My Simian Similarity Analyzer task looks like this:
<exec>
<executable>C:\\Program Files (x86)\simian\bin\simian-2.3.33.exe</executable>
<buildArgs>-includes=*.cs -formatter=xml:build\log\simian.xml-failOnDuplication</buildArgs>
</exec>
The build log looks like this:
<simian version="2.3.33">
<check failOnDuplication="true" ignoreCharacterCase="true" ignoreCurlyBraces="true" ignoreIdentifierCase="true" ignoreModifiers="true" ignoreStringCase="true" threshold="6">
<summary duplicateFileCount="0" duplicateLineCount="0" duplicateBlockCount="0" totalFileCount="0" totalRawLineCount="0" totalSignificantLineCount="0" processingTime="94"/>
</check>
</simian>
I know the solution has duplicate code, so I guess I'm missing something, any pointers?
totalFileCount="0"
points to Simian not finding any files. Try running it like this (I'm guessing CruiseControl.Net is doing some needless escaping on your command line):
<exec>
<executable>C:\\Program Files (x86)\simian\bin\simian-2.3.33.exe</executable>
<buildArgs>-includes=**/*.cs -formatter=xml:build\log\simian.xml -failOnDuplication</buildArgs>
</exec>
Another important difference in this syntax is -includes=**/*.cs
, which instructs Simian to include subdirectories in file search.
