all of the examples of splitTests that I have seen are always using a JUnit or some other XML representation of the tests to determine what to split on.
I have (what I thought) was a very simple use case, but I am finding it difficult to express to jenkins how to do it. I want to run in parallel several different long running commands that have no basis in JUnit, but I want to control the amount of parallel things that are running concurrently for a single build because I only have so many resources that I can consume. Is there any way to do this? For example, I have 20 parallel tests that I want to run, that call a shell script. but those tests are going to boot compute instances on an openstack cloud. my tenant only has enough quota to boot 3 instances at a time. I want to tell jenkins "here's 20 parallel tasks I want you to run, now only run 3 at a time" Can anyone provide a simple example of parallel and splitTests(if necessary) that accomplishes that? Or is this not possible with Jenkins? Thanks! -tim -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
