Scaling question - 1500 jobs a night?

[Anthony Wesley]

Hiya,

Clear question up front: what additional concerns should I have when 
running 1500 jobs a night?  

Details:
We are using Jenkins to run integration tests for our software.  I wrote a 
pipeline script to operate on a single chunk of data representing a test 
case.  However, I have roughly 1500 permutations of this data.  I have 
never asked this much of Jenkins.  
It finishes quick enough, especially thanks to parallel builds (this is 
precisely why we are using Jenkins to run these tests - we can distribute 
this across our nodes very easily and it handles scheduling for us).  

My guess is that this is well within Jenkins' limits and we are managing 
our workspaces with good hygiene.  A year from now, however, I will have 
ran half a million Jenkins jobs.  Any thoughts on that?

Thank you very kindly,

Anthony Wesley

Certificate Credentials Binding: How to use

[anthony . charles . green]

I've been unable to find instructions on how to use the certificate setting 
with the credentials binding plugin. Selecting certificate gives you 4 
fields: Keystore Variable, Password Variable, Alias Variable and 
Credentials. Credentials presents a dropdown menu allowing you to select a 
certificate from Jenkins Credentials Store.
I'm trying to test its use with a simple execute shell build step that 
calls curl on an API that requires you to present a certificate.
Advice?
TIA
Anthony

Injecting environmental variables in build thats uses NodeJS Plugin

[Anthony Green]

I have a job that publishes to a private NPM repo.

The job is uses the NodeJS Plugin to provide an instance of node

To publish to NPM you need an .npmrc file specifying your auth token

In Jenkins configuration I have a managed file containing

//registry.npmjs.org/:_authToken=$NPM_AUTH_TOKEN

with the intention that $NPM_AUTH_TOKEN is injected as an environment 
variable

So under *Bindings*

I add it as a *Secret Text*

just using the system node this works but using the NodeJS Plugin it doesn't

If under *Build Environment* I


*Inject environment variables to the build process*
with the following groovy script


import jenkins.*
import jenkins.model.*
import com.cloudbees.plugins.credentials.Credentials

def credentials = 
com.cloudbees.plugins.credentials.CredentialsProvider.lookupCredentials(com.cloudbees.plugins.credentials.Credentials.class);

def npm_creds =[:]
for (c in credentials) {
  if (c.id == 'NPM_AUTH_TOKEN') {
npm_creds = ['NPM_AUTH_TOKEN': c.secret]
  }
}

return npm_creds

then the NodeJS plug does pick up the NPM_AUTH_TOKEN

Can anyone suggest either:

A simpler groovy script that just uses getCredentialById 

or a simpler way for NodeJS to pick up the environment variable ?

TIA

Anthony

Re: System testing across multiple crossplatform slaves/nodes?

[Anthony Rabaa]

Have you considered assigning labels to the nodes?

node(“Windows”) {
// Do some work.
}

node(“Linux”) {
// Do some other work.
}

Subject: System testing across multiple crossplatform slaves/nodes?

Hello,

I'm working with a legacy system which is using Jenkins for automated testing, 
and attempting to upgrade and modernize it.

The issue is, that it is a large cross platform project. Where a job usually 
must have at least two nodes at the same time: one big Linux node and one 
smaller windows node.
For example: start a simulator/emulator on windows, and then start the rest of 
the software on Linux. In production, the simulator/emulator is replaced with a 
physical machine.

Currently, the solution has been to set up the Linux nodes as usual Jenkins 
slaves, and then manually map each executor node to a windows VM... The pool of 
Windows machines aren't known by Jenkins.
The current situation is and has been working. But you can imagine this doesn't 
scale dynamically, which is a requirement for the future.
There are some jobs which do not require both a Linux and Windows pair, so 
while those are run it would be nice to have the pairs not so statically bound 
to each other.

Work has begun to containerize and port everything to Linux, but in the 
meantime are there other Jenkins users who have similar requirements?

Thanks,

Alexander Moriarty

Jenkins Workspace

[Anthony Talak]

Hi everyone,

I'm wondering where on the server Jenkins would store the default 
workspace. I would assume it should be under 
Jenkins/jobs/[jobname]/builds/[buildnumber] but mine keeps getting stored 
at Jenkins/jobs/[jobname] and gets overwritten every time.

Is this correct?

Thanks,

Anthony

Re: Jenkins Git Plugin showing Unknown user for all recent changes

[Anthony Hunter]

This is definitely a problem with the Git Plugin to use LDAP to lookup user 
information about commits. We need to stop this from occurring. Git Plugin 
should not lookup anything from the global security. Know how to do this? 
Any ideas?

Actually although this worked in the script console it doesn't work in

you get the error

Any pointers as to what's going wrong?

Adding User permissions with groovy

[Anthony Green]

Has anyone managed to script the authorisation levels of a user with Groovy?

I have the beginnings of a script:

import jenkins.model.*
import hudson.security.*

def instance = Jenkins.getInstance()
def hudsonRealm = new HudsonPrivateSecurityRealm(false)

instance.setSecurityRealm(hudsonRealm)

hudsonRealm.createAccount("admin_username", "admin_password")
hudsonRealm.createAccount("developer_username", "developer_password")

def adminStrategy = new GlobalMatrixAuthorizationStrategy()
adminStrategy.add(Jenkins.ADMINISTER, "admin_username")

instance.setAuthorizationStrategy(adminStrategy)

instance.save()


but I can't figure out how to add READ permissions for the user 'developer'

Jenkins Git Plugin showing Unknown user for all recent changes

[Anthony Hunter]

Hi Team,

I have a Jenkins server version 1.623 running under WebSphere Liberty 
Profile. We are using LDAP for authentication and all authenticated users 
from LDAP are in a AimUsers group. You need to log into Jenkins with your 
LDAP account and Configure Global Security uses LDAP with Matrix-based 
security authorization.

We are running Jenkins jobs against several GIT repositories, none of which 
are connected to this LDAP authentication. Some are open source projects, 
etc.

When we look at the recent changes view in jobs building from the GIT 
repositories, all the changes show as:

#51 (17-Aug-2015 15:38:18)

— unknown / detail

The unknown user link shows as:

Jenkins User Id: unknown
Groups:

   - AimUsers
   - ROLE_AIMUSERS

Which seems to indicate the users are being looked up in LDAP and are 
showing as unknown.

If I go to the asyncPeople view, I can see that all the users from the GIT 
repositories were correctly brought down, I can see the Userid and name 
from GIT.

Is there some way to fix this issue? I do not want the Git Plugin to use 
anything from LDAP.

Cheers...
Anthony

Invoking top-level Maven targets on a slave

[Anthony Green]

I''m running a Jenkins Ubuntu Master with an OS X Slave

I can't get a build step "Invoking top-level Maven targets" to run on a 
slave.

I get a 

FATAL: command execution failed

java.io.IOException 
: Cannot run 
program "mvn"

I've tried setting environment variables and that works for a shell script 
build step but not a Maven build step.
I've tried setting Tool Locations on the slave to point at the slave's Maven 
installation and that doesn't work.

How is this supposed to be accomplished?

Except perhaps your containerising it with Docker and then you have to port

Are you sure? What I've read regarding setting up Jenkins in a Docker

I've experimented with a POST request 

curl -X POST -d 
'.useSecurity=on&slaveAgentPort.type=fixed&value=2230&core%3Aapply=true&json=%7B%22useSecurity%22%3A+%7B%22slaveAgentPort%22%3A+%7B%22type%22%3A+%22fixed%22%2C+%22value%22%3A+%30%22%7D%7D%2C+%22core%3Aapply%22%3A+%22true%22%7D'
 
--header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' 
http://localhost:8080//configureSecurity/configure 

This does set the port to a fixed number

Don't know if there's a better way

Re: is there plugin for following scenario

[طلال Anthony رابعة]

How about using a file parameter 
 and the 
conditional build step 
 to 
determine if a file was provided? If it wasn’t, you can fall back to using a 
default file.

Re: Copy files from multiple downstream jobs

[anthony]

I researched this years ago and couldn't find a viable solution. Rather 
than pulling artifacts from downstream jobs I opted to push them by 
specifying a parameter with the output directory path. In my case, the 
jobs are all building with Ant. The parent job would build, then call on 
the other jobs with the parameter $OUTPUT_DIR=$WORKSPACE/some_directory. 
The child jobs would run, passing the parameter to Ant. These in turn 
would save their artifacts in the parent job. Once all child jobs were 
complete the parent would continue final processing then artifact 
everything in $WORKSPACE/some_directory.


The downside to this is all child jobs must run on the same node. Hope 
this helps!

We are doing it inorder to achieve parallelization of a long task.

I could not find a way to copy files back, as the copy artifacts

the copy behavior I am trying to achieve is similar to the way
"parallel test executor" plugin copy the specified files back to the

Is there a way to do it ? did I miss something in the copy artifacts

Automating Jenkins with Rerun

[Anthony Shortland]

If you're anything like us you spend a lot of time installing and 
blowing-away Jenkins as well as setting up and maintaining sets of jobs.

It's a bit tedious to do this manually, of course, so we've put together a 
shell script-based module with the view of automating the whole process.

There's some way to go to make it really comprehensive, but its useful 
enough now that I feel ready to ask people on this list to take a look and 
give me feedback on how it might be improved.

You can fork rerun-modules 
<https://github.com/rerun-modules>/jenkins<https://github.com/rerun-modules/jenkins>
 on 
GitHub if you're interested in experimenting with the source code, or just 
follow 
README.md<https://github.com/rerun-modules/jenkins/blob/master/README.md> if 
you just want to install it and take it for a spin.

A word to the wise: the jenkins:remove command *really* *does* blow-away 
Jenkins as easily and automatically as jenkins:deploy sets it up ... so be 
careful out there!

Anthony Shortland.

Ubuntu's Java and Oracle's Java

[طلال Anthony رابعة]

Hello!

My Jenkins installation is running on a dated Ubuntu server. The version of 
Java installed via apt is 1.6.0_10.  This version runs Jenkins.

The Jenkins installation has Oracle's JDK 1.6.0_34 setup in its configuration. 
Our job configuration uses this JDK for its JAVA_HOME.  I noticed another 
environment variable, PATH+JDK pointing to $JAVA_HOME/bin.

Here's the kicker. 1.6.0_10 suffers from a bug with generics. It was fixed 
before _34 was released, yet this Jenkins job is failing as a result of it.

I had expected $JAVA_HOME/bin/javac would be the compiler used by Ant for the 
job, however it appears that I'm incorrect. Instead, it looks like 
/usr/bin/java is being called instead.

How can I get Jenkins to use $JAVA_HOME/bin/javac, from within Jenkins?

Re: Help with artifacts archiving

[طلال Anthony-Peter-Thomas رابعة]

Hello,

I have a similar process.  Promotions can't archive the artifacts so what I did 
instead was create a second project…

* First project runs.  If successful, it creates an artifact of the 
distribution.
* If promoted, it calls on the second project to perform the task.
* Second project uses the copy plugin to copy the artifact into its workspace 
and perform actions.
* Both first and second project get marked as keep forever.

It means the first project will be bloated with artifacts.  Jenkins is running 
on a server with a 300 Gig HD to account for this (each distribution is one 
gig).

Promote Plugin Configuration

[طلال Anthony رابعة]

Hello!

I noticed that when I copy jobs, the configuration for the Promote Plugin 
doesn't get copied with it.  Nothing revealed itself with regard to the Promote 
Plugin in the config.xml file for the job either.  Where can I find the promote 
config associated with a job I'm looking to copy?

Cheers!

Setting Build ID with Promote

[طلال Anthony رابعة]

Hello!

I have the set build name and promote plugins installed.  However, it seems I 
don't have the action option to set the build name in promote.  Can anybody 
recommend other strategies I could use to set it?  I'd like it to only be set 
when a promote has occurred.

Cheers!

Build Name Setter Plugin

[طلال Anthony رابعة]

Hello!

Could I set the value of a build name to a parameter passed in?  I'm using the 
parameterized trigger plugin to call other jobs and it'd be nice to simply use 
one of those parameters directly.

Re: Using CopyArtifacts Plugin for Parameterized Projects

[طلال Anthony رابعة]

I was trying to do a similar thing but the copy artifact plugin wasn't working 
for me.  Instead I pass in the URL of the artifacts for the job I'm promoting 
and use curl to retrieve it.  Works like a charm. :-)

Exception when executing the batch command : null

[Anthony Newnam]

I am getting the error:

*02:47:06*  Exception when executing the batch command : null

Sometimes when trying to run a post build task. Have others seen this? It seems 
there is an exception without a message in it 
(https://svn.jenkins-ci.org/trunk/hudson/plugins/postbuild-task/src/main/java/hudson/plugins/postbuildtask/PostbuildTask.java).

Here is my post build task:
if exist .git\lock (
  del .git\lock
)

I have to do this because https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-12513 
isn't complete yet.

Would this be something inside the jUnit display code (which I think is

more graphs from junit tests?

[Anthony Newnam]

Is there a way for me to get a graph with time as the x axis instead of 
build number and see a graph of how long the tests took/how long an 
individual test took over time?

It seems like the only way the graphs could be useful if they're over a 
very long period to indicate how your software is progressing over 
weeks/months/years instead of just a few recent build numbers. Knowing the 
time also helps indicate the performance of the tests. How are other people 
using the jUnit tests/results?

save build meta-data/logs longer than archives

[Anthony Newnam]

Is there any way (plugin/option) that I can use to save the meta-data and 
logs of a build job without saving the artifacts? Each of the builds stores 
almost 1GB of artifacts for 10 days, and I don't have enough space to store 
hundreds of days worth, but I would like to keep the logs around. I would 
also like to keep the warning count around, so the warning plugin can give 
me a trend over a longer period.

Thanks

long output = slow build times

[Anthony Newnam]

I believe that with some of my compile jobs that have large output (~50MB) 
of data, it causes them to be much slower. I haven't measured this exactly 
to find the cause, but it seems like there is a strong correlation.

Have other seen this behavior or are there any optimizations available for 
it? Does Jenkins send the logs compressed between the nodes?

I'm using Jenkins 1.441.

Thanks

Re: Is it possible to parameterize a Subversion "Repository URL" location in a Jenkins build job configuration?

[طلال Anthony رابعة]

Hello,

I'm doing something similar to that.  I have a parent project that polls SVN.  
When it detects a change, it performs it job then uses the parameterized 
trigger plugin to call on over 20 other jobs.  I pass $SVN_URL_PREFIX as a 
parameter and use a shell to do checkouts.  The parameter is defaulted to trunk 
in each child job.

Re: Plugins are not updating

[طلال Anthony رابعة]

Good morning!

Doesn't seem to be fixed.  I tried updating the CVS Plugin from 1.6 to 2.2 and 
the Translation Assistance Plugin from 1.8 to 1.9.  Both registered as upgraded 
but it wasn't reflected on restart.

Cheers!

Re: SSH plugin "Can't connect to server" problem

Brian,

I found the solution. Thanks.

The solution is to add (uncomment) the line "PasswordAuthentication yes" in
/etc/ssh/sshd_config file of the ESXi server.

Thanks,

SSH plugin "Can't connect to server" problem

[Anthony Ho]

I am not able to configure the SSH plugin to connect to an ESXi 5.0
server (as well as some other hosts) as root user with the error
message “Can’t connect to server”.

There are some hosts that I am able to connect to without any
problems.

Is there something I need to configure in the ESXi server or in the
hosts which I cannot connect to?

I have no problems running ssh as root user to any of these hosts from
the system hosting Jenkins and running as user “jenkins”.

Thank you for your help.
