I am able to successfully run my JUnit test suite from the command line and now I want run these tests from Hudson.
However , for Hudson to generate the reports , it needs a results file (I think in xml format) .
How do I generate a results file from JUnit ?
I am using the following command to run the tests :
java com.nvidia.tests.TestSuite1
Thanks in advance .

If you're using ant, you can look at the JUnit task for ant. This is probably the easiest way. You can just add the task at the appropriate place in the script.
If you're using maven, look at the surefire plugin for maven which will automatically run the tests and create the reports in jenkins.
EDIT: If you're not using any build tool (which you should be), then just add the ant build script to jenkins, and you should get the reports automatically.

I'm currently building scripts using Selenium Builder (which saves files as JSON) and i'm having a hard time running these scripts on VSTS. My question specifically is, can Visual Studio Team Services build JSON scripts and tie them in with its C.I.? If so, which approach must I take in order to do this / make it possible?
Thanks!
Here is my steps for your reference:
Deploy your own private build agent by following this link.
Configure the required environment on the build agent like Selenium Driver, Firefox so that the testing can be run on the build agent.
Upload the json file generated by Selenium Builder into VSTS Repository.
Create a build definition with two Command Line tasks: The first one runs npm install command to install se-interpreter:
And the second one run se-interpreter command to run the test in json file:
Queue the build, you will see the test been executed during the build:
I'm running integration tests using TestNG and Hudson combination. I'm able to generate my own customized JUnit XML files for Hudson for reporting purpose. And Hudson displays my customized report greatly. Now I want to attach test results which are of .txt files to my test class/test method. I have taken JUnit Attachments Plugin and installed it on Hudson. I generated the .txt files into the surefire-reports//*-output.txt directory as per the example mentioned in the following link: http://wiki.hudson-ci.org/display/HUDSON/JUnit+Attachments+Plugin.
But JUnit Attachments Plugin is not working on Hudson. I'm unable to see the attachments in Hudson.
Any suggestions to make it work?
I'm having problems setting up my Hudson server to run cpp unit tests so I can output an .xml file. I tried searching the web for some more straight forward instructions on how to set this up but still don't understand how to. It sounds like I need to set up ant to run...but how??
I'm currently running Hudson ver 1.352.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

I'm assuming you have some existing tests implemented in CppUnit that you can run by themselves. You could get these running in your Hudson job by using Ant, but since I don't think there is a CppUnit task for Ant you'd have to do it with an exec task.
It might be just as easy to call a shell script from Hudson to run your tests; you should then be able to get it to display the test results by checking the "Display JUnit test results" post-build action in your Hudson job and specifying the path to your results XML file (it's been a while, but as I remember CppUnit tests are in the same XML format as JUnit).
Let me know if I'm making any wrong assumptions.
I am new in Hudson.
I would like to execute a 'sourcecodeanalyzer' command in Hudson as Post-build Actions to generate an html report. Please let me know is this at all possible, if yes let me know the Hudson configuration steps to execute the command.
Your earliest response in this regard will be extremely helpful.
Thanks in advance.
Yes, it is almost certainly possible.
You will need to configure the Hudson project to have either a post-build action or a build step that runs your source code analyzer.
You've not stated in your question precisely which analyzer - it may be that Hudson already has a plug-in installed for it, in which case it may be listed on the Config page for the project at the bottom under Post-build Actions.
If not, next check to see if there's a plug-in available for the analyzer that hasn't been installed. From the main Hudson page select Manage Hudson, then Manage Plugins, and choose the Available tab. If there is a plug-in available it's definitely a good idea to use it as they are generally very well integrated with Hudson itself.
As a last resort you'll have to configure a build step to run the analyzer. Configure the project, then choose "Add build step". The drop-down that appears depends on your environment (Windows or Linux) but should include the ability to run a shell command or batch file. You can configure your analyzer there.
(If you're building Windows Visual Studio applications, a more flexible way that I've used is to use the MSBuild plug-in for builds, and have an MSBuild script that builds the application and then runs analysis tools. This can automate pretty much everything: mine builds the application, builds an acceptance test database, runs the acceptance tests and copies the result HTML to a page linked from the project.)
You could create a new job with a "Execute Shell" build step. Type in the command you wish to run in the text box. Then all you have to do is trigger this job by selecting:
"Build after other projects are built"
And select the trigger job from the list.
Hope this helps!
As a follow up to Jeremy's post. If you don't see the ability to add post build steps, you might work with maven jobs. In that case you need the Hudson M2 Extra Steps Plugin. This will give you pre and post build steps.
I use the 'Post build task' plugin to delete some resources after a build. You could call any shell script or command lines. If you want you could make the call depends on some logging output.
there is one best way to solve this:
Upgrade to Fortify SCA 2.6.x (as of writing, latest version is 2.6.5).
Download the Fortify Maven Plugin version 2.6 from https://customerportal.fortify.com and install it into your Hudson server's Maven repository.
Update your project's pom to carry out the Fortify scan. There is an example provided with the Maven plugin.
Currently , I am experiment with sonar plug in. It looks great check the details here

I am setting up a new Hudson task (on WinXP) for a project which generates javascript files, and performs xslt transformations as part of the build process.
The ant build is failing on the XSL transformations when run from Hudson, but works fine when the same build on the same codebase (ie in Hudson's workspace) is run from the command line.
The failure message is:
line 208: Variable 'screen' is multiply defined in the same scope.
I have tried configuring Hudson to use both ant directly and to use a batch script - both fail in Hudson.
I have tried in Firefox, IE6 and Chrome and have seen the same issue.
Can anyone suggest how we can workaround this problem with Hudson?
Problem solved.
Our build is actually dependent on jdk 1.4.2, and Hudson appears to run using 1.6. When I set Hudson to run as a service, it ran as my local user, which meant that it picked up the 1.4.2 JAVA_HOME environment variable - and therefore worked.
I guess another possible solution is to configure Hudson to use 1.4.2 by default.
I would assume this is not an issue with Hudson directly, as it is with the build script and/or the environment itself.
Is your build script relying on certain environment variables being defined, or worse, the job running from within a certain directory structure (i.e. it works if it's run from under /home/mash/blah but not from under another directory like /tmp)? Is the build script making reference to external files by relative paths?
These are the things I would look into. For environment variables, you can tell Hudson to pass these into Ant. For the other issues, you probably want to change your build script. Check the console output provided by Hudson, and maybe set Ant to print verbose/debug messages to get a better idea about the environment/filepaths.
