FxCop 10.0 code analysis results are not shown in CCNET Build Report

Situation:

I am using cruise Control .NET (V1.5.7256.1) with TFS 2008 and VS2010.  Integration is such that for each checkin CCNet gets latest version using sourcecontrol type="vsts", and build with MSBuild. My solution contains single project file, I have enabled option “Code Analysis on Build” from Code Analysis tab in VS2010 and selected “Microsoft Minimum Recommended Rules”.

Now FxCop (V10.0) obviously run and generate “[ProjectName].exe.CodeAnalysisLog.xml” file in bin\debug folder when build is successful. Using CC merge tool, I can integrate the results to BuildLog xml files. Everything is working upto this point.  I can see build XML and Fxcop report is integrated nicely.

Problem Statement: when I see build report in dash board, no Fxcop results are displayed. How to identify and integrate FxCop 10.0 xsl to display the results on HTML report is the issue.

Resolution:

I googled for some time and found, CCNet does support FxCop version 1.36 and not later than that. When I browsed to “C:\Program Files\CruiseControl.NET\webdashboard\xsl” folder, I can see “fxcop-report_1_36.xsl” file. So at another place, there was a clue to generate xsl for FxCop 10.0. Very simple, just create a copy of fxcop-report_1_36.xsl with new name “fxcop-report_10_0.xsl” and replace version number in new created file to “10.0”. Here is original code need to replace:

<xsl:variable name="fxcop.root" select="//FxCopReport[@Version = '1.36']" />
 - to -
<xsl:variable name="fxcop.root" select="//FxCopReport[@Version = '10.0']" />

Still no report is coming under Build Log

Then I reached to the conclusion, I should edit dashboard.config to under ccnet website in IIS, so I opened it and append fxcop10 xsl path as follows:

   <buildPlugins>

      <buildReportBuildPlugin>

        <xslFileNames>

          <xslFile>xsl\header.xsl</xslFile>

          <xslFile>xsl\modifications.xsl</xslFile>

          <xslFile>xsl\fxcop-report_10_0.xsl</xslFile>

        </xslFileNames>

      </buildReportBuildPlugin>

I saved the changes, Restarted CCNET service under SCM, then Reset IIS using command line. When I accessed the page, I can see the Build Report with Fxcop 10.0 static code analysis. Here is a snap:

 Great, isn't it :)
