How to build the project

[pawelpabich]

Hi, I would like to contribute to the TC Hipchat notifier so I cloned the repo and changed teamcity.home to C:\TeamCity, opended project in IntelliJ, hit build and ended up with gazilion compilation errors. Do you have any step by step guide that I could use? I have installed JDK 1.7.

Thanks

I'll have a look at this. I've been using Eclipse on OS X, but I'll test this on my Windows instance. Could you try to build from the command line using ant, as a test? I've been thinking about switching to IntelliJ, but haven't done so yet.

I've made a few changes which should make life easier for you. :-) Thanks for pointing the issues out. I've also updated the README with new information. Essentially:

• In the build.xml use forward slashes in paths (even if its Windows) when setting teamcity.home.
• The manifestclasspath ant task fails if the directories to be traversed are too deeply nested (default is 2; I made it 5).
• I was using a USER_HOME classpath variable in Eclipse. I've consolidated this by defining the TEAMCITY_HOME classpath variable and updated the classpath to use it.

Let me know if it still doesn't work.

(There are two tests that fails on Windows and I'll look at them a bit later. For some reason when those tests delete test files it fails.)

Have you had a chance to try the build after the updates?

Not yet, but I will this week. BTW you already implemented the 2 features I wanted :)

Cool. :-)

To my knowledge, I've resolved all the Windows build issues.
