CI is, at its core, running a series of commands on each commit, then performing actions/displaying reports based on their results. I'd think that any CI server could handle Fossil. The various VCS plugins/support just do the integration a bit more smoothly, or displays the output formatted more nicely.

I just treat the fossil binary as another shell command. Jenkins' URL trigger polls the commit timeline on each of my repositories, then triggers a build when the page's contents change (I.e. when a new commit is made.) I'd eventually like to use the TCL support to hit the Jenkins post-commit URL, since I'm not immediately certain that my solution will work for locked-down repositories.

Nolan,

I have no experience with Jenkins whatsoever, but can figure the basics out. Since you say that you have already done it, it's worth a try.

What I really wanted was confirmation that it's not a dead end road that I'm taking. So thanks for your confirmation.

Apologies if my Q was weird. I'm new to setting up CI+repo.

    Remigiusz,

    Thanks for the info. Even I was thinking of doing post-commit
    eventually.

    Sadly, there is no way I can use fossil if there is no mechanism
    to integrate with some CI tool or the other.

    Someday perhaps I could write a plugin for
    cruisecontrol/Jenkins/Hudson/whatever, but not now with a major
    project coming up.

        The last time I checked, there was no integration provided by
        any of them. But it's usually no problem to provide your own
        script to do the checkout, what makes the matter pretty
        trivial if you want periodical tests. I wanted post-commit,
        but  there was no support for that in Fossil at that time.
        There allegedly is now, through some Tcl hooks, but
        integrating it with CI seems to be still uncharted territory...


        Kind regards,
        Remigiusz Modrzejewski


        PS. Excuse any grammar mistakes, I'm nearly braindead after
        too long meeting.
