Hi,

I am trying to build a simple (at least that is what I thought after  
reading Rails Recipes # 46) continuous integration process into my  
subversion source repository.

I am working on windows by the way. I can get the post-commit hook to  
execute the rake command in the correct build directory when I do a  
commit from my working directory. But the problem is I am getting a:

“system cannot find path specified”

when executing the following in the build directory. This command  
gives the same error whether called manually in the build directory or  
automatically via the post-commit hook:

> C:\ruby\bin\rake -t test\_latest\_revision NAME=“myapp” RECIPIENTS=“removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid” SENDER=“removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid”

What’s the problem here? It seems to check out the latest version into  
the build directory fine but won’t run the unit tests. I think it is  
the “test\_latest\_version” argument above but I can’t trace it. In the  
log directory inside my application directory which is inside the  
build directory, I can see that last\_build.log gets created but all it  
says is “failed”.

However, In the build directory I can simply run:

> C:\ruby\bin\rake

and all my unit tests are run being run without a problem.

Thanks for your help,

Prathap
