An detailed overview of using bitten for the Boost project can be see at https://boost-consulting.com/trac/projects/boost/

Installation

Installation

Bitten Slave

How do I point the bitten slave to my build configuration?

If your trac installation is hosted at trac.xxx.com, and you have a project called my-project in trac, the command line would look like:

bitten-slave https://trac.xxx.com/my-project/builds -u <username> -p <password>

How do I schedule the bitten slave to run at a certain time of the day?

Use cron to or its equivalent to run the bitten-slave at the desired times. Run the bitten-slave with the option "--single" (-s for short) so that it exits after a single build instead of polling for more.

What options does the Bitten slave support?

See Bitten Slave Options.

Bitten Master

My slave connects to the build master, why doesn't it start a build?

See Build Won't Start.

How do I add one of those cool over-time charts to my build page?

The charts are added automatically if your recipe creates junit reports and/or code-coverage reports. To create your own custom charts, see Adding Custom Charts to Bitten.

Can I see some sample bitten recipes?
