I am creating a FreeStyleProject using this test class: import org.jvnet.hudson.test.HudsonTestCase; import org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils; import hudson.model.*; import hudson.tasks.Shell;
public class AppTest extends HudsonTestCase { public void test1() throws Exception { FreeStyleProject project = createFreeStyleProject(); project.getBuildersList().add(new Shell("echo hello")); FreeStyleBuild build = project.scheduleBuild2(0).get(); System.out.println(build.getDisplayName()+" completed"); // TODO: change this to use HtmlUnit String s = FileUtils.readFileToString(build.getLogFile()); assertTrue(s.contains("+ echo hello")); } } From: https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Unit+Test But is it only possible to create a FreeStyleProject (and other project types) from a JUnit test? If I do: public class Main { public void runit() throws Exception{ AppTest at = new AppTest(); at.test1(); } public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { Main main = new Main(); main.runit(); } } I get: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException at org.jvnet.hudson.test.HudsonTestCase.createUniqueProjectName(HudsonTestCase.java:688) at org.jvnet.hudson.test.HudsonTestCase.createFreeStyleProject(HudsonTestCase.java:652) at com.build.jenkins.AppTest.test1(AppTest.java:10) at com.build.jenkins.Main.runit(MMain.java:7) at com.build.jenkins.Main.main(MMain.java:13) I have also looked at: hudson.triggers.TriggerStartTest which use: @Rule public JenkinsRule j = new JenkinsRule(); instead. But moving that outside a Junit test class gives an error similar to the above. Its seems that its only possible to create objects from hudson.model.* inside JUnit test or am I missing an alternative approach?
