentioned unit testing, I'll risk plugging my own framework for that: https://github.com/mblakele/xqut
I usually run XQUT test suites in a cq buffer, but it would be easy enough to wrap one in a simple web page - with or without a form.
I've setup some Nunit tests for validating my statistical formulas within my .net v2 application, for company records i need to have a printed copy of this output. Is anyone aware of any commands in NUnit to automatically print the XML to default printer?
If printing isn't possible saving to a folder may work for us.
thanks in advance
The NUnit console automatically gives the results as xml. To state your own name on the xml file, this is what you need to do:
nunit-console /xml:someFileNameHere.xml yourFileWithNUnitTestsHere.dll
