I have an existing cypress docker image. I want to integrate it in existing docker file where PR build have to pass cypress test. give me any idea how I will I do it.
You can create a github workflow and cypress itself provide its github action, you can write a job for it and provide when it wants to run the workflow job (on push/Prlabel) . Cypress tests then run on the PR and will create a job summary on the summary page. (See to the link and it provides examples how to use )

I am using cypress version 8.5.0 to create my UI automation scripts. Automation repository is placed in Gitlab. These scripts are triggered through Jenkins pipeline wherein we have created a Jenkinsfile containing docker image
image: cypress/included:8.5.0
and running tests in Linux container. All infra like Jenkins etc. are hosted in cloud. At this moment scripts are successfully running sequentially in Electron using following command in Jenkinsfile
sh 'npx cypress run'
I have two queries -
(a) We wanted to specify folder path for execution and browser as well with following command but it is failing
sh 'npx cypress run --spec "folder path" --browser=chrome'
(b) We wanted to reduce our execution time by parallel execution. cypress dashboard is not an option for us due to budget constraints.
I saw some folks mentioned about sorry-cypress as an alternative and I explored on that. But I am not able to figure out changes required in Jenkinsfile to make this work.
Thanks in advance for sharing your valuable suggestions/work.
I have multiple build and deploy pipelines for my application (User Interface, Internal APIs, External APIs, etc...). I have another build pipeline for my automated tests (which use Node JS, Nightwatch-API, Cucumber, etc..) that builds a Docker image and pushes it to the Container registry.
I want to be able to pull the testing image into my deployment pipelines and execute the appropriate test script command (i.e. npm run test:InternalAPIs). My test scripts will publish the results to a separate system. I am trying to find the best way to execute the automated testing from within the deployment pipeline.
This seems like it should be an easy task within the pipeline build, I just cannot find the task that does what I need. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
I'd probably write a bash script for it, and then run the script with the Bash#3 task.
Alternatively, you could make use of built in tasks, such as Docker#2 and npm#1.
Refer to Microsoft's documenation for more details.
Edit: You can create a temporary instance of the docker image with the docker run command.
Background:
I am a newbie to docker.
I have 2 automation frameworks in my local PC - One for Mobile and other a web application. I have integrated the test frameworks with Jenkins.
Both test frameworks have open Jar dependencies mentioned in Maven pom.xml.
Now i want that when I click on Jenkins Job run to execute tests, my tests should run in a docker container.
Can anyone please give me steps to
Configure Docker in this completer Integrated framework
How to push my dependencies in docker
How to integrate jenkins and Docker
how to run Tests of web and mobile apps in docker on jenkins job click
I'm not a Jenkins professional, but from my experience, there are many possible setups here:
Assumptions:
By "Automation Framework", I understand that there is some java module (built by maven, I believe for gradle it will be pretty much the same) that has some tests that in turn call various APIs that should exist "remotely". It can be HTTP calls, working with selenium servers and so forth.
Currently, your Jenkins job looks like this (it doesn't really matter whether its an "old-school" job "step-by-step" definition or groovy script (pipelines):
Checkout from GIT
run mvn test
publish test results
If so, you need to prepare a docker image that will run your test suite (preferably with maven) to take advantage of surefire reports.
So you'll need to build this docker image once (see docker build command) and make it available in the private repository / docker hub depending on what your organization prefers. Technically for this docker image, you can consider a Java image as a base image, get the maven (download and unzip + configure) then issue the "git pull command". You might want to pass credentials as system variables to the docker process itself (see '-e' flag)
The main point here is that maven inside the docker image will run the build, so it will resolve the dependencies automatically (you might want to configure custom repositories if you have them in settings.xml of maven). This effectively answers the second question.
One subtle point is results that should be somehow shown in Jenkins:
You might want to share the volume with surefire-results folder with the Jenkins "host machine" so that Jenkins's plugins that are supposed to show the results of tests will work. The same idea is applicable if you're using something like allure reports, spock reports and so forth.
Now when the image is ready the integration with Jenkins might be as simple as running a docker run command and wait till it's done. So now the Jenkins job will look like:
docker run pre-defined image -e <credentials for git>
show reports
This is one example of possible integration.
One slightly different option is running docker build as a job definition. This might be beneficial if for each build that image should be significantly different but it will make the build slower.
Following approach can be followed to achieve your goal
Create a docker file with all your setup as well as dependency ( refer)
Install docker plugin on jenkins to integrate the support of docker (refer)
Use Jenkinsfile's approach to pull the docker image or create it by dockerfile and run the test within docker.
below sample code just for reference
node
{
checkout scm
docker.withRegistry('https://registry.example.com', 'credentials-id')
{
def customImage = docker.build("my-image")
docker.image('my-image').inside
{
//Run inside the container
sh 'run test'
}
}
}
I'm developing a web application using python django. I want a CI service which can automatically pull the latest code from my github and run some test then deploy. I'm not familiar with CI, after searching for a while I found Jenkins seems to be a good solution. Can Jenkins be used for this?
Jenkins can be used with any project.
Regarding pulling the latest code, add the Jenkins GitHub plugin in order to be able to check "Build when a change is pushed to GitHub" under "Build Triggers".
That will launch your job on any new pushed commit on the GitHub repo.
From there, a Jenkins job can execute any command that you would do in command-line, provided the agent on which said job will be scheduled and executed has the necessary tools in its PATH (here python)
An alternative (which does not involved Jenkins) is to setup a webhook and a listener on your server which will detect a "push event" sent by said webhook.
I was just wondering if it is possible to run protractor e2e tests in Jenkins with every build. Currently we trigger test cases manually and they are not part of Jenkins but somehow I need them to be run automatically and show the results (failures/pass) as part of the build.
Can anyone share their experience.

Yes this is possible, you set this up under the Build Triggers section of your job. You have the options to build periodically, build remotely, build after another project is built, or build after a push to GitHub/BitBucket.
You can also put your tests in the pipeline, "downstream" from another job, so they are automatically triggered whenever that job completes.
Yes, it is possible to run Protractor tests from a Jenkins job. To do this, you will need a headless browser. Read about Headless browsers here:
You can follow the following instructions and install npm, protractor and chrome headless in the Jenkins box here
