If there’s a failure in a job and an exception is thrown the message displayed in the dashboard of the failure is cut off. For example you’ll only see this in IE6:

“java.lang.RuntimeException: net.sourceforge.cruisecontrol.util.BuilderException: NantBuilder cannot”

If you double click on the text it’s all there, just not visible. Here’s the full error:

“java.lang.RuntimeException: net.sourceforge.cruisecontrol.util.BuilderException: NantBuilder cannot find the build file specified [d:\cruise\CompositeApplicationLibrary\CompositeApplicationLibrary.build]. Make sure you are using the correct task and pointing to the correct build file for this job, in your Cruise configuration.”

Expanding the sidebar gives you more information but the not the full message. The message needs to be wrapped.
I don’t have other web clients to test so I can’t tell if this is an IE6 thing or a general problem.

Hey Bil

That box should have a scrollbar at the bottom so you can scroll. If you’re not seeing it, I am pretty sure it is an IE6 thing (we spend a large proportion of our UI time working around IE6 bugs and incompatibilities). We’ll take a look.

Hi Bil,

I just try this on IE6, and see the scroll bar shows at the bottom of the page, after drag the scroll bar the full message shows. So would you please double check this? Thanks. :-)

Best regards,
