Understand Configuration Pre-processor in the CruiseControl.net

Question

After reading document Configuration Pre-processor.

I just got some basic knowledge about it. and make summary here, hope someone could help to review it. and correct me if there is something wrong.

1. All the available Pre-processors are defined in the CCNetConfigBuilder.xsd.

   In this xsd . It just has define and scope 2 Pre-processors. (Did I missed something ?)

2. From the ccnet.xsd. We can see the CCNetConfigBuilder.xsd is imported and the element cruisecontrol is the root element of configuration. like below. But I didn't know why the directive import doesn't need the attribute schemaLocation to specify the location of the imported xsd file.

   <xs:import namespace="urn:ccnet.config.builder" /> <xs:element name="cruisecontrol">

3. All the child elements of cruisecontrol is a choice not sequence. like below:

   <xs:choice minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">

   and define and scope can occur under the cruisecontrol without specified order with other elements. but can't occur under the element like project. Right?

4. I saw Document of Configuration_Preprocessor mention others elements like cb:include, cb:ifdef,cb:else, cb:ifndef etc. But Why I can't find its definition in the CCNetConfigBuilder.xsd? Please tell me if I am missing something. Thanks.

Answer 1

I don't think the XSD documents have been well maintained as CruiseControl.NET has not been maintained for some time. The newer features of the configuration builder are not included in the XSD
