Perforce Plugin and PATH

[Erling Andersen]

Hi

We have had problem with the Perforce plugin on Windows. The issue is 
related to which PATH is used when the the p4 command is run.
We thought that PATH would have the value defined on the node in Jenkins 
and NOT the PATH value defined on the machine and know by Java.
We define PATH on each node inside Jenkins on the configure page on the 
nodes.

Is it not possible to define PATH on each node? And should not that valued 
by used by running p4?

Re: Using variables within the Jenkins email subject lines ?

[Tom80112]

I loaded the EnvInject plugin and tried that before posting here.

Inside the shell script section, I set a variable called "subject" to to a
different
text string depending on outcomes within the shell script section.

I then did a printf "subject=$subject\n" >tmp.env

I then specified tmp.env on the first line of the EnvInject.  This is all I
did for the EnvInject block.  Did I need to fill in anything else?

I then used "editable email"  and placed $subject in the subject line.
The email came in with a subject line of:   $subject(not evaluated)

Cascading Maven releases...

[Jeff]

In our current set of projects we have multiple (30+) JAR files that are
used by our 6 or 7 top-level web applications.

At the end of each sprint, we perform a Maven release for all modules
worked on or affected by an upstream dependency in that sprint.  It is
quite time consuming to release all the modules and would seem to lend
itself to a plugin that can automatically parse through the SNAPSHOT
dependencies, determine if there is a current job for that artifact, then
release all dependent projects.

Is there such a plugin or has anyone experimented with adding that
capability?  I couldn't find anything but am interested in pursuing a
solution.

Thanks!

Resolved: deploy to Spring Insight server?

[Ed Young]

I don't know what made me think that the embedded Tomcat server was Tomcat
7.0, but when I configured Jenkins to deploy to a Tomcat 6.0 server, that
deployment worked just like every other Tomcat 6.0 instance I've ever set
up.

I burned more than a few hours barking up the wrong tree, but in the
meantime I learned how to set up and run hyperic agent and hyperic server
which will likely prove valuable.

Re: Unable to connect to the remote TFS server

Hi

I just tried with VS 2010 and CodePlex (since I dont have a TFS

The error says that the tf tool cant connect to the server, can you

Re: Problem with post commit hook trigger and looping project build

[giuliano]

So, perhaps you can do it within jenkins.

- Method 1: Use two jobs. The first one is triggered by a git post commit 
hook. It looks at the git log and exits if the author or message matches a 
pattern. Otherwise it triggers the second real build job.

- Method 2: Not sure if this will work. a) use a pre-scm build step to 
detect if author/message matches b) conditional build step that exits if 
there was a match.
I'm not sure how to stop the job sucessfully. Perhaps a groovy script.

Re: Problem using deploy mojo

Looks like one of your tomcat6-maven plugin is out of date. Of course, 
since you can't start jenkins you need to fix that outside of jenkins.
- Shut down jenkins
- cd $JENKINS_FOLDER/plugins
- mkdir ../plugins-save
- mv $PLUGIN ../plugins-save/
- mv $PLUGIN.hpi ../plugins-save
- Start jenkins

Re: Using variables within the Jenkins email subject lines ?

You can use vars generated with a shell script. What we do is write them to 
a file, then use the "Inject environment variables" plugin.

RE: Feedback of your CI architecture

[Mandeville, Rob]

Having the Jenkins server on a host that doesn’t run builds isn’t just 
interesting, it’s a good idea.  The only downside that I see is that the 
slave-master communication (probably dominated by your build logs and 
artifacts) is slowed down to network speeds rather than the speed of your 
loopback adapter.  I’m running in this configuration with 170+ slave nodes 
scattered across over a dozen build hosts (each build takes up a user account, 
so we need multiple slaves per host).  We basically build 60 different SCM 
branches of the same project.

Multiple masters can be useful.  I have one master for my build jobs, another 
one for housekeeping (I find it better than cron because it’s more visible and 
doesn’t spam you with email, and it’s also useful for some of your more routine 
command lines), and some people on a side project set up their own.  Part of 
the question is organizational: Jenkins is small enough that somebody working 
on a small project can set their own up, if they’re willing to spend a little 
of maintenance time.  That can keep you less involved in smaller projects, if 
this sort of a thing is acceptable to your organization.

Subject: Feedback of your CI architecture

Hi all,

Currently, we manage near 250 jobs related to several java projects and several 
teams in our company.

Our CI architecture characteristics :
- a Jenkins master on AIX 5.3 with 8 processors and 10 GB of RAM
- 3 RHEL slaves with 2 processors and 4 GB of RAM
- 2 Windows slaves with 1 processors and 2 GB of RAM

We arrive sometimes has limitations with Jenkins. Especially during releases.

Due to an increase of job number in our Jenkins in my company,  we want to 
change our architecture to meet our needs. We are going to manage near 500 jobs.
We want to switch the master on a RHEL OS (our new main target platform) and 
add an AIX slave for projects that need this platform.

Here are our thoughts :
- Do you think it would be interesting to have a master only used to monitor 
the jobs (0 executor, all builds are delegate to slaves) ?
This could be interesting to have a more stable and more reliable master.

- On the other hand, do you think it could be interesting to use multiple 
masters ? One for each team for example ?
This could be nice to have a more specialized master per team but I guess it 
must increase the maintenance time.


I need feedbacks from the community to choose the best architecture :
How many jobs do you manage ?
What are the characteristics of your architecture ? (number of slaves, of 
master ??)
Would you prefer to use a slave with large capacity, or more with capacities 
smaller?


Thanks in advance from any help and feeback !

RE: What user does a build run under?

[Mandeville, Rob]

A build is run under the user account that the slave is under.  If you launch 
your slaves from the master, that’s the same as the user the Jenkins server is 
running under (unless the slave launcher is changing the user on the fly—I do 
that on my Linux setup using sudo).  If you’re using JNLP or launching 
headlessly (see 
https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Distributed+builds), the job will 
run as whatever user is launching the slave.

There’s a possible security concern here.  If the Jenkins server is running as 
user Fred, and the slave is set up as user Barney, then whoever controls the 
server can execute arbitrary commands as user Barney through the slave.  This 
may or may not be a bad thing, just be aware of it.

Sorry if this has been asked before I can't seem to find anything that matches 
exactly my scenario.

I am using Jenkins 1.483 and trying to a job to run a batch file on my local 
Windows 7 system to gain experience with using Jenkins and how we would 
automate our builds.
I don't have anything additional set in the out of the box version of Jenkins 
other than a job and build pointing at this batch file.

The first thing this batch file does, is invoke a vbs script on a machine 
within our Active directory secured network.
This works fine from the command line however when run through Jenkins it seems 
to run under a different user and hence I cannot access the network.

The error seen is simply:
The password is invalid for \\\>

from a

I would like the build process to be run by the user that started the Jenkins 
process/service rather than add Security to Jenkins and have it use the user 
that invoked the build (where this may differ - in my case right now these of 
course are just me in both cases). That said I did try and secure Jenkins and 
add the active directory plugin and run the build again under my login and 
still got the same failure so I guess I am just missing somewhere that 
indicates what user a build should be invoked under.

Thanks in advance for any advice here.

Re: What user does a build run under?

Ronan,

My guess is that you have the agent configured to run as a service, rather
than a java process on the desktop.  If so, you'll need to set that service
to run as a specific user rather than local system account.  That can be
found under the LogOn tab of the jenkins service in question.

Since you mentioned moving to RHEL, you'll probably want to use the
RPM that will include winstone and a working configuration.  I don't
think any other approach would be enough different to break what the
rpm will do automatically.   You can change the port to not conflict
with a stock tomcat and/or proxy through apache if you want it to
appear on port 80, though.

I don't think it really matters as long as you have the resources in
the right places for the jobs you are running.  However, that is
somewhat easier to manage when all jobs go to a pool of slaves.   You
at least would not want the builds to be happening on the same
physical disk where  the jenkins  master job directory resides.

I would only do that if you need to closely control access permissions
or have problems with sharing resources.

There is hardly any maintenance time for a yum-installed jenkins
instance, but it might be harder to keep the pools of slaves matched
to the jobs with several masters.   I'd make this decision more on
management/budget concerns than anything technical.


> I need feedbacks from the community to choose the best architecture :
> How many jobs do you manage ?

200+ currently, and don't expect problems with more.  Frequency of
builds might be a better metric and I don't know where to find a
meaningful metric for that (like average queue wait).

1 master, 17 slaves, some are seldom-used architectures.

More, but capacity needs to be 'large enough'.  Most of our slaves are
VMs running about 4 to a physical host (a mix of frequently/seldom
used instances...).   I like to have jobs tied to labels, enough
slaves in a labeled group that having one or two down for maintenance
won't be noticed, and nothing of importance ever stored on a slave so
you can just spin up a new VM image as a replacement if you have any
problems.

Re: Automatic diagram

[Mark Waite]

I viewed it in exactly the opposite direction.  If using a freely available, 
easily installed external program allows the plugin to be implemented faster 
and cleaner and simpler, then I'd rather have it implemented sooner with the 
external program.  I suspect that specifying a graph in graphviz is much 
simpler and more reliable than creating the Java and HTML code necessary to do 
the same thing in Java or HTML.

If the original implementer of the git plugin had decided that he must not use 
external programs, it would likely have delayed the git plugin by months or 
years while waiting for a sufficiently complete native java implementation of 
git.  There are many SCM systems (and other tools) which are only available as 
external programs, so I don't think we'll be able to avoid referencing external 
tools from a continuous integration server.

Re: Does jenkins periodically re check out the workspace

[Mark Waite]

I've never seen a "re-check out" of the workspace which was not the result of 
some condition which I could reasonably explain.  Some of the cases I've seen 
where a new build is started have included:

- scheduled build with the "clean workspace" setting enabled in the SCM plugin
- new change on the source control system which a source control poll detected
- slave which hosted the last build has disconnected from the master

There are probably other cases as well.  Is there a pattern that you're 
observing in your re-check out of the workspace related to any of those?

Feedback of your CI architecture

[mpapo - Michaël Pailloncy]

Hi all,

Currently, we manage near 250 jobs related to several java projects and 
several teams in our company.

Our CI architecture characteristics : 
- a Jenkins master on AIX 5.3 with 8 processors and 10 GB of RAM
- 3 RHEL slaves with 2 processors and 4 GB of RAM
- 2 Windows slaves with 1 processors and 2 GB of RAM

We arrive sometimes has limitations with Jenkins. Especially during 
releases.

Due to an increase of job number in our Jenkins in my company,  we want to 
change our architecture to meet our needs. We are going to manage near 500 
jobs.
We want to switch the master on a RHEL OS (our new main target platform) 
and add an AIX slave for projects that need this platform.

Here are our thoughts :

- Do you think it would be interesting to have a master only used to 
monitor the jobs (0 executor, all builds are delegate to slaves) ? 

This could be interesting to have a more stable and more reliable master.

- On the other hand, do you think it could be interesting to use multiple 
masters ? One for each team for example ?

This could be nice to have a more specialized master per team but I guess 
it must increase the maintenance time.



I need feedbacks from the community to choose the best architecture :
How many jobs do you manage ?
What are the characteristics of your architecture ? (number of slaves, of 
master ??)
Would you prefer to use a slave with large capacity, or more with 
capacities smaller?


Thanks in advance from any help and feeback !

Michaël Pailloncy

 

Re: multiple runs claiming to be #

[cjo]

I saw a similar issue once when I miss configured an instance, when the 
builds directory was set the same for all projects.
 

>From the paths to the builds you give, it seems like you have the same 
problem.

under the Manage Jenkins/configure page 
advanced section under home path.

check that the path to the builds directory has the $PROJECT_NAME (check 
the help for correct variable) specified in it somewhere.


The reason for this is that Jenkins uses the build folders 
(2012-09-26_11-01-17, etc) as referencs for the past builds, so having them 
all generated into the same root directory causes it to see all build 
results for every job. And if the OS supports links these are overridden by 
the job that last ran, causing links to be pointing to different builds 
than they should be.

Re: Automatic diagram

Hello
sorry for this late answer

I didnt pay attention but indeed it is working
Nevertheless i found pity that we need another graphical lib, i am sure 
that a plugin could be done with java tools only or html object, i really 
prefer a plugin which not needs external binaries.

multiple runs claiming to be #

[Felix Köhler]

Hi erveryone,

Im new to this list. I tried serveral other communication way but found no 
good solution.

After i restarted my Server with my tomcat/jenkins installation i got a 
strange problem.
Every Job (if they are the same type - Free Job Configuration) they have 
the same Build History. 

For example at job "Alice Project" the build number was 107 and an other 
job "Bob Project" with the highest build number 42 in the Build History. 
After restarting, every Job has the same Build History. If i start a new 
build on "Bob Project", the new choosen build number is correct 43. But 
this number is not shown on the in the Build history because the highest 
number shown is #107 and so #43 will not displayed. The Alice and Bob 
Project are on the same git repository and it makes no difference if they 
are on different branches.

When i check the Tomcatlog i get serval warnings like:

WARNUNG: multiple runs claiming to be #0; using run from 
C:\Jenkins\builds\2012-09-26_10-55-40

   - 5 Jobs on the same git-repsoitory

I have to add that i get an Error while stopping Tomcat but i think that 
they different problems.

deploy to Spring Insight server?

[Ed Young]

I'm trying unsuccessfully  to deploy from jenkins to the Spring Insight
server (embedded tomcat 7)  using the Jenkins Deploy to Container plugin
https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Deploy+Plugin

Is this the right plugin or is there another for Spring Insight?

I've used it to deploy successfully to Tomcat 6.0 and to Tomcat 7.0 app
servers in the past. I believe the embedded tomcat server is a Tomcat 7.0
instance so I've configured the plugin so it deploys to Tomcat 7.0 and I've
configured the embedded Tomcat tomcat-users.xml with
roles="admin-gui,manager-gui,manager-script" as prescribed for Tomcst 7.0.

The app is the ROOT.war app so the context is /.

I've set the tomcat url to http://lite-dev.cable.company.com/manager/htmland to
http://lite-dev.cable.company.com and to
http://lite-dev.cable.company.com/in desperate attempts to have some
success but so far no luck.

Re: CVS Users <-> Jenkins Users (using Active Directory etc)

[John McCabe]

Thank you for that Nicolas. There are a couple of things I'm slightly 
confused by.
 
First of all, that page says this plugin is not yet released (and it's not 
on the download page as far as I can see - which I need as I've got an 
offline install!). Is that correct?
 
Secondly you mention that the SCM plugins will need to be modified. Am I 
right in presuming that this hasn't yet been done? If so, do you have any 
idea when all this will get to the stage that it will all work together?
 
Thanks again
John

Build flow - allow additional build steps

[Reuben Gow]

Hi,

I would like to be able to add additional build steps before and after the 
DSL in a 'Build Flow' job. I want to be able to execute system groovy 
scripts and shell scripts before to prepare certain things before kicking 
off other builds. Would it be possible for this functionality to be added 
to the plugin?

Thanks

Credentials provides a core abstraction. In order for that abstraction to
be of any value, the abstraction needs to be used by the open source
plugins, such as ssh-slaves, subversion, git, jira, etc

As such the plugin needs to be open source.

The higher level functionality that we have in mind based off of, e.g. our
RBAC plugin, etc can remain closed source... though some of the use cases
that we have driving that have to wait for more open source plugins to
support Credentials.

Credentials was easy!

Hi Stephen

Thanks for the indication that there is some hope that 'Even Load Strategy' 
could one day become free.

However, I can't imagine what a supporting business case might be.

What business case did you make for 'Credentials'?

So for example the Folders plugin started off life as a Paid plugin, it is

The Credentials plugin started off life as being Paid functionality that

Hi Stephen

So, just to be clear, is the 'Even Load Strategy' Plugin only available under 
the paid license?

The evaluation license is a time limited full license allowing the use of all 
CloudBees plugins.

We have three license types:

* Free license - covers the free (but closed source) plugins, e.g. folders, 
cloud-backup, etc

* Evalutation license - a time limited license for all plugins with no 
restrictions (other than the time)

* Paid license - a license for all plugins and a set number of executors.

This seems to imply that an evaluation license is only to evaluate, not to use 
for production.  Production use of the plugins requires a purchased license.

Well, I don't know. It looks like an evaluation license to me.

What make you think this is for evaluation purpose only ? This reveals we are
