Has anyone used TFS for automated build for grails app.Do we need to write ant build.xml or can we use Gant script for TFS?
How does the build automation work with TFS for Grails App?

I'm new to .net application (non-web application) project and using jenkins for continuous build and release. I completed creating builds for my project and got the .exe and dll files. But i need to repackage it(create a msi) before deploying to servers. So can anyone give a stepwise information for rePackaging and tool to be used with jenkins for packaging. I want to automate this process in jenkins CI AND CD.
Jenkins is not capable to pack any applications directly.
It will always use an external tool via a plugin or installed by you.
In MSI case, you need an windows agent with an app that will receive the command in command line and produce your deliverable.
Applications:
Installshield (very old - paid)
visual studio (paid)
TFS (on premises or cloud) (paid)
MSIX (? I don't know much about it)
WIX (free)
Jenkins plugin here
Regarding CI and CD.
As of now the manual approach followed by developers is the developers are using bea workspace studio for their builds and these builds are sent to Ops team to deploy the ear files in the backend. Workspace studio contains .metadata wherein .plugins will be created while using the workspace. As part of the DevOps implementation we need to build that in their onpremise build server which is sun solaris. The server has weblogic but not workspace studio. Is there any alternate approach to build in the build server apart from using workspace studio.
I am currently working on a project (CI) on Jenkins. I have to integrate the automatic deployment of my Visual Studio solution which contain Crm Plugin and CrmPackage.
In order to make the deployment automatic, i have a Jenkins Jobs which execute the task :
call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\Tools\vsvars32.bat"
Devenv CrmPackage\CrmPackage.sln /Clean
Devenv CrmPackage\CrmPackage.sln /Build Release
Devenv CrmPackage\CrmPackage.sln /Deploy Release
As my solution is not yet connect to CRM server, i have the error for deploy:
"The connection to the Dynamics CRM Server is unavailable.Error: The connection to the Dynamics CRM Server is unavailable."
I can connect and deploy manually with visual studio but i don't know how can i connect the server by command line with vstudio.I am a newbie in Crm deploy and my question is how to connect the Crm server by command line with vstudio.
how to connect the Crm server by command line with vstudio
Check out the xrm-ci-framework. Though it's targeted as being used for CI in VSTS rather than Jenkins, it contains a PowerShell script that can be used to connect to CRM via a connection string, and deploy a package.
You might also consider the spkl task runner for deploying your plugins separately. Spkl is a nuget package that allows you to decorate your plugins and have them automatically compiled and imported into CRM along with their plugin steps by running a .bat file manually, or from your CI build.
I need to build more than 300 .net solution using MSbuild plugin in Jenkins. Please suggest a easy way to build all the solutions using MSbuild plugin.
I am trying to use TFS to auto build and deploy to Jboss server on AIX machine. How do i wrap the jboss in to a windows service and call it from TFS?
Note: I use ANT to Compile/build my project.
You can call out to ANT using the TFS build extensions. You can call ANT from team build using these instructions
