Re: Jenkins as a Windows service

[blaz]

So if I understand correctly you can access Jenkins web interface locally 
but not remotely?!
Did you remember to open port 8088 on firewall?
Does your Jenkins server listen for connections on all interfaces or just 
loopback interface?

IE message "Internet Explorer cannot display the web page" is really vague. 
It could mean that site address cannot be resolved, it could be connect 
timeout, connection could be rejected, ...
Which is it?

In any case you are most likely experiencing general network related 
problems nothing specific to Jenkins.

Re: Simple Execute Shell fails to execute, Jenkins reports success

[Chris Mitchell]

It looks like it was an issue with defaulting to using C Shell.  I don't 
entirely understand why this worked, but specifying to use Bash resolved 
the issues.  This is what my Execute Shell prompt looks like now and it 
executes great.

#!/bin/sh -xe 
echo "Hello" > ~/tmp.txt

Thanks for the help!

Ah, but the environment for the slave is different than your
interactive environment. Try doing an echo ~/tmp.txt to see what the

That's a perfectly reasonable question, I've made many mistakes like that 
before :)

I am looking on the correct node, and I've tried with multiple nodes with 
the same results.

RE: EnvInject plugin doesn't set empty variable

[Mandeville, Rob]

That might be intentionally not supported.  Jenkins is a class-platform 
product, and if some platforms don't allow environment variables with empty 
values, this could cause inconsistent behavior.

RE: Restricting builds from running at certain times of the day

[Mandeville, Rob]

You are correct that this might need multiple slaves per host to do that.  This 
isn’t a big deal to do, just make sure that they have different root 
directories.  At my shop, where a build and test cycle takes up an entire Unix 
account, we have several slaves per host, each one on a different account.

The ‘Trigger builds remotely’ feature sets up a URL so that you can trigger a 
build with an HTTP request.  That means that a script can use something like 
wget or curl to launch a Jenkins build.  Even without this feature, you can 
launch builds using the Jenkins CLI (running a JAR file that you can get from 
your Jenkins server); see 
https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Jenkins+CLI for details.  I’m not 
sure if this relates to triggering builds at certain times.

Thanks for that idea. Unfortunately in my case I don't have enough slaves to 
set it up like that (I guess unless I create two slaves on the same physical 
machine)...

I don't really understand what "[ ] Trigger builds remotely (e.g., from 
scripts)" is supposed to do. Why can't I switch off subversion hooks using 
this? Is this a bug I should file or was that intended for something else?

I have a Jenkins server which is triggered by the usual svn hooks on every 
commit. However I also have some very long running jobs which I only want to 
run overnight, when we have spare CPU capacity.

For those jobs I have unticked the option:

[ ] Trigger builds remotely (e.g., from scripts)

But it would appear that that option does not apply to the subversion trigger 
URL (
/server/subversion/${UUID}/notifyCommit?rev=$REV ). How do I ensure that some 
jobs are NOT triggered by the subversion hook along with all the others? I want 
them to run on a timed schedule or polling instead.

I think it works nicely with winstone and the apache ajp proxy.   I
have other things being proxied by the same apache front end so I set
both the jenkins url path and the ajp port for jenkins.  With the
RHEL/Centos rpm package you can do this in /etc/sysconfig/jenkins with
a line like:
  JENKINS_ARGS="--prefix=/jenkins --ajp13Port=8010"
and then add this to /etc/httpd/conf.d/proxy_ajp.conf:
  ProxyPass /jenkins/ ajp://localhost:8010/jenkins/

Other distos may put the config changes in different places.
Also, I made an empty directory /var/www/html/jenkins as a quick fix
so the default apache settings would send a redirect if you omit the
trailing slash on /jenkins/.   There is probably a cleaner way to
accomplish that...

Re: Bullseye Coverage

The users list would be more appropriate for questions like this.

I'm not the domain expert for bullseye coverage, but I wonder if you are

variables you set won't be exposed to later separate invocations of the 
shell.)

But Bullseye doesn't create *.cov file.

I think Jenkins doesn't enable coverage build without covselect command

Re: Jenkins as a Windows service

[Slide]

The web UI is THE way to interact with Jenkins, if the machine is not
available, then there is no way to manage Jenkins remotely. The build
server running Jenkins needs to be accessible. You could set it up
such that only the Jenkins server is accessible and all builds are
done on slaves within another network, but the Jenkins server would
need to be part of both the external network and the internal one.

Re: Jenkins - Defining users

[Sara Silva]

I think i solved it, doing this:

Select:
Jenkins's own user database
Anyone can do anything

then i go to the people and select the user, now the password field is
available, defined it and then log in.

But now i have another issue. I went to the VisualSVN Server and
created a new user. I stop the jenkins service and start again, but
when i go to the people page i have only one user, the first one.

How to update new users?

Re: Jenkins as a Windows service

On Windows server 'A', I have Jenkins installed as a windows Service, and I 
have a few builds jobs created and scheduled.  Developers (in different

that their checkins have not broken the system, and\or, they might want to 
kick off one of the build jobs rather wait for it's scheduled time.  They 
do not have access to system 'A'.  From their own systems, how can they do 
this without being logged onto system 'A'?

Re: Copy Artifact Plugin

[lata]

Alan, I'm trying to use this plugin to copy a tar.gz file from a nightly
build to a test job workspace. the .tar.gz in the nightly build is not an
archived artifact, but it's available in the ws, with it's node online. It
seems like i can't use the copy artifact unless it's archived, is that
right? or is there a way i can copy any file from another Jenkins job's ws,
without having to archive it. Because i really don't want to archive the
huge nightly build, making a copy from the node to the master. thank you!
Maybe that's what Les was looking for, too, copy from the slave and not
master.

Jenkins - Defining users

[Sara Silva]

Hello,

i just installed jenkins in my pc. It is a Windows 7 and i used the
*.exe file.

Now i just run the msbuild using the targets: clean, init, compile,
test and coverage. And i have a windows batch command for run fxCop.

Now i want to configur security and users.

I'm using VisualSVN Server that has one user, sarasilva, and i think
the best configuration in jenkins is to use the same users (?).

In the configuration i'm doing this:

http://s14.postimage.org/gvu930udd/security.png

In the people>sarasilva configuration i have this:

http://s15.postimage.org/y134g5q0b/security_sarasilva_config.png

If i save this configuration, when i try to log in with sarasilva user
this fails, i'm using the same password from the svn server.

What i'm doing wrong?



Thanks

Introduktion til Jenkins Continuous Integration Server

Continuous Integration – er et princip der dikterer, at alle ændringer
skal integreres, i det øjeblik de er skabt – kontinuerligt og
automatisk. Continous Software Validation går skridtet videre - alle
ændringer skal valideres, i det øjeblik de er skabt.

Jenkins Continuous Integration Server hurtigt blevet de facto standard
for Continuous Integration. Og den er hjørnestenen i build- og
softwarevaliderings-systemet og bindeledet mellem samtlige tools i
hele den tool-chain, man ønsker at indføre eller udbygge.

På Jenkins konfigureres jobs, som udover at bygge og eksekvere
unittests også kan tage ansvar for valideringer som statisk
kodeanalyse, rapportering af warnings, coverage-målinger af unittests,
automatisk generering af dokumentation, eksekvering af funktionelle
tests etc.

Vi holder et uformelt gå-hjem-møde med pizza, øl og sodavand, hvor vi
præsenterer Jenkins Continuous Integration og viser dig, hvordan du
nemt kommer i gang, så du allerede dagen efter kan høste synlige
fordele på dine projekter.

Du kan få helt ny viden og indsigt i din kodebase, og du kan skabe
grundlag for ændring af arbejdsgange i udviklingen.

Which container to use for Jenkins on production?

[Nicky Ramone]

Hi

We have been using Tomcat for some time now to deploy Jenkins. We will
probably put this behind an Apache Httpd so that we can redirect from a URL
with no port.
Example: We would forward http://jenkins.ourinstance.com/ to
http://jenkins.ourinstance.com:8080/jenkins

I was wondering if there are other suggestions for the deployment. The
instructions seems to use the embedded Winstone that comes with Jenkins.
What other deployment schemes do you have/suggest, especially for port
redirect?

Thanks.
Regards.

When will the Bugfix be released?

 

Is there testversion or a workaround, I can use, because we are working a lot

RE: Jenkins Jobs hangs at sending email

[Alex Earl]

This would be a change in the specific plugin that is trying to resolve, in
this case either LDAP or Active Directory.

I believe email-ext plugin uses jenkins default mail resolver?
Can we have timeout set to 10seconds for mail resolver?

Thank-you,

Re: Certification

[Stevo Slavić]

Hello Suri,

It seems CloudBees offers training services (see
http://www.cloudbees.com/training.cb ), but I don't see anything about
certification (neither separate nor part of the training).

I guess biggest certification one can get for Jenkins is to become active
comitter or contributor to the project and/or plugins.

Kind regards,
Stevo Slavić.

Re: Set the job to be a flyweight task

[Sebastian Sawicki]

Hi,
Let me explain it explain it more.
There is one 'build scenario parametrized job: S(c);
There are 3 matrix jobs:
M1: with the axis c=C1, C2, C3.
M2: c=C1, C3.
M3: c=C2, C3.

Cause *I would like to avoid copying the S job* each matrix is configured
to run S with the parameter that points the actual configuration.

I.e:
M1 runs:

   - M1 parent (and it is the fly-weight task by default), which runs:
  - M1(c=C1) runs (and do nothing else, therefore I'd like this to be
  fly-weight too):
 - S(c=C1) - this is the actual execution.
 - M1(c=C2) runs (and do nothing else, therefore I'd like this to
  be fly-weight too):
 - S(c=C2) - this is the actual execution.
 - M1(c=C3) runs (and do nothing else, therefore I'd like this to
  be fly-weight too):
 - S(c=C3) - this is the actual execution.

M2 runs:

   - M2 parent (and it is the fly-weight task by default), which runs:
  - M2(c=C1) runs (and do nothing else, therefore I'd like this to be
  fly-weight too):
 - S(c=C1) - this is the actual execution.
 - M2(c=C2) runs (and do nothing else, therefore I'd like this to
  be fly-weight too):
 - S(c=C2) - this is the actual execution.

M3 runs:

   - M3 parent (and it is the fly-weight task by default), which runs:
  - M3(c=C2) runs (and do nothing else, therefore I'd like this to be
  fly-weight too):
 - S(c=C2) - this is the actual execution.
 - M3(c=C3) runs (and do nothing else, therefore I'd like this to
  be fly-weight too):
 - S(c=C3) - this is the actual execution.

S needs to be configured to let concurrent builds.
M... children (i.e. the matrix job for each configuration - M...(c=...))
just triggers the S job passing the actual configuration to it and waits
for the result.
Therefore I would like this waiting not to consume the jenkins-configured
executor (thus I understand that it will consume a little from real
resurorces of one of the slaves).

Re: User Prompts

[shanz]

Chris,
Yes I also do exactly that too.
First job asks questions with parameters and populates a property file 
which envinject interrogates for each subsequent job.
I found this simpler and less error prone than just relying on passing on 
the parameters to each job.
I'll make do for now until I can automate absolutely everything.
Thanks.

 I guess the question is, how are the consecutive jobs being run at the

 I know I can use the Parameterized Builds plugin to prompt for user

 I want to ask for user input (eg: Boolean tick box - have you done 
 xyz?), in a job which is in the middle of a list of consecutive jobs.
 Is this possible?

Re: Set the job to be a flyweight task

[Simon Wiest]

Hi Sebastian,

the 'parent' matrix builds are always fly-weight tasks. So you do not 
need to configure that explicitly. Only the individual 'child' matrix 
runs spawn by the matrix build (in your example: C1, C2, C2, ...)  will 
take up an executor.


By the way: matrix runs are executed in parallel by default. You would 
have to check the "Run each configuration sequentially" option 
explicitly to switch that off.


Do you experience any specific problem with your current setup?

Cheers,
Simon.

Sebastian Sawicki (18.06.2012 02:11):

Hi,
I've got one build scenario (Scenario) which can be run by several
configurations:
Scenario(Configuration c) where c=C1, C2, C3,...

The matrix build would fit here, cause I can set the configuration axes
to cover each Configuration.
However, what I need is to build some subset of those configurations in
a few different matrixes i.e.:
M1: C1, C2, C3.
M2: C1, C3.
M3: C2, C3.

Therefore I thought about setting the Scenario as a parametrized job
(where the current configuration will be set in the parameters) with the
option set to enable concurrent builds. And then to launch this job with
the given parameters from the matrix child build.
As I understand this approach will consume 2 executors for each running
configuration build (one for the matrix and second for the actual
Scenario) although the matrix build will not do anything but waiting for
the Scenario to complete and then just archive its artifacts.

So here comes my question: If there is a possibility to set this whole
matrix to act as flyweight task (and not to consume any
jenkins-configured executor), since the job is done only by the Scenario
and the matrix is intended just to choose which configurations would run?

Hi

Can anyone suggest me, Whether any certification exam is available for
Jenkins ?

If yes, How to participate Jenkins Certification exam?
