cc_monitor now has graphs with the success and failure showing as below

Not only that it is now configurable with a config file to set variables at
startup. And now it is also armed with activerecord mgirations. So if you want
to look at a working example of activerecord migrations outside of rails you
can use this code.

When trying to use cc_monitor on my current project(which is completely ruby) I hit the known snag of making it work with cruisecontrol.rb. For the umpteenth time I was not able to find any documentation on making it publish cc_tray compatible xml, which would make cc_monitor work with cc.rb.

After some googling and mucking around I downloaded latest cruisecontrol.rb and looked at its routes. I found a route “XmlServerReport.aspx” which does publish in ‘cctray’ format. I plugged it in to cc_monitor and it works like a charm.

So now I can announce that cc_monitor works with any java/ruby versions of cruisecontrol. If you would like to use cc_monitor with a continuous integration tool make sure it publishes a cc_tray compatible xml and you are all set.

Recently I successfully added ‘bacon’ to test my ramaze code for cc_monitor. The repository has been updated so check it out.

I was also suggested to check out cc_board which is a build monitor written in sinatra by David Vollbracht. Another app to make big visible charts for your team!
