Comments on: Why are you still not using Hudson? http://blog.uncommons.org/2008/05/09/why-are-you-still-not-using-hudson/ Rants and opinion interspersed with awe-inspiring tales of heoric software engineering endeavours.

My current frustration is that when our unit tests fail it doesn't fail the build. Instead, it goes on to run the coverage tests. Strangely, if the coverage tests (cobertura) fail Hudson will fail the build, but if the unit tests fail and cobertura is happy with the coverage, the build gets marked "yellow". This appears exactly backwards to me. Michael Well, I am using it and am increasingly frustrated with it. My current frustration is that when our unit tests fail it doesn’t fail the build.

And well, it convinced me to try out Hudson, which I'd never heard about before. Like you said, installing Hudson and setting it up to build our project (and even draw those pretty graphs from Cobertura output) was totally a snap! We'll be just test-driving it for now, but I think we might well end up replacing CC as our main build tool... :) So thanks for the introduction!

I believe our QA team is still following up to figure out why things weren't working like we expected. We are using an older in-house system for now.

I don't have dependencies set-up between individual projects so I have not encountered that specific problem. Out of interest, did you find an alternative that did solve your particular problem? Brian, I guess that’s a good answer to “why are you not using Hudson?” ;)

Our primary reason for ditching it is because it simply would not cooperate with dependency management. If A depends on B, we make a breaking change in B that causes changes in A. Hudson (set up for A) wouldn't recompile B. I'm not convinced that this system is as great as the awards it seems to be winning.
