[jug-discussion] Hudson?

2009-05-20 Thread Andrew Lenards
Is anyone using Hudson (it's an extensible continuous integration engine)?
Has anyone played with it?

I just noticed that Apache is using it.

I've heard people like it, but I personally prefer something more
lightweight and easily hackable, and in my preferred language - so I
use CruiseControl.rb.

However, Hudson is mature, open source and has a lot of plugin
support, so it is probably a good choice, especially for a java shop.

I'll also use this opportunity to prompte my project which lets you
easily set up a new CI box (using ccrb, of course) by running only two
simple scripts:

I even made a screencast :)

No, but I plan on setting it up soon on my server to play with it and
do some CI locally.

It is awesome! I had to install it on Windows because we have some unit
tests using a .NET component. A quick click installed it as a Windows
Service and I was up and running in no time.

Just to be clear, you mean CruiseControl JAVA, not CruiseControl.rb
(in ruby), correct?

If so, I agree with you, CC java sucks big ones...

Sorry, didn't even know there was a cruise control .rb  
-T 
Didn't parse that out of your earlier note.

Some things we like about hudson:
Start hudson java -jar hudson.war

Contact me off list if you want a linux service start/stop script for hudson.

We are using maven and grails to build our apps, but some are pure Java 
libraries and it has been so easy to use that even the junior developers are 
getting the feel for it.  Was simple to hook up to SVN and to setup polling 
mechanisms for build on change every 5 minutes etc...
We haven't gotten to the point where we need to distibute builds across a farm 
of build servers but that also seems amazing straight forward to setup.

Easy to set up the server is nice, but what I'd really like to hear is 
how easy it is to set up a project or manage builds.


A couple years ago I switched from anthill to continuum and 
adding/managing projects got a lot easier.  I'm still on version 1.1, 
but my only hangups with continuum are

- killing a build doesn't always kill the forked child process
- occasionally a project will get in a bad state where all its builds 
error out until I restart the service

- Too many steps to click through to see how far along a running build is

If anyone out there has used both continuum and hudson, I'd love to hear 
why you like one or the other.  I've been meaning to upgrade continuum 
for a while now, but a really good recommendation might convince me to 
go another route.

We are using Hudson and loving it.  Easy to setup and get running.
The automated upgrades have worked everytime.
The plugins updates have worked.

On a parallel note, issue tracking, we are miserable with Trac and 
dreaming of JIRA.   But still don't miss bugzilla.
