I’m planning on setting up a Continuous Integration server for a Ruby based project. It should work with Perforce SCM, and send out email notifications. A web page (either as an app or simply overwriting a static html page) is also important. Anyone have any experience or recommendations? The two choices I’m looking at are CruiseControl and Pulse. I’m a bit concerned about integrating them with rake and Test::Unit. Any advice or experience is appreciated. ---

There is DamageControl, which was written in Ruby. Unfortunately it is no longer maintained, but they do have this nice overview of the other integration servers: [http://damagecontrol.codehaus.org/Continuous+Integration+Server+Feature+Matrix](http://damagecontrol.codehaus.org/Continuous+Integration+Server+Feature+Matrix) /Anders * * * Anders Bengtsson removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid Stockholm, Sweden ---

I prefer CruiseControl, but use the test-report project to have your Test::Unit test output Junit compatible XML. I blogged on this a while ago [http://www.jaredrichardson.net/blog/2006/09/20/#ruby-test-as-junit](http://www.jaredrichardson.net/blog/2006/09/20/#ruby-test-as-junit) Every bug I ran into has been fixed in the tip of the tree, so check it out from subversion, don’t download the packaged gem, but it works great.

If you have a script / file for this, please do post it. (PS I really enjoyed Ship-It!)
