Re: Deployment Tools

[Marek Gimza]

Suri,

In my view there are different levels of deployment of a SW product, and I
think that I personally would try to utilize any Jenkins plugins to
compress, copy, package your SW.  If you are using Jenkins to build and
test your SW, then you have all of the env vars, build and test results, as
well as enough info about your resources (i.e. disk space) to package and
deploy your SW product.

The tool(s) to provide a WEB front end that lists your SW product releases,
can be a simple WEB page that references the location where you store/keep
the packaged SW products.

Try to keep it simple and effective!

I hope that this helps,
MGimza

Re: hudson.util.IOException2: remote file operation failed

[Marek Gimza]

We had the same problem.
After reading through some of the blogs and tickets, we deduced the
problem to be in the compatibility of the Java JRE on the slave and
master.

Try checking the versions of the JAVA that runs the master and slave,
as well as makign sure that the jenkins slave agent on the slave
machine is properly restarted.

I hope that this helps,

Re: Jelly script, for email

[Marek Gimza]

Jelly scripting is quite powerful.
I noticed that it is possible to even open/close file handles with JELLY.
It is just a question of learning the concept and the appropriate tags to
use in the .jelly script.

I think that it is safe to say that you could perform a google or yahoo
search on "jelly scripting" to find some goo documentation and examples.

Re: Advice needed on setting up multiple jobs that build common code

[Marek Gimza]

Hi Irwin,

We took two approaches to a similar requirement.

1. For common code that are built as libraries, we build separately.  As
this code does not change too often, we assume that the libraries are
available for the other builds/jobs.

2. We used the Multi-Job plugin to 'group' and 'order' the build steps for
each Job.

I hope that this may help,

Re: Node priority

[Marek Gimza]

This is a good question.

I also has been trying to design/implement something with a requirement to
prioritize the Nodes/slaves based on local-disk, shared-disk, memory, the
number of cores, etc

The intent is to be able for Jenkins to choose the best slave based on
these criteria.
I have this idea on paper only.
I have not progressed so quickly with this idea as I am hoping that I can
find a public-source 'cloud' system that would support this requirement.
At present I am investigating CHEF.

I also would like to hear from anyone on this topic.

I hope that this may help,

Re: convert a shell file

[Marek Gimza]

Do you have a linux/unix machine?

If so, then either run an instance of Jenkins on that machine to run the
shell scripts, OR setup the Linux/unix machine as a slave to run the job.

Alternatively, you could call dos2unix as a build-step to do the conversion
before running your task(s).

Re: Double slave for job

[Marek Gimza]

It may not fit your exact needs, but I configured Jenkins such that all
child-jobs spawned/started by a given "parent-Job" can:

1. Run on any slave
2. Use the same "Custom Workspace" as set in the "parent-Job"  (has to be
on a shared-drive that is accessible to the slaves)
3. Each "child-job" sends a report.
4. The "parent-job" also sends a final report once all "child-jobs" are
complete.


I used the Multi-Job plugin, Node Labeling to group the slaves for specific
Jobs, a some changes in the Jenkins core to create a new Checkbox next to
the "Custom Workspace" field in the "Jobs" configuration (Advanced section).

I can provide you with more details and the diff patches if this may work
for you.

Re: Limit simultaneous execution of job by distinct parameters?

[Marek Gimza]

One option, I think, would be to use the Node Labels.

In the Node Configuration page, you can set the "Label" field with a
space-separated list of text-names (labels) that can be referenced in a
Job's configuration page.

Now, what I have done for some projects, is to have a String Parameter in
the job configuration, called HOST_MACHINE, which represents the Host to
run on.

Then in the field to specify the machines on which this job can run, I used
variable to the parameter ${HOST_MACHINE} .
(This field is in the Advanced section of the job configuration page)

When starting this job, I gave the appropriate LABEL (defined in the
host-configuration page) to the HOST_MACHINE param and not the actual
host-name.  Jenkins then finds the next available slave/node with has this
label to run the job.

I also used the Throttle plugin to control how many jobs I can run
concurrently.


I hope that this helps,
Mgimza

Re: Publish artifacts on web page for download plugin - quick question

[Marek Gimza]

If you are only interested in the artifacts and not the build
metrics/stats, then my personal opinion would be to have a separate web
site that publishes the artifacts.

I am intending to use Drupal (drupal.org), but simple html pages with some
javascript coding would work.

Also, I think that the plugin to copy the artifacts over ssh, also provide
you with a field to run a script as well.  If this is the case, you could
also create the appropriate text file (i.e. xml) to capture the basic build
info, such BUILD_NUMBER, with the location to the artifacts.

The possibilities are endless!

Re: Report C++ compiling errors in Jenkins

[Marek Gimza]

We use the LogParser plugin.

http://wiki.hudson-ci.org/display/HUDSON/Log+Parser+Plugin

It allows you to specify reg-expressions in a text file that are used when
parsing the results of the build steps.


Unfortunately this happens at the end of the build and not at the
build-step.

Re: Jenkins email ext plugin -To Send the file contents as mail

[Marek Gimza]

I think that the iframe would work in a jelly script/
There should be enough documentation in the "Email Ext" plugin's TWIKI page
about jelly scripts.

My quick summary of what could be done:


1. Create the subdir $JENKINS_HOME/email-templates


2. In that subdir create a file called test.jelly.
Its contents would be something similar to:




BODY, TABLE, TD, TH, P {
  font-family:Verdana,Helvetica,sans serif;
  font-size:11px;
  color:black;
}
h1 { color:black; }
h2 { color:black; }
h3 { color:black; }
TD.bg1 { color:white; background-color:#C0; font-size:120% }
TD.bg2 { color:white; background-color:#4040FF; font-size:110% }
TD.bg3 { color:white; background-color:#8080FF; }
TD.test_passed { color:blue; }
TD.test_failed { color:red; }
TD.console { font-family:Courier New; }







$PROJECT_NAME - Build # $BUILD_NUMBER - $BUILD_STATUS:

http://www.w3schools.com"; width="200"
height="200">you should have seen my other page here, but something
broke.

Check console output at $BUILD_URL to view the results.

Failed tests: ${FAILED_TESTS}



  

  

  
  

  
  

  

  BUILD
${build.result}
  Build URL${rooturl}${build.url}
  Project:${project.name}
  Date of build:${it.timestampString}
  Build duration:${build.durationString}







3. In the JOB, add the following line in the email's DEFAULT_CONTENT to
parse/use the jelly file:

${JELLY_SCRIPT,template="test"}



I hope that this may help,
Mgimza

Re: Execute shell failure

[Marek Gimza]

I am not sure about MAC, but on linux there is a config file that can be
modified to specify the user and group to which Jenkins should.

On Linux this file is  /etc/sysconfig/jenkins


The variables to add/modify:
# Unix user account that runs the Jenkins daemon
# Be careful when you change this, as you need to update
# permissions of $JENKINS_HOME and /var/log/jenkins.
#
JENKINS_USER=""
JENKINS_GROUP=""

Yes a very good  point.

Only as a test, what would happen if you changed the permissions on the

 I have searched through the archives looking for an answer but haven't
 yet been able to find a solution to my problem (even though it appears this
 question has been asked before)

 I have specific build output that I need to load into my email-ext
 script (a specially formatted version string) so I have the following code
 in the start of my groovy script which works fine if everything is executed
 from the master but fails otherwise

  <% def versionString = ""
 fr = new FileReader(build.workspace.**toString() +
 "\\Build\\version.txt")
 if (fr != null) {
 versionString = fr.readLine()
 } %>

 Produces the following error:
 Exception: javax.script.ScriptException:
 java.io.FileNotFoundException: 
 c:\jenkins\workspace\project_**name\Build\version.txt
 (No such file or directory)

 

 So aside from the obvious need for a try/catch block does anyone have
 a recommendation for loading a file from a slave?
 Regards,
 Bryan H.

 P.S. Is there a way to change the MimeMessage.subject from inside the
 groovy body script (or do I have to ask my administrator to kindly update
 the plugin to a version > 2.22)?

Re: 答复: How can jenkins master share slave nodes.

[Marek Gimza]

Mikesell,

Sorry for responding a bit late, but it is better than not at all!

We have a setup where:
1. The Nodes/Slaves are chosen from the master by Node-Label.
2. We use the MultiJob plugin to start all jobs from the master.
3. The WORKSPACE is determined by the parent JOB/BUILD on the master, and
passed down to each child job/build.  We had to slightly modify
AbstractProject.java, AbstractBuild.java and
resources/lib/hudson/project/config-customWorkspace.jelly such that the
parent JOB/BUILD could allocate the WORKSPACE using the parent Job's
CustomWorkspace and not the Node's "Remote FS Root" path.

This setup allows all of the builds to share the machines without any
conflict for the build's WORKSPACE.

I hope that this helps.

Let me know if you would like to know about the code changes we made to
support this setup.

Re: Can I restart a job automatically if it fails ?

[Marek Gimza]

Steve,

Yes this is possible.

The plugin you want is :
Centralized 
Job(Re)Action
Centralized configuration to restart jobs when a pattern occurs in the job
console output.

It may not be ideal, but definitely helps!

Re: Automatic reconnect after manual disconnect.

[Marek Gimza]

Pawel,


As an interim solution, you could have a build step that runs either a
groovy script or the Jenkins-cli to "disconnect-node" and "connect-node" .

This is not an ideal solution!

Strange that Jenkins does not know which nodes are disconnected and tries
to re-connect.

Re: Jenkins Database Envy - is it just me?

[Marek Gimza]

My thoughts on the discussion

I have also tried to work with Jenkins which have the same requirement:
"I want to be able to read from and write to the database of builds and
build results without HTTPing through the server.  I’d also like to not
have everything in core all the time"

Though, do we need a database?

Maybe we just need to improve the Jenkins cmd-line and some of the features
in which Jenkins manages its build-data.

I personally like designing/developing systems using VIEW-Objects,
Business-Objects and Data-Access-Objects.
The Data-Access-Objects can access either a dbase, filesystem, or anything
you desire, without affecting the core.

Re: What is the difference between multi configuration job and matrix based job?.

[Marek Gimza]

I hope that the following makes sense:

Multi configuration Job:  Allows you to create separate jobs to run
sequentially or concurrently as build steps.  Each Job will be its own Job.

Matrix: You have the same 1 job that needs to be run on different machines.

I think that the best thing to do is to create test jobs to C what the
Matrix and MultiJobs do.


Anyone out there ... please correct me if I am wrong!

Re: Jenkins + Email-ext - How to configure per-project settings?

[Marek Gimza]

I have noticed the same problem with other plugins on former versions of
Jenkins/Hudson.

With some plugins, the configuration web page may work in Firefox, but not
in IExplorer ... and visa verca.

I have had to un-install and install different versions of Hudson/Jenkins
to get things to properly work in both web browers!

I have not experienced this problem with Jenkins 1.479 and higher.

Re: Perforce Plugin and PATH

[Marek Gimza]

Thanks for the reply Rob.

After some thinking over the weekend, over an earlier reply, the options to
get around this problem would be to escape the '@' or using the relative
path to the files using the P4_CLIENT view.

I will try to modify my setup to reference the files in the P4 command
using the relative path for the given P4_CLIENT.
I think that this is the best approach.  It also verifies that my P4_CLIENT
for the given build step is correctly set.

Thanks,
Mgimza

Re: 'Even Load Strategy' Plugin

Nicolas,

Will the CloudBees plugins installed on my local jenkins allow me to
utilize my own machines and resources?

Re: 'Even Load Strategy' Plugin

[Marek Gimza]

David,

We are also looking into this.

One option that I am considering is to create a plugin that will utilize
the Hudson.model.queue.MappingWorksheet and Hudson.model.Queue classes to
determine the best slave.

At present, it seems that the system will choose the last slave that was
used for the same job.

I will share any design/thoughts/changes if and when I have them.

Re: forcing a job to run on a variety of slaves

[Marek Gimza]

Another option is to use the build-matrix.  If you are performing the same
job, but from different machines, then the Matrix may be a good choice:

https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Building+a+matrix+project


I hope that this helps.

Re: Taking a lot of disk space

[Marek Gimza]

Ah I C !

Are the log files under each stored builds large?
If so, this could mean that the builds are updating the logfiles with too
much data.

Are there any dirs (containing logfiles) under the builds directory that
should have been auto-deleted, based on the job configuration setting to
only keep a certain number of builds?

I hope that my questions may lead to resolving your problem.

Kind Regards,
Marek

Re: Taking a lot of disk space

[Marek Gimza]

Miguel,

Is the workspace directory under the
/usr/share/tomcat6/.jenkins/jobs/ directories?
This could be the reason for the disk usage.
The workspace is the directory to which jenkins will sync and perform your
build-steps.


You could take advantage of the "customWorkspace" field in the job
configuration or the "Remote FS root" field in the Node's configuration to
specify a different directory to store the workspace.

We use these fields to specify our workspace for each job to be different
than the job's meta-data, such as log-files, which is still under the
${JENKINS_HOME}/jobs/ directories.


Kind Regards,
Marek
