How to make git commit to trigger run a Jenkins job

Posted on Friday Feb 21, 2014 at 06:02PM in Technology

Environment

  • Jenkins 1.551
  • git version 1.8.3.4 (Apple Git-47)
  • OS X 10.9.1

Try using curl

  • In this setup, there is no authentication at Jenkins.
curl -X POST http://localhost:18080/job/BuildAndTestHead/build
  • Let's try with dump-header option.
kyle-no-MacBook:Jenkins kyle$ curl -D - -X POST http://localhost:18080/job/BuildAndTestHead/build
HTTP/1.1 201 Created
Location: http://localhost:18080/queue/item/4/
Content-Length: 0
Server: Jetty(8.y.z-SNAPSHOT)

kyle-no-MacBook:Jenkins kyle$

Configure a hook of repository

  • Create a file named “post-commit” in .git/hooks directory.
kyle-no-MacBook:hooks kyle$ pwd
/Users/kyle/gits1/hellojenkins/.git/hooks
kyle-no-MacBook:hooks kyle$ ls -l
total 8
-rwxr-xr-x+ 1 kyle  staff  73  2 23 10:50 post-commit
kyle-no-MacBook:hooks kyle$ cat post-commit 
#!/bin/sh
curl -X POST http://localhost:18080/job/BuildAndTestHead/build
kyle-no-MacBook:hooks kyle$
  • Now it runs automatically when we commit using git command from cli.

Remarks

  • According to [3], It doesn't work when we commit with Eclipse.
  • So, we might have to config Jenkins to poll the repository periodically.

How to install, git clone, build and test

Posted on Thursday Feb 20, 2014 at 06:01PM in Technology

Just try to make Jenkins work, and do some typical works (git clone, build, test) with Git and Maven.

Environment

  • Jenkins 1.551
  • Apache Maven 3.1.1
  • git version 1.8.3.4 (Apple Git-47)
  • Oracle JDK7u51
  • OS X 10.9.1

Download and Install

  • OS X Native package is available at [1].
  • The package is a pkg file.
  • Install is easy. we can just open the package and follow instructions.
  • When installation finishes, Jenkins will run automatically at port 8080 and browser will open and going to show localhost:8080, so we have to stop any application servers ran at port 8080 before we start installation.
    • If you missed that point, Jenkins will run automatically after you have stop the application server.
  • Followed this instruction, Jenkins will be installed as a service of OS X so it will be launched every time at system boot.

Configuration of platform specific matters

Change ports of Jenkins

  • I have been used port 8080 for application server, so I don't want to give it to Jenkins.
  • According to [3], this will make Jenkins to use other ports on OS X.
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/org.jenkins-ci httpPort 18080
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/org.jenkins-ci ajp13Port 18009

Avoid garbled characters for Multi-byte environment

  • This is for Japanese OS X environment
  • Add this line to “/Library/Application Support/Jenkins/jenkins-runner.sh”
export LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8

Use English as UI Language

  • As default, Jenkins use browser's language for UI.
  • Locale Plugin[7] allows to specify language.
  • I prefer English at Jenkins so I have installed it.
  • After plugin installed, go to Configure System
    • Enter “ENGLISH” to Default Language
    • Check “Ignore browser preference and force this language to all users”
    • Click “Save” in the bottom of the page

Restart Jenkins

  • To affect these changes, we have to restart Jenkins.
sudo launchctl stop org.jenkins-ci
sudo launchctl start org.jenkins-ci
  • Now we got to run Jenkins at 18080 port.

Configuration

Make sure that “git” and “mvn” command are installed

kyle-no-MacBook:~ kyle$ which git
/usr/bin/git
kyle-no-MacBook:~ kyle$ git --version
git version 1.8.3.4 (Apple Git-47)
kyle-no-MacBook:~ kyle$ which mvn
/Users/kyle/apps/apache-maven-3.1.1/bin/mvn
kyle-no-MacBook:~ kyle$ mvn --version

kyle-no-MacBook:~ kyle$

Install the Git Plugin of Jenkins

  1. Open the Jenkins page.
  2. Click “Jenkinsの管理” (in Japanese messages)
  3. Click “プラグインの管理”
  4. Click “利用可能”
  5. Enter “git plugin” to filter field.
  6. Check “Git Plugin”
  7. Click “ダウンロードして再起動後にインストール”
  8. Installation progress page will be shown.
    • It seems to a static page at first, but it updates on the progress for dynamically so just wait for a while.
    • It takes several minutes for complete.
  9. Confirm all processes are completed
  10. Restart the Jenkins.

Set JAVA_HOME

  • Output of this command would be help for OS X users.
kyle-no-MacBook:~ kyle$ /usr/libexec/java_home -V
Matching Java Virtual Machines (3):
    1.7.0_51, x86_64:   "Java SE 7" /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_51.jdk/Contents/Home
    1.6.0_65-b14-462, x86_64:   "Java SE 6" /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home
    1.6.0_65-b14-462, i386: "Java SE 6" /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home

/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_51.jdk/Contents/Home
kyle-no-MacBook:~ kyle$
  1. Click “Jenkinsの管理”
  2. Click “システムの設定”
  3. Find JDK section.
  4. Click “JDK追加”
  5. Uncheck “自動インストール”
  6. Enter “名前”
  7. Enter “JAVA_HOME”
  8. Click “保存” at the bottom of the page.

Set Path to Maven executable

  1. Click “Jenkinsの管理”
  2. Click “システムの設定”
  3. Find Maven section.
  4. Click “Maven追加”
  5. Uncheck “自動インストール”
  6. Enter MAVEN_HOME
  7. Click “保存” at the bottom of the page.

Make a job

  • At first, we assume that a example maven project is committed to a local repository. it is better if the project contains some JUnit test classes. I have created a project which contains a servlet, a CDI managed bean and a test class for it.
  • This job will do:
    • Retrieve the source tree of a maven project from the Git repository in local filesystem
    • Build a WAR file
    • Run JUnit test

Procedures:

  1. Click “新規ジョブ作成”
  2. Enter “MyJob001” to “ジョブ名”
  3. Check “Maven2/3プロジェクトのビルド”
  4. Click “OK”
  5. Find “ソースコード管理” section.
  6. Check “Git”
  7. Enter “Repository URL”
  8. Find “ビルド” Section
  9. Enter “ルートPOM'
  10. Enter “ゴールとオプション”
  11. Find “ビルド後の処理” Section
  12. Click “ビルド後の処理の追加”
  13. Click “成果物を保存”
  14. Enter “保存するファイル”
  15. Click “保存”
  16. Now I got a job “MyJob001”

Build

  1. Open the job “MyJob001”
  2. Click “ビルド実行”
  3. Wait for a while.
    • It takes really long time for the first time because there are many new dependencies. maybe we should check the console output of Jenkins.
  4. Some minutes later, we got to see fine mark in the dashboard.
  5. Detail page is interesting, we can see that all tests are passed and deliverables at once.
  6. Check the WAR file which have built by Jenkins.

Remarks

  • I would also try that other operations such as automated execution or deploy later.
