We've been somewhat unhappy with our current
[Cerberus](http://cerberus.rubyforge.org/) installation, so we've decided to
jump on the [CC.rb](http://cruisecontrolrb.thoughtworks.com/) bandwagon.  Though
there were a couple of problems when adding projects (I'll try to expand on that
in another post), the overall experience was pretty good—installation was a
breeze, and the plugin system makes extending it dead simple.  As proof…

## Campfire plugin for cruise\_control.rb

A builder plugin for [CruiseControl.rb](http://cruisecontrolrb.thoughtworks.com)
that sends build notices to [campfire](https://www.campfirenow.com/) chat rooms.

### Download

You can get the tarball
[here](http://svn.thoughtbot.com/plugins/cruise_control.rb/campfire_notifier.tgz),
or grab it from svn at
http://svn.thoughtbot.com/plugins/cruise_control.rb/campfire_notifier.  You can
even track it via externals: `svn propset svn:externals 'campfire_notifier
http://svn.thoughtbot.com/plugins/cruise_control.rb/campfire_notifier'
builder_plugins/installed`

### Installation

1. Create a Campfire account that you will use for sending notifications.
1. Copy campfire_notifier_plugin folder to builder_plugins/installed (or use the
   externals method above)
1. Modify builds/your_project/cruise_config.rb by adding the following lines:

```ruby
Project.configure do |project|
  ...
  project.campfire_notifier.domain   = 'thoughtbot'
  project.campfire_notifier.room     = '38367'
  project.campfire_notifier.ssl      = false
  project.campfire_notifier.username = 'sender@gmail.org'
  project.campfire_notifier.password = 'sender_password'
  ...
end
```
