I need to configure Hudson using SVN and ANT . I need to deploy the war file at my server. Please navigate to the proper help. As I could not find any proper help for this. Do I need to use any plug-in? Or I can do with ANT script? Please suggest a way.
Create a new free-style software project job.
Configure that job.
Under Source Code Management section, select Subversion and configure your repositories and local workspace
Under Build section, select Add build step and select Invoke Ant
If your SVN checkout has build.xml in the root with default target, you don't need anything else. Else configure the Ant targets and the location of the build file
(Optional) Archive the artifacts of the build with Archive the artifacts under Post-build Actions, in your case probably **/*.war
Use Deploy Plugin to publish the war file to remote server.

I have a Windows Store Application (Windows 8.1), hosted on a GIT repo on Visual Studio Online.
I created a build definition, left all the default values as they were, ran the build and downloaded the artifacts.
I didn't find the Powershell script used to side load (install) the application, instead I found an .exe file.
What can be missing to generate the Powershell script needed to install the app?
The default build configuration is copying the files in "bin" folder to artifacts, that's why you see exe file.
To copy the package files to artifacts, please configure your build definition as following:
In "Visual Studio Build" step, add following argument in "MSBuild Arguments":
/p:AppxPackageDir="$(Build.BinariesDirectory)\AppxPackages\\"
And in "Publish Build Artifacts" steps, set "Path to Publish" as following:
$(Build.BinariesDirectory)\AppxPackages
To package Windows Store App during the TFS build process, you can (assume you're using XAML build):
1). Set MSBuild Arguments to be: /p:DeployOnBuild=true;DeployMethod=Package /p:DefaultPackageOutputDir="$(TF_BUILD_BINARIESDIRECTORY)"\StoreAppPackage
2). Set Output location to be 'SingleFolder' or 'PerProject'.
Then, after you queue one build, you will find one folder called StoreAppPackage in the TFS Build Drop folder. You can then find the Add-AppDevPackage.ps1 file.
I normally use JTest Parasoft as a plugin in Eclipse.
But now, I need to integrate JTest in Hudson, at a way that in the Post-build, JTest should run its tests over a Maven project.
So my questions are :
How to integrate JTest in Hudson? I found a plugin CppTest by Parasoft and not JTest...
How to specify the tests which should be run on the project? For example, configure JTest to run "Find unused code" which is included in "Static Analysis"...?
Thank you a lot.
Jtest has fully functional command line interface so generally integration should not be a problem.
As for your questions:
1) there is a Jtest plugin for Maven, so you will be able to trigger your post-build action easily. It's thoroughly described on http://build.parasoft.com .
2) you can specify the Test Configuration of your choice by using -Dparasoft.config option (i.e.: mvn parasoft:jtest -Dparasoft.config="user://Unused Code").
You can find all the parameters which can be used with parasoft:jtest goal described here: http://build.parasoft.com/docs/maven-parasoft-plugin/jtest-mojo.html .
We have integrated Jenkins with Jtest (Linux)
Downloaded the Jtest installers and installed in Jenkins server (in slaves too if you have slaves attached)
Env variables for same has been set (JTEST_HOME)
And now without any entries for Jtest in Pom or build.xml files, we
can directly call the jtestcli commands either in invoke shell
section or use Jtest goals with maven too.
We need to make sure that we have maven-parasoft-plugin 3.12 and Jtest dependencies available in maven repo (for maven projects) and we should have parasoft-ant-3.12.jar available which we need to place in ant lib folder (for ant projects).
I am setting up Jenkins to replace our current TeamCity CI build.
I have created a free-style software project so that I can execute a shell script.
The Shell script runs the mvn command.
But the build fails complaining that the 'mvn' command cannot be found.
I have figured that this is because Jenkins is running the build in a different shell, which does not have Maven on it's path.
My question is; how do I add the path so 'mvn' is found in my Shell script? I've looked around but can't spot where the right place might be.
Thanks for your time.
I solved this by exporting and setting the Path in the Jenkins Job configuration where you can enter shell commands. So I set the environments variable before I execute my Shell script, works a treat.
Some possible solutions:
You can call maven with an absolute path
You configure a global environment variable in the jenkins system settings with the absolute path to your maven instance, and use this in your script call (if you use the inline shell script, I don't know if those are substituted to a called script, you have to test)
You use a maven project and configure your maven instance in the jenkins system settings
ps.: Usually /bin/sh is chosen from Jenkins, if you want to switch to eg. bash, you can configure this in the jenkins system settings, in case you want to configure global environment variables.
You can use envInject plugin. It's very powerful.
I use it to install rbenv. And it can inject environment variables into your current job.
Another option to Dags suggestion is that if you're only using a single version of maven, on each slave server you could do either;
* add PATH=${PATH}:
* symlink mvn into /usr/bin with; sudo ln -s /usr/bin
I'm not at a Jenkins box at the moment, but I can find some more detailed examples if you'd like.
Jenkins is using sh by default and not bash.
This is my first time defining a jenkins maven job, and I also followed soem regular maven instructions (for running from command line...), and tried to update ~/.bashrc with M2_HOME, M2, PATH, but it didn't work because jenkins used sh and not bash. Then I found out that there is a simpler and better way built into jenkins.
After installing maven, I was supposed to configure my maven installation in jenkins.
To configure your maven installation in Jenkins:
login to jenkins web console
click Manage Jenkins --> Configure System
Under Maven, click the "Maven Installations..." button
a. Give it some name
b. and under MVN_HOME set the path to where you installed maven, for example "/usr/local/apache-maven/apache-maven-3.0.5"
Click Save button
Define a job with maven target
edit your job
Click "Add build step"
on Maven Version, enter the name you gave your maven installation (step #4 above)
set some goal like clean install
I would like to Hudson/Jenkins for our C++ builds for Continuous integration. We are using CMake for make files and subversion for soruce control.
Can you please let me know the steps to setup C++ builds on Hudson (may be using the sample project)
Thanks,
Sri
Create the project in Jenkins
Add a Subversion SCM, add the repository url
Create the schedule ( try with a * * * * * for first try)
Add a new step for the build (shell script) that will launch the compilation
If you have tests, add a new step (shell script) that will launch the tests
List files or directories (artifacts) to archive
Save project
Launch it
If it fails somewhere, check console output and correct the failing step.
I want to do a pre build configuration in hudson. basically I want to run a shell script which changes one perticular file after all the fresh source code is download from svn.
and then build...but hudson is not allowing it..
Just create the project as a freestyle project and configure the first step to execute the script. The next one to run your build via Maven or whatever. You should add the script to the project in your version control system.
