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 have been trying to install Install-Package Google.Apis.Drive.v3 using this source with the difference that I have Ubuntu-18.04 instead of Windows.
I know it may be a simple question but I have been trying research how to do that from this morning. I installed sudo apt install nuget on my machine and have been trying to add packages or as in this case the Google.Apis.Drive.v3 package but no luck.
I went through this source which was useful, but does not carry information I was able to replicate on my Linux machine.
Also this source, this one and this one too. But also this last one is for Windows and was not very useful.
How do I install Google Apis Drive V3 via command line easily as it is documented for windows but on Ubunbtu-18.04?
Thanks for pointing to the right direction for solving this problem.
Solution
The way you install your Drive API's library is depending on the programming language you are aiming to use. These are the following commands to run depending on the different languages to interact with the API (with their respective links to the source of the setup):
Python:
pip install --upgrade google-api-python-client google-auth-httplib2 google-auth-oauthlib
C#/.NET:
Create a new Visual C# Console Application project in Visual Studio.
Open the NuGet Package Manager Console, select the package source nuget.org, and run the following command:
">Install-Package Google.Apis.Drive.v3
Java:
gradle init --type basic
mkdir -p src/main/java src/main/resources
Node.js:
npm install googleapis#39 --save
For the Browser check out the steps to follow here
I hope this has helped you. Let me know if you need anything else or if you did not understood something.
NOTE: For all Ubuntu-18.04 users that wish to install via command line the correct way is: sudo dotnet add package Google.Apis.Drive.v3
I have a web (online calculator for an example) which developed by my fellow tem members. Now they want to deploy in PCF using manifests.
Languages used : python, php and javascipt.
I gone through the docs about pcf with manifest.yml
In that I don't have any idea about services and env.
What is that services and how can I find the services for the above project and also how can I find the environment variables?
And tell whether these fields are mandatory to run the project in PCF.
To your original question:
What is that services and how can I find the services for the above project and also how can I find the environment variables? And tell whether these fields are mandatory to run the project in pcf.
Does your app require any services to run? Services would be things like a database or message queue. If it does not, then you do not need to specify any services in your manifest. They are optional.
Similarly, for environment variables, you would only need to set them if they are required to configure your application. Otherwise, just omit that section of your manifest.
At the end of the day, you should talk with whomever developed the application or read the documentation they produce as that's the only way to know what services or environment variables are required.
In regards to your additional questions:
1)And also I have one more query...like in our application we used python ok! In that we use lots of pacakages say pandas,numpy,scipy and so on...how can I import all the libraries into the PCF ??? Buildpacks will contain version only right?
Correct. The buildpack only includes Python itself. Your dependencies either need to be installed or vendored. To do this for Python, you need to include a requirements.txt file. The buildpack will see this and use pip to install your dependencies.
See the docs for the Python buildpack which explains this in more detail: https://docs.cloudfoundry.org/buildpacks/python/index.html#pushing_apps
2)And also tell me what will be the path for my app name if Java I can enclose jar files
For Java apps, you need to push compiled code. That means, you need to run something like mvn package or gradle assemble to build your executable JAR or WAR file. This should be a self contained file that has everything necessary to run your app, compile class files, config, and all dependent JARs.
You then run cf push -p path/to/my-app.jar (or WAR, whatever you build). The cf cli will take everything in the app and push it up to Cloud Foundry where the Java buildpack will install things like the JVM and possibly Tomcat so you app can run.
what should I do for application devloped using pyhton , JavaScript and php....
You can use multiple buildpacks. See the instructions here.
https://docs.cloudfoundry.org/buildpacks/use-multiple-buildpacks.html
In short, you can have as many buildpacks as you want. The last buildpack in the list is special because that is the buildpack which will set the start command for your application (although you can override this with cf push -c if necessary). The non-final buildpacks will run and simply install dependencies.
3) we were using postgresql how can I use this in pcf with my app
Run cf marketplace and see if there are any Postgres providers in your Marketplace. If there is one, you can just do a cf create-service <provider> <plan> <service name> and the foundation will create a database for you to use. You would then run a cf bind-service <app> <service name> to bind the service you create to your app. This will generate credentials and pass them along to your app when it starts. You app can then read the credentials out of VCAP_SERVICES and use them to make connections to the database.
See here for more details:

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 would like to run a task (stop a running vm machine) before Jenkins starts the check-out.
The reason is: VM blocks access to some files I have to update via subversion.
Is this possible?
There are two plugins for controlling virtual machines, depending on whether you are using VirtualBox or VMWare.
I'm quite sure you can configure the pre-build step to be "Suspend" as shown in the images, at least for VMWare.
VMware Plugin
VirtualBox Plugin
Edit your project and set:
Configure M2 Extra Build Steps --> Execute shell --> Type in whatever you'd like to do. For example:
# Wipe the local repository before each build.
rm -rf $WORKSPACE/.repository
Have a look at How do I trigger another job from hudson as a pre-build step?. I think this has been asked before there.
I edited a few .jelly files for Hudson, but it's not reflected. How do I restart Hudson ? I hope that this will display the HTML tag changes made in the .jelly files.
I am trying to change the look and feel of the Hudson.
On what OS do you run Hudson? How did you install Hudson? .....
The basic idea is to stop Hudson (or just kill it) and than start it the same way it was started before. If you are not the person who installed it, call the person. After a while they get tired of you asking and will give you the instructions (and also the permissions) to do it yourself. ;)
If you have create plugin with mvn -U org.jenkins-ci.tools:maven-hpi-plugin:create command.
This will have in built Hudson.
You can run mvn hpi:run at location of plugin.
You can debug using mvnDebug hpi:run.
mvnDebug by default uses 8000 port,if you are using eclipse as IDE, Go to Run -> open Debug Config -> Select plugin and port and start debug. This will do remote debugging on 8000 port.
