Hello,
Our Jenkins environment has multiple executors that are running Robot
Framework tests for build verification (and other automation). The
executors make use of our external API and Selenium library for testing
against our product remotely. We have a pool of devices (both VM and
physical appliances) that are used for our automation testbeds. We
currently have a home brew solution for device reservation. At the start
of a Jenkins job, an available device will be reserved and the job will
execute against it. We have a need where multiple concurrent jobs will
execute against a single device. For example:
Job 1 - New Install & Setup Test
Job 2 - Basic BVT against new install and setup from Job 1
Job 3 - Advanced BVT against new install and setup from Job 1
If the device is freed between jobs, there is a chance that the queue
manager will pick it up if other jobs are waiting in the queue.
I'm wondering if there is a plugin or some other solution for this
scenario. We can update our script to trigger job 2 and job 3 remotely
(job 1 remains running until the subsequent jobs have completed though),
which we have done, but I thought I would see if anyone else has a similar
scenario and what solution you've used if so. A friend suggested selenium
grid, which I've started to look into.
Thanks,
Shawn
