自动化每日构建（一）用Ant来完成Delphi工程的每日构建

Delphi的IDE在一般工程的编译、部署是非常方便的，但是当工程的规模比较庞大时，使用IDE来进行工程的构建就比较费劲了。这时我们可以使用shell脚本来完成这个任务。但是脚本受限制于操作系统平台，管理起来不方便。如果能把所有的项目的构建统一在Ant和NAnt环境下，那么项目的管理效率就可以大大提升，成本就可以大大下降。
每日构建的实际内容应该包括：代码更新、编译、单元测试、打包、冒烟测试等基本内容。下面的构建文件并不包括所有这些内容。
本系列包括用Ant来进行Delphi、Java的每日构建，用NAnt进行.NET的每日构建。
Ant的构建文件Build.xml，使用时可以用实际的工程名替代*****。

下面是过去写的一个建立Delphi工程自动化每日构建的帮助文档，内容是英文的。

Start a new Delphi project by using Ant This document has 5 sections: Brief System requirement Directories and files The Build file Run Ant

Brief

Start a new Delphi project by using Ant, so we can make Daily Building. All have to do list below: 1.Install Delphi SDK1.4 and new version Ant, and make Ant works. 2.Copy Directories and files from dproject(d for Delphi) template library. 3.Make project files stay in the right directory. 4.Edit the Build.xml file. Let it fit the project. 5.Run Ant.

System requirement

Delphi SDK1.4 or higher Ant 1.6 or higher Delphi 6.0 or higher

Directories and files

You can make directories yourself, or copy from template. But make sure the directory tree like this:

Every directory is made for a certain kind of files. Directory names and what kind of files should be put in list below: Directory Files should be put in Build building files Data project’s data files Doc project‘s documents for installation and deploying Lib libraries project depending on Res resources project using Install resources for installation Src project’ source files Config project’s configuration files Database project’s database files Delphi project’s Delphi source code files Docs project’s documents for manager, developer, tester Scripts project’s script files Sql project’s script files for database Now put the Delphi files into the /src/Delphi directory.

The Build file

The build file is /build/build.xml. In the template we already have a default build file. Because every project has different name and different configuration, so we must edit the build file to suit project. We must edit the project name and path in the build file.

Run Ant

After doing that, now start a command-line prompt, change path to ./build, and type ant. We can see a function list like this:

Now Ant runs. We can EDIT the build file to add new features: unit testing, packing, deploying, etc, as you like.
