Doc X appears to Not accept relative paths for assemblies and extra content. As such, we are unable to integrate into our nightly build as c:\source\release is certainly not the buildmachine directory structure.
Is this even possible - integrating into a TFS nightly build?
We use HelpStudio 2 to run the nightly doc build, and we haven't had any problems with relative paths since DocX 5 came out.
We use a simple batch file and Cruise Control to run the build, but that's about it.
The nightly build script we run looks like this:
%HELPSTUDIO% = path-to-hs2.exe
del /Q /S out-helpstudio
%HELPSTUDIO% SO.Database.hsp /b /s /bp=Default
echo CHM file complete
Document! X does support relative paths throughout, but only if the relative path/file is a sub-directory of, or shares the same parent folder as, the folder containing the .dxp. This is by design to ensure that relative paths are only stored where appropriate.
