VSS configuration problem in CruiesControl

[funny temp]

I try to configure CruiesControl in my machine...
the Configutation file has following content
--------------
in Config.xml:
--------------
<cruisecontrol>
<project name="Sample" >
<bootstrappers>
<vssbootstrapper <br /> serverpath="d:\VSS\LOCAL" <br /> ssdir="C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VSS\win32" <br /> vsspath="$/Sample" <br /> login="Admin" <br /> localdirectory="projects/Sample/checkout/sample"/>
</bootstrappers>

<listeners>
<currentbuildstatuslistener file="logs/${project.name}/status.txt" />
</listeners>
<bootstrappers />
<modificationset quietperiod="10" requiremodification="true">
<vss serverpath="d:\VSS\LOCAL" ssdir="C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VSS\win32" <br /> vsspath="$/Sample" <br /> login="Admin" />
</modificationset>
<schedule interval="60">
<ant anthome="apache-ant-1.7.0" buildfile="projects/build-sample.xml" />
</schedule>
</project>
</cruisecontrol>

---------------------
In build-sample.xml :
---------------------
<project name="Sample" default="build"<br /> basedir="Sample">
<target name="build">
<vssget login="Admin"<br /> serverpath="d:\VSS\LOCAL"<br /> ssdir="C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VSS\win32"<br /> vsspath="$/Sample"<br /> localPath="checkout/Sample"<br /> recursive="true"<br /> writable="true" <br /> />
< !-- Call the target that does everything -->
<ant antfile="checkout/Sample/build.xml" target="clean"/>
<ant antfile="checkout/Sample/build.xml" target="compile"/>
<ant antfile="checkout/Sample/build.xml" target="jar"/>
</target>
</project>

----------------
Problem:
----------------
When i click "BUILD button" in CruiesControl website, the cruiescontrol is taking the build in the expected location.

But, when automatic buit (i.e. scheduler and modification set) is showing the follwoing error ( After the content change in the source file)

------------
Error:

I don't know anything about VSS, but when I see

[cc]Mar-04 15:51:44 Vss - Getting modifications for $$/Sample
[cc]Mar-04 15:51:44 Vss - Command line to execute: "C:\Program Files\M
icrosoft Visual Studio\VSS\win32\SS.EXE" history $$/Sample -R -Vd03/04/08;03:51P
~03/04/08;02:10P -YAdmin -I-N -O$_Sample.tmp
[cc]Mar-04 15:51:44 Vss - The output filename begins with a non-alphab
etic character.
[cc]Mar-04 15:51:44 Vss - Use '@' to create output file $_Sample.tmp.

I'd probably conclude that the "$" in

vsspath="$/Sample"

is superfluous and try what happens if I remove it.

I meet the same problem with cruisecontrol and vss, hope your help, any help will be appreciative.

Did you try my advice? If so, what happened?

Hi, Ilja Preuss,

Thanks for your suggestion! But my path contains only one "$" character, the problem still occurs.

By the way, my OS language is Japanese, I don't know If CruiseControl supports japanese OS.

My error message: IndexOutOfBoundsException: index out of -8.

Ah, so you get a *different* error message? That would indicate that it's actually *not* the *same* problem (though it might be related, I guess).

Can you post the full error message?

I am also facing the same issue. Any insights into why this might be happening ??
