Be Careful Available since GreenPepper 2.5.1

The GreenPepper MSBuild tasks are used during the Integration test phase of the build life cycle to execute the specifications of an application. They generate reports in plain HTML file format (*.html). By default, these files are generated in the build file directory.

Tasks overview

There are two GreenPepper MSBuild tasks:

• <GreenPepperTask>: Executes the specifications and generates reports
• <FreezeTask>: Downloads the specifications locally

Usage

To use the MSBuild Tasks for GreenPepper, you must load task extensions assembly: GreenPepper.Extensions.dll
To do so, you have to indicate in your MSBuild project file :

<UsingTask TaskName="GreenPepper.MSBuild.GreenPepperTask" AssemblyFile="GreenPepper.Extensions.dll"/>

<UsingTask TaskName="GreenPepper.MSBuild.FreezeTask" AssemblyFile="GreenPepper.Extensions.dll"/>

Examples

To better understand the usages of the GreenPepper MSBuild tasks, take a look at the following examples:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project DefaultTargets="Build" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
  <UsingTask TaskName="GreenPepper.MSBuild.GreenPepperTask" AssemblyFile="GreenPepper.Extensions.dll"/>
  <UsingTask TaskName="GreenPepper.MSBuild.FreezeTask" AssemblyFile="GreenPepper.Extensions.dll"/>
  <!-- GreenPepper's tasks can be written there -->
  <!-- ....... -->
</Project>

Be Careful If your project has a dependency on GreenPepper.Extensions, make sure your project reference on GreenPepper.Extensions and the MSBuild GreenPepper.Extensions assembly, reference the same file
