Draco.NET is a Windows service application designed to facilitate continuous integration. Draco.NET monitors your source code repository, automatically rebuilds your project when changes are detected and then emails you the build result along with a list of changes since the last build.
While using Draco, you would need to know what is going on, what is worng and you will face issues that you need to figure out if the service is running correctly or not ... if this is the case with you; then this post is for you ...
Check Draco log
Draco is a windows service, and has no user interface by default, but Draco logs all the activities in its log file draco.log.
If you are not a fan of log files and want to see what is going on in real time, then keep reading.
Use DebugView to see the status in Draco in realtime
Download DebugView http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/Miscellaneous/DebugView.mspx and run it on the Draco machine, then add the Default listener to Draco.exe.config
Then enjoy the monitoring J
Adjust the Periods of polling and waiting
Draco will poll VSS to check for modifications, if it find any; waits another period called the quite period to give the chance for some one checking-in files to finish. Practically the default periods may not be perfect, it worth increasing them.
Draco failed to start … what is wrong
If Draco service failed to start and then you may or may not get a message box like this
Check the EventViewer for an event log that belongs to Draco, the complete error message is there for you to figure out what is wronge.
That’s it for now, if I learned more I will share it soon.
