Re: [wtr-general] Re: Watir 1.8.7 how to use cruisecontrol for an unattended job
One more question if that's ok. If i setup another separate Hudson master instance on my server where i want my ruby scripts to run, should that work as well? I tried this as I've read online that having a master hudson linux instance and a slave Windows instance could be quite problematic. I've tried with the master Hudson on Windows where i want my ruby scripts to run and it does execute my ruby (watir) scripts but behaves as if if can't open an IE window interactively. Thanks!

The label you give it is how you'll identify the jobs it can service. Login to that node (eg remote desktop) and bring up the Hudson site in the browser on that machine. Find the node you created and hit the Launch button - that starts up the slave on that node and you should see a little dialog that you can minimize (you may need to install a JRE on the machine). Now create a job for the script you want to run and set the 'Restrict where the job can be run' and add that label you defined for the node. Set up the source control so it can check out your latest test code and then configure how you're going to build it. You can use a windows command and call the script directly. I'd start with just getting what you have working (you don't need to use rake and you can always do that later). You can manually start the build to make sure it works for you and once you have things running you can edit the job and trigger it to run nightly, on source control triggers, etc. You might need to get user permissions to do some of this, depending on how your Hudson site is set up. Also there are quite a few plugins and you may have to install some, depending on what Hudson currently has configured. There are ones that will support different source control systems (git, svn, cvs), rake, etc. Hugh -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.

Re: [wtr-general] Re: Watir 1.8.7 how to use cruisecontrol for an unattended job
Hi Hugh, Thanks for the reply. I do require a headless setup and i just discovered about Celerity today which is basically a headless Watir so i think I'll use this if I can. I already tried one script and it ran fine on my linux box. One script which is more complicated gave me an error but I'm hopeful that this will be the solution I was looking for. Thanks!

I was not able to get the slave running headless, however, because the script on the windows slave would not run with the correct permissions. We login as the user we want it to run as and launch the process from the hudson site that creates a small popup window once it's connected. Are you doing the same?

Re: [wtr-general] Re: Watir 1.8.7 how to use cruisecontrol for an unattended job
Hi Hugh, Any chance you could give me a quick overhead of how that would work with Hudson. We use Hudson here so it would be less of a learning curve but we don't run any Junit tests or anything like that yet so I've got no experience there. Also would i need to use rake as well?

It's easy to install, use, has great output. Scaling and adding additional slaves to run tests is a snap. It's got support for most of the major version control systems and you can use it to run scripts directly or trigger rake tasks. (It's a build tool too :) Thanks!
