Ruby and Continuous Integration

Now I've read a couple of old posts about this and the usual response is
"use Damage Control" but from the looks of it this hasn't been supported
for quite a while...

I'm just curious to see if anyone has used Ruby or Rake to build their
project and used CruiseControl or CruiseControl.NET to run it. I know
it's possible, it would simply need a [N]Ant script with an <exec> task.
However this will not report the results back for publishing as cleanly
or nicely as a nant task, or would it?

Do I need to re-write my rake file in nant?!

Again I'm just curious to find out if anyone is using Rake or Ruby with
CruiseControl.NET

It appears the project is defunct or at least in hibernation. I can't
even get to the repository.

I haven't tried CruiseControl + Rake yet, but others have told me it's
possible. Another option I was just made aware of last week is
Cerberus[1]. Since then, I've also seen it mentioned in a blog and an
announcement of a new version on this list. So it seems pretty active.
It's still fairly new, but might be worth looking into. I'm planning
on checking it out this weekend.

If you're already using Trac to manage bugs and whatnot.. bitten is
pretty neat.. it's written in python, but it can run pretty much
anything. I haven't used it with rake yet, but I assume it could run
that as easily as a shell script. It's simple and does what I need
for the time being.

Also, Luntbuild is rather configureable and can deal with many builds
and dependancies well. It's another java CI tool though.

I bit off topic, but didn't DHH write a small CI
for Ruby/Rails development several months ago?

Yes...but...

The one DH wrote is called CIA and can be had from the Rails svn
repository. The two things I don't like about it are that a) it runs
on the same server as the repo, and b) depending on the version of
Subversion you are running, your commits will hang while the tests are
run.

There are other options, though. There's a RubyForge project called
Cerebus, which does CI and can live on another machine.
http://rubyforge.org/projects...

I've also got a little application called (tongue-in-cheek) NSA that
can be had from svn://source.johnwilger.com/nsa/trunk . Be forewarned
that NSA is currently very much unpolished and of alpha quality -- it
works for most of our needs at work, but YMMV.

Jay Fields also posted about a similar CI solution to his website a
few months ago.

So who's going to write the "Find Bugs Instantly" CI tool?
