The Xml Log Publisher is used to create the log files used by the CruiseControl.NET Web Dashboard, so if you don't define an <xmllogger /> section the Dashboard will not function correctly.

You should place the <xmllogger /> in the <publishers /> section, after any File Merge Tasks, in your Project Configuration Block.

Examples

Minimalist example:

<xmllogger />

Full example:

<xmllogger logDir="c:\myproject\buildlogs" />

Configuration Elements:

XML Log Publisher used to support the 'mergeFiles' option. This functionality is now removed and you should use File Merge Task instead.

Just noticed my projects don't have an <xmllogger /> element, but my dashboard still works correctly. Maybe this documentation is out of date? Posted by dcameron at Jan 01, 2007 19:26

Seems if you omit the <publishers> block, the following will be assumed.  <publishers>   <xmllogger /> </publishers> So, if you add a <publishers> block for any reason, be sure to add the <xmllogger /> element. Posted by dcameron at Jan 14, 2007 23:07
