Rails 3 with RVM and Cruise Control

Here are a few notes on how to get individual CruiseControl.rb project Builders running with RVM. [Note: I’m making an assumption here that you know and understand Bundler and RVM.] [Also: Cruise may or may not be running on RVM] Create and check in a .rvmrc file in your rails root directory. Here’s an example.

rvm ruby-1.8.7-p174@rails-example

Then, add a project build command to your cruise_config.rb file.

Project.configure do |project|
  project.build_command = './cruise_build.sh'
end

Finally, create a cruise_build.sh file. The bash script setups rvm and just calls your cruise control build task. [Note: Your cruise rake task should probably call Bundler’s “bundle install”.]

#!/bin/sh

source $HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm && source .rvmrc

rake cc:build

…and your cruise project builder is now using RVM!
