Hudson - Install as windows service Initialisation failure - hudson

Hudson - Install as Windows Service
I am trying to install hudson build server on a windows xp. Path to the Hudson folder in the E:\Hudson. The Hudson directory contains the hudson.war file. I use the following command to navigate to Hudson dashboard.
java -jar E:\hudon\Hudson.war.
Then I can navigate to http://localhost:8080.
Now the problem is when I try to Install as Windows Service it is thrwoing the below exception.
**Installing a service
[hudsonhome] $ D:\hudsonhome\hudson.exe install
System.Management.ManagementException: Initialization failure
at System.Management.ManagementException.ThrowWithExtendedInfo(ManagementStatus errorCode)
at System.Management.ManagementScope.InitializeGuts(Object o)
at System.Management.ManagementScope.Initialize()

at WMI.WmiRoot..ctor(String machineName)
at WMI.WmiRoot..ctor()
at winsw.WrapperService.Run(String[] _args)
at winsw.WrapperService.Main(String[] args)**
Is there any one who faced the same issue. Why it is throwing such an exception?

The only case of "Initialization failure" I know about (regarding WMI) is when the WMI repository is corrupted: see "Rebuilding WMI Repository".
Your context is a bit different, and the script detailed in the article might not be the right one for you, but before executing any script anyway, it is still worth to check if the WMI repo is corrupted or not, before attempting to rebuild it.

Heroku cannot detect my node buildpack for app, but when setting buildpack in cli it says the heroku/nodejs is already set up on app?

I have tried deploying app through heroku through cli and through linking git repo, through the git repo I am now getting
! Warning: Multiple default buildpacks reported the ability to handle this app. The first buildpack in the list below will be used.
Detected build packs: Python, Node.js
However, when I try to uninstall python build pack as explained here (https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/buildpacks) it says it can't be detected. When I try to install Node build pack it says it cannot be detected. But when I press deploy branch it runs the python pack since it is apparently the first build pack in the list.
I have tried making a requirement.txt file as noted in other answers but that took me from error in the post title to the error listed above with multiple packs

Jenkins doesn't launch the application under test on chromebrowser

I ran into an issue with Jenkins which I've never seen before and I thought I'll get some advice. Jenkins wouldn’t launch the AUT on the chrome browser for running selenium tests.
Steps that I followed:
A Jenkins Master and Slave are setup on the same machine. Not as a windows service, but I launch them manually via command prompt
I setup a project on the Slave node with 2 build steps. One for the MSBuild (I dowloaded the plugin) to build the solution and the second step for executing the windows batch command that will start the tests
I also have a TFS plugin to fetch the server version of the solution to build on Jenkins
So when I build the job on Jenkins Slave,
The solution gets built successfully without any errors
Then for the next build step, Jenkins executes the windows batch command and loads the .dll file. Says “starting execution..”
Chromedriver launches. It opens up the chrome browser
But the chrome browser wouldn’t launch the AUT. It just tries to load it and stays intact indefinitely until my Jenkins job times out
With all this happening, my CPU utilization is at 100%. The browser that runs the Jenkins UI on the local host and Java.exe*32 consumes it to the fullest
I ran the exact same MSTest.exe command (that I entered in the build step) in command prompt when Jenkins is not running and it launches the AUT successfully and tests ran
I ran the exact same MSTest.exe command (that I entered in the build step) in command prompt when Jenkins is running. It again spikes the CPU to 100% and AUT never launches
Any thoughts?
I was also running into this issue and solved it as follows.
Basically the jenkins slave has to be started from the startup through a batch job.
Here is the step by step process.
Node URL : http://host:port/computer/nodeName/
Go to the node "Node URL"
Click on "Mark this node temporarily offline"
Go the the machine where slave is running.
Open command prompt in admin mode.
cd to the location where jenkins is installed
Execute jenkins-slave uninstall
Go to services (type services in run) and stop the jenkins slave running
Restart the machine.
cd C:\Users\myUserName\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
Create a new batch job (name say LaunchJenkinsSlave.bat) with following content
>
java -jar C:/Jenkins/slave.jar -jnlpUrl http://host:port/computer/nodeName/slave-agent.jnlp -secret yourSecret
netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group="remote desktop" new enable=Yes
<<
fyi : You can refer jenkins-slave.xml in your Jenkins install location for yourSecret, nodeName, host ect if you forgot.
Restart your machine.
Observation : Jenkins slave will be started automatically
12. Go to the "Node URL"
and bring the node back online.
Hope this helps.

Mercurial on Jenkins, installing and configuring

I have a Mercurial repository (on Bitbucket) with some code (Java) and I want to do CI builds on a cloud-based Jenkins server (at Jelastic, running on CentOS). My problem is that I haven't been able to do a proper installation of Mercurial on the Jenkins server.
The Jenkins build fails with the following message:
ERROR: Failed to clone https://bitbucket_jenkins_user:some_password#bitbucket.org/repo_owner/my_repository because hg could not be found; check that you've properly configured your Mercurial installation
Setup information
It's a private Mercurial repository, hosted at Bitbucket
In Bitbucket I have set up a Service to trigger the Jenkins build, after a Push has happened
I have defined a specific bitbucket jenkins user in my Mercurial repository, it has only read rights and it logs in using simple https authentication
Jenkins runs on a Tomcat 7, hosted in a Jelastic cloud environment, on CentOS 6
The Mercurial plugin was installed through the Jenkins interface, by Manage plugins
The build is configured as being triggered remotely (by the service defined in Bitbucket)
Build results are the same when started manually and when triggered from a push to the repository
When I first did this I was under the impression that installing the Mercurial plugin in Jenkins would be enough, that it would also install the needed Mercurial binaries to be able to connect to the repository and get the code. I have realized that I was wrong and that on the Manage Jenkins / Configure System page I need to specify my Mercurial installation.
Questions
Is it possible to create a Mercurial installation without ssh access and doing a "yum install mercurial"?
In the Jenkins interface, what can I specify when choosing the "Install Automatically" option?
When defining an installer, I have experimented with the "Extract zip/tar.gz" option, but what can I write as the "Download URL for binary archive"?
Jenkins also offers an installer option of "Run command". What kind of commands could that be, maybe a "yum install ..." or "rpm ..."?
Since my server is cloud based, getting ssh access is a paid add-on which I would prefer to avoid. But if that is my only option I will of course do it, thereby getting access to running commands on the server. However, running "yum install mercurial" on Centos seems to only give the 1.4 version of Mercurial. Current version when I write this is 2.6.3, would I need to download the sources and compile it myself or is it possible to get that as a binary for Centos somewhere?
The Mercurial Plugin page has a section on how to use the Auto Installation options to install Mercurial using ArchLinux packages.
"The plugin supports generic tool auto-installation methods for your Mercurial installation, though it does not publish a catalog of Mercurial versions. For users of Linux machines (with Python preinstalled), you can use ArchLinux packages. For example, in /configure under Mercurial installations, add a Mercurial installation with whatever Name you like, Executable = INSTALLATION/bin/hg, Install automatically, Run Command, Label = linux (if desired to limit this to slaves configured with the same label), Command = [ -d usr ] || wget -q -O - http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/mercurial/download/ | xzcat | tar xvf - (or …/x86_64/… for 64-bit slaves), Tool Home = usr, and configure a job with this installation tied to a Linux slave."

Hudson build fails with FATAL: null java.lang.AbstractMethodError

I've installed Hudson on Ubuntu and I am using the git plugin. The git integration and the simple shell script I execute as the build step appear to be working fine, but I get the following error and the build fails:
FATAL: null
java.lang.AbstractMethodError

I have no post-build actions.
I got the same exception, and the reason in my case was an incompatibility when using hudson 2.0.0 and the hudson git plugin 2.0.1.
Either upgrade your hudson server or uninstall the git plugin and manually install the older git plugin version from http://hudson-ci.org/downloads/plugins/git/2.0.0/.

How to deploy on a remote machine using hudson's WAS Builder Plugin?

I have a hudson build server (Windows) that does not have Websphere installed. I created a Hudson node that I connect to via SSH. I also installed the WAS Builder Plugin to run jython scripts on the AIX machine. The job that uses the WAS Builder Plugin is tied to the AIX box.
I run into errors. Does anybody know, whether that setup might work or if a different setup will work for the WAS Builder Plugin?
EDIT:
I get following Error Message:

I am wondering whether that plugin can be executed on a slave, especially in my case where the master is on Windows and the slave on AIX.
Check Here Hudson Deploy Websphere Plugin
Why dont you remotely trigger builds on Hudson via the hudsonurl:8080/jobs/jobname/build?token=TOKEN url. That way you dont have to depend on BAT files.
Finally I got it to work. I upgraded the plugin to Version 1.4 and to the newest Hudson server 1.355. That seemed to do the trick.
