Why do some sites use a container for the Jenkins server?

2016-09-27 Thread Richard Otter
I'm untrained in web technology, so please read between the lines ...

Our site uses the built-in web server in the Jenkins.war file, (still at
v1.651.3)

For years, we've been unhappy with the web interface's responsiveness when
opening Job links. Moving around in the non-Job pages, like Manage
Jenkins,nodes etc., is fast.
The server machine certainly uses lots of RAM (4 GB out of 8), but it's CPU
utilization seems usually to be low.

Would running Jenkins in a "container" like TomCat help us?

Why do people use apps like TomCat?

Thanks!
Richard

Resend: Publish Over CIFS Plugin fails when used over internet

2013-05-14 Thread Richard Otter
This is a show stopper for us.  Any ideas?

Thanks!

 

 

I have started to use the Publish Over CIFS Plugin because I have tried to
move some of our build machines to Amazon EC2. 

I formerly just did a file copy to our Windows server file share from the
Windows slaves because they were running as users with the correct
permissions. 

Anyway, in the new environment where some builds may be coming from nodes
running as non-domain users, I figured I'd use this plugin with the Always
transfer from master option.

 

It works, sort of.

Local build machines transfer the file reliably. However, from Amazon EC2
the transfers never finish.

 

My build artifact (the setup.exe file) is about 150 MB. I can't get
anything to transfer bigger than 88 MB using the plugin. In the morning, the
build progress is bright red. I cancel the job and see:

 

18:16:10 CIFS: Connecting from host [usherapp42]

18:16:10 CIFS: Connecting with configuration [PT-SoftwareDev] ...

09:26:03 CIFS: Disconnecting configuration [PT-SoftwareDev] ...

09:26:03 ERROR: Exception when publishing, exception message [null]

09:26:03 Build step 'Send build artifacts to a windows share' changed build
result to FAILURE

09:26:03 Build step 'Send build artifacts to a windows share' marked build
as failure

 

The wiki for the plugin talks about parameters like Retries that I don't
see in either the Jenkins config or the job config.

RE: Open visual studio command line for build

2012-12-03 Thread Richard Otter
We use Visual Studio to run unit tests and acquire code coverage.

 

If you know how to do that without a full VS install, please let me know.

There isn't anything that can be accomplished in VS that can't be accomplished 
in MSBuild. By putting VS on the build server you risk having libraries int he 
GAC or in ..\Tools\ that aren't available on other machines.

Hi,

Is there a way in jenkins to run a build in visual studio command line rather 
then windows command line?

Thanks  regards,
