I'm trying to hook up our own private testing tool to Jenkins. I'm able to run the test through the command line and create a report on my local machine. I will need to convert that report to xml JUnit format, specifically for Jenkins. Once that is done, how do I associate the xml file that was just created to the most recent job. This way the correct report gets put with the correct job?
The way Jenkins works is simple: you create a job and Jenkins runs it. Every run of a job is called a build. If you configure the job to look for test report files at the end of a build, the test reports are loaded and presented in the Jenkins UI. There is no way to submit test reports to a build outside of the build or after the build.
Usually this is not a problem. You run your test program/script as part of the build and it produces xml files in the JUnit format. When all the build steps are done, Jenkins looks for the xml files and loads them. You have to tell Jenkins to do it, though. You open the job configuration and you add a new post-build action titled "Publish JUnit test result report". Then you give Jenkins a pattern it uses to search for the files. You can use **/*.xml which means Jenkins will look for all *.xml files in every directory and subdirectory. Or you can e.g. use **/testreports/*.xml if you know where the test reports are going to be.

I have a working TestCafe test suite which generates a custom xml report generated by code in the test suite. I would like to place this report in the "standard" ./results location that TestCafe uses for its reports, but I can't find an option to retrieve the current working directory (e.g., the bash pwd command).
I'm getting it by adding export pwd=$(pwd) on the command line when I run the test, but I wonder if there's a built-in mechanism in TestCafe to do this?
If you run the tests from the command line, you can just use the reporter option as follows:
testcafe chrome test.js --reporter xunit:results/output.txt
See this question for details: How to save report results from console to a file (TestCafe)?.
I am running Jenkins on a script, that generates a junit.xml report file and other files. However, all those files are zipped by the script, hence Jenkins cannot find it.
Is there a way to make Jenkins unzip the .zip file , find my particular junit file and generate the run results ?
All this is in Linux.
Thanks
Jenkins has the ability to execute arbitrary shell commands as a build step, just add the 'Execute Shell' step to your build and put in the commands you want (presumably 'unzip' would be among them).
Once you've extracted the xml, provided your internal tool generates it using this schema the JUnit plugin just needs the path you extracted to and it will show the results on the build page.
If you have the option, I would really suggest executing your tests via gradle or maven, as outputs from those tasks will produce a report that Jenkins (and other tools) can already read, and can streamline the job setup process for your users. But, if you can't get away with that, the above should work for you.
I currently Jenkins to as my continuous integration system and I use Gradle to build my project. Without changing anything Gradle by default puts all the build artifacts under the /build folder in the workspace. This obviously doesn't work well since the build artifacts get overwritten by the following build.
I have modified my script to output the files in the /builds/[BUILD_ID] folder on Jenkins, which puts the build artifacts in the correct build folder on the CI system, but they don't show up in the Jenkins gui when you navigate to a specific build.
How do I get my build artifacts to display in Jenkins? Where do they need to be put, in order to show up for each build?
In the Post Build Actions section of your Jenkins job configuration, select "Archive the artifacts" and specify which files to archive. Jenkins will save them with the rest of the build data and provide links to each file on the build page.
How to enter subversion credentials in Hudson by shell?
I've tried to generate file hudson.scm.SubversionSCM.xml in HUDSON_HOME and reload configuration, but changes weren't applied.
The easiest way to enter a credential from the shell is to use "svn" executable. Hudson recognizes the ~/.subversion/auth directory that it creates.
Under Windows the global credenentials are stored under %APPDATA%\Subversion\auth. The following Groovy code helps generating these credentials:
SVNRepository repository = SVNRepositoryFactory.create(SVNURL.parseURIEncoded(url))
ISVNAuthenticationManager authManager = SVNWCUtil.createDefaultAuthenticationManager(SVNWCUtil.defaultConfigurationDirectory,"AD\user","password",true)
repository.setAuthenticationManager(authManager)
repository.getDir("", -1, null ,(Collection)null) // or some random SVN operation
Libraries used in the code above (example in Gradle):
compile 'org.tmatesoft.svnkit:org.tmatesoft.svnkit:1.7.8'
compile 'net.java.dev.jna:jna:3.4.0' // so wincrypt is available
Make sure you run the code with the same user Hudson runs on the Windows machine.
Just start with the Hudson.
Install all required Plug-Ins.
Hit the link,EX:-localhost:8080/hudson
Click on the add job/Create job.
While choosing the options SVN will be present there,Give the SVN location.
Credentials link is present out there.Click on that link.
A form will get open,provide valid credentials for that location of SVN.
Observe the Success message on the screen and then get back to the Create job,Complete with Job creation and Build the task.
Findbugs script in build.xml:
Findbugs checks Coding...
Findbugs checks Coding...
genetate a findbugs_result.xml.
Download Findbugs plugin for hudson.
Enter findbugs_result.xml path for hudson.
But hudson can not display on main interface. why?
I've found some annoying inconsistencies in the way Hudson stores paths; sometimes you use the overall workspace directory for the Hudson job and other times you have to use the path to the code that the job checks out of source control. For example, if your code gets checked out to MyProject under your workspace directory, and then the test XML files go into MyProject/target/test-reports, try specifying the path with and without the MyProject at the beginning of the path.
