Re: Monitoring Metrics (eg. code coverage) Degradation
You may not like this solution, but until someone will post a better solution, you could potentially create a simple shell task and run your coverage metrics from there... With some magic you could check the results and return 0 or 1 (i'm not sure the exact value), which will tell jenkins if it failed or not...

REST API - How reliable is color tag?
Hello, We're linking our database entities to a job in jenkins, it's 1 to 1 relation. So, as a result we'd like to display real time job's status. I found 2 ways, 1. using /job/job1/api/xml (color tag) 2. using /job/job1/lastBuild/api/xml (building, result tags) In both cases it seems possible to find out if a job is building and/or failed. But 1st solution seems simpler compared to 2nd which has bit more code especially if there wasn't any build made yet... So, what do you think? Can I rely on color tag, that can have blue, blue_anime, red, red_anime, grey, grey_anime values? Or it may change and I should use 2nd resource?

Re: Anyone written a config file parser/script generator?
Once you have your config.xml files backed-up you should be able to restore your jobs, through Rest API. For old buils, if they are important you should make other arrangements...

Master/Slave configuration questions
Hello, We have a number of Java projects, Selenium tests and using gradle to build/test everything. So far this works fine for us if it's on one machine, but we're looking to increase the number of projects/jobs and would like to be ready to scale. As a result I'm looking to setup a master + few slaves configuration, but there are some things that I'm not sure about. My thought is that initial setup to be on one machine, with multiple jenkins instances (master + slaves). So here are my questions: 1. Does it make sense to have master and slaves on the same machine at all? 2. If we're using gradle, do I have to install gradle on other machines too? 3. What about actual projects? Do I have to sync them on slave servers? Since right now, gradle plugin asks path to build.gradle file, which we're setting to the absolute path. How does this work?

Re: Master/Slave configuration questions
That's a really insightful reply and I thank you for that. Yes, we're using SCM for our regular projects, but for these jobs we haven't thought about it actually, since the specifics are that we have many, but small jobs which are created/generated automatically... but it makes sense to pull those from a centralized location, like SCM or database if that's the case... I'll have to rethink a bit our approach, based on your comments. Thanks again.

Making a separate slave lets you configure it differently than the master nodes, if needed.

Whether you’re running it via a Jenkins slave node or any other way doesn’t matter. Basically, a slave node is an agent on some machine that can run commands. It isn’t If you can’t do it from the command line, you probably can’t do it from a Jenkins slave either. ** ** As far as projects go, you’re going to have to get your sources onto the machine your slave is on. If I’m reading correctly, you put your Gradle sources (like build.gradle) at an absolute location on the machine your Jenkins server is on. This is probably not going to work. Normal procedure in Jenkins is to start your build by checking out sources from a source-control system, so that each build has its own copy. ** ** If you’re not using a source control system, I strongly suggest you start, especially if you’re scaling up. I’m not going to go over benefits here, but will note that many of them are open source. Many SCM systems have an associated Jenkins plugin. With that, a job can poll for changes and grab the latest sources for you, putting it in the current directory for the slave node. If you aren’t running on a polling basis (my outfit, for instance, does nightly builds), then you just make a build step that grabs the sources from SCM before you try building it. However, you now have to do all your builds from a relative directory rather than an absolute directory; this is usually good, as it means that you can run more than one on the same machine. ** ** In short, I suggest that you figure out how you would run the builds you want on other machines by hand _*without*_ Jenkins in place, and then determine from there how to use Jenkins to automate that process for you.* *** ** ** --Rob ** ** *From:* jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com [mailto: jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com] *On Behalf Of *Octavian Covalschi *Sent:* Thursday, February 07, 2013 11:37 AM *To:* jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com *Subject:* Master/Slave configuration questions ** ** Hello, ** ** We have a number of Java projects, Selenium tests and using gradle to build/test everything. So far this works fine for us if it's on one machine, but we're looking to increase the number of projects/jobs and would like to be ready to scale. ** ** As a result I'm looking to setup a master + few slaves configuration, but there are some things that I'm not sure about. My thought is that initial setup to be on one machine, with multiple jenkins instances (master + slaves). ** ** So here are my questions: ** ** 1. Does it make sense to have master and slaves on the same machine at all? 2. If we're using gradle, do I have to install gradle on other machines too? 3. What about actual projects? Do I have to sync them on slave servers? Since right now, gradle plugin asks path to build.gradle file, which we're setting to the absolute path. How does this work? ** ** Thank you in advance. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Jenkins Users group.
