Compass Version 1.3 Build PlansProject Administrators set up build plans through the Compass Server web interface. Each build plan contains a series of build steps that Compass will executes in order until all steps have completed or until a build step fails. Each build step consists of a script along with parameters to be passed to the script and options for how Compass executes the script. A Script can do almost anything a user wants it to do, however most scripts fall into one of four categories: - Source-Control server accessing
- Pre-processing or post-processing of code and build output
- Building source code
- Testing build output
Each build plan is created for a specific project and all the results of executing the build plan belong to that project. In Compass, build plans can only be created, modified, deleted and scheduled by project admins and site-wide administrators. A build plan can be viewed, but not changed, by regular users of the project that the build plan belongs to. In the following sections we explore how to create build plans, configuring options for build plans and how to schedule build plans to execute at certain times and to be triggered to execute by certain events.
