I opened this in a github issue, but that probably wasn't the correct place
for it. I am trying to use the parallel test executor based on the example
given here:
https://jenkins.io/blog/2016/06/16/parallel-test-executor-plugin/ but I
can't actually figure out how to provide the list of tests to the plugin
itself. I looked at another issue where it looked like someone was using a
pom.xml to include tests, but my project is not strictly a java project and
has no such file. Is there a way to supply an initial list of tests or to
provide tests from anything other than a pom.xml?
More specifically, currently we gather an array of test names to run
dynamically from from a rest endpoint in our pipeline based on the changes
made to the code set. We then collate these tests into test batches with no
real logic or run time analysis, and then use parallel stages and a custom
test executor to run these tests, save the results, and push the results to
Jenkins as JUnit compatible XML with the JUnit Plugin. This allows us to
take advantage of the Jenkins test view to see our test results, run times,
and passes/failures for each build, and feels like it should (hopefully)
provide us with all the results we would need to then use the Parallel Test
Executor to enhance the collating of these test batches. So is there a way
from here to actually just hand the Parallel Test Executor our array of
tests to run, have it work its magic based on previous runtimes for these
tests, and give me back some collated test batches based on previous run
times, or is this plugin the wrong tool for this job?
If this plugin *is* the right tool for this job, so far I have this basic
template function which previously had the brainless collate logic:
def createTestDistribution(tests, batchSize) {
def splits = splitTests parallelism: [$class: 'CountDrivenParallelism', size:
batchSize], generateInclusions: true
println "${splits}"
return splits.findAll{ it.includes }.collect{ it.splits }
}
How can I modify this to feed a list of tests into and get a list of tests
out of the plugin? (Though maybe the out of part is correct already. I'm
not really sure.)
