Question #248704 on Sikuli changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/sikuli/+question/248704 tombrus posted a new comment: We are very happy with the following simple cloud setup: - AWS linux machine - jenkins - jenkins has xvfb plugin installed - jenkins runs sikuli from java API wrapped in junit tests under maven - sikuli tests are recorded to mpg file with avconv This results in regular junit reports with a video of each test. Very useful and works like a charm. If you are bound to the windows platform you have a challenge to make a windows jenkins slave and keeping it happy with a virtual monitor. I have done this before in another project. I got it to work but it was much more tedious and sensitive then the above linux setup. Tech detail: I had to keep an rdp session alive from the master jenkins machine to the windows slave machine, just to keep the virtual monitor alive in the slave. This, by the way, made it also possible to record the test to a video ;-) Tom -- You received this question notification because you are a member of Sikuli Drivers, which is an answer contact for Sikuli. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~sikuli-driver Post to : sikuli-driver@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~sikuli-driver More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

With another contact I had lately, I already got the impression, that I should invest something into a Jenkins environment, to support the testing and building of SikuliX. I plan to start with Mac 10.8 (master on MacMini, slave on headless MacMini accessed via ssh). Any tips or advices, that might help me to get on the road?

Question #248704 on Sikuli changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/sikuli/+question/248704 tombrus posted a new comment: @RaiMan: The main challenge will be to get a (virtual) mac screen up on the headless slave. For the rest my approach above would do the trick I guess. The xvfb would probably work (Mac is linux after all) but it will not give you a genuine Mac desktop but an X11 desktop. I do not know how a MacMini behaves when no monitor is connected, there is a display card so there might be a screen from the software point of view In addition to my previous post: a step I did not mention is to start a window manager on the xvfb screen, I use fluxbox. I start it for every test and kill it when the test is done. This should ideally be a feature of the xvfb plugin, I guess. This again is not relevant for your MacMini setup. Just googled a bit, you could use a dummy HDMI plug (http://www.fit- pc.com/web/products/accessories/fit-headless/) to force a certain solution. The description of this device suggests that without anything in the HDMI port the MacMini will switch to some basic resolution: Works well to force 'headless' Mac mini into higher resolution. If that is indeed the case you might have an easy job! Keep us informed! PS I wish I could run virtual Macs in AWS. ;-) -- You received this question notification because you are a member of Sikuli Drivers, which is an answer contact for Sikuli. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~sikuli-driver Post to : sikuli-driver@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~sikuli-driver More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
