I have a problem. I need to build a job in my Jenkins server hosted by macmini (localhost) to automatic build a deploy for my mobile hybrid apps. That's apps was building with ionic2, and need a deploy for Android (apk) and for iOS (ipa).
But when i run a build from Jenkins, with this shell command
I get this error
that's not all... because i try to execute, from the jenkins folder, the npm i and the result was this:
When i try to build my application from other "folder" and not from jenkins, they works correctly. How i can solve?
Without more information hard to say; you can either just script the things you do when you deploy "manually", or you might want to try a CLI tool like https://www.bitrise.io/cli or https://fastlane.tools which can auto-scan your project and configure a suitable configuration which is then easier to tweak.
In case of Bitrise CLI the base config can be generated with bitrise init in the repo root, and you can also use a visual editor to modify your configuration: https://discuss.bitrise.io/t/how-to-experiment-with-bitrise-configs-locally-on-your-mac-linux/1751
After a lot of time, just find the solution. Jenkins have a own "tools management". So i need to install, into jenkins, a property version of nodeJS, Npm and all other tools i need to deploy the application.
So, first of all you need to install property plugin (in my case nodejs).
After this, going into Jenkins Management System and configure a NodeJS version. That's all

Absolute beginner in DevOps here. I have a Gitlab repo that I would like to build and run its tests in the Gitlab pipeline CI.
So far, I'm only testing locally on my machine with a specific runner. There's a lot information out there and I'm starting to get lost with what to use and how to use it.
How would I go about creating a container with the tools that I need ? (VS compiler, cmake, git, etc...)
My application contains an SDK that only works on windows, so I'm not sure building on another platform would work at all, so how do I select a windows based container?
How would I use that container in the yml file in gitlab so that I can build my solution and run my tests?
Any specific documentation links or suggestions are welcomed and appreciated.

you can install those tools before the pipeline script runs. I usually do this in before_script.
If there's large-ish packages that need to be installed on every pipeline run, I'd recommend that you make yourown image, with all the required build dependencies, push it to GitLab and then just use it as your job image.

If you're using gitlab.com - Windows runners are currently in beta, but available for use.
SaaS runners on Windows are in beta and shouldn’t be used for production workloads.
During this beta period, the shared runner quota for CI/CD minutes applies for groups and projects in the same manner as Linux runners. This may change when the beta period ends, as discussed in this related issue.
If you're self-hosting - setup your own runner on Windows.
How would I use that container in the yml file in gitlab so that I can build my solution and run my tests?
This really depends on:
previous parts (you're using GL.com / self hosted)
how your application is built
what infrastructure you have access to
What I'm trying to say is that I feel like I can't give you a good answer without quite some more information
Has anyone used Jenkins in Xcode for code management and automated deployment ? If yes, how can it be integrated ? How does automated deployment work with Jenkins ? Went through the documentation but didn't get much idea.
I went through the Jenkins plugins for iOS but not clear if we can publish the build to AppStore using any plugin.
We are using a Jenkins Server for Continuos Integration, by fetching the source from an SVN Server when the Jenkins is triggered by Commits to this repositories.
But, to be serious, i wouldn't recommend the jenkins... i'd rather use xcode server/bots to get rid of all the hassle with the jenkins...
fastlane is a tool for iOS and Android developers to automate tedious tasks like generating screenshots, dealing with provisioning profiles and releasing your application.

xctool is a replacement for Apple's xcodebuild that makes it easier to test iOS and Mac products. It's especially helpful for continuous integration.

The term "Jenkins in Xcode for code management" seems not fully correct. Because Jenkins server is for CI, in which we config it (create a job) that will fetch the source code from your repository (SVN, GIT), then compile it and run, probably execute your unit tests, UI automation tests or code coverage tool.
Based on your schedule, Jenkins server will automatically start its job or is triggered whenever there is a change in your repo (anybody commits the code for example).
The tool you mentioned which in Xcode is probably XCode Bots, the built-in CI tool.
In order to set up, firstly, you have to install and config XCode server. After that, connecting your server with your repositories. Secondly, creates a bot with your customize configuration and run it.
In my opinion in term of Jenkins and Xcode comparison, I would say that it depends on what tools or add-in functions that you want to set up for your CI server. Jenkins has many plugins might helpful like check style, measure code coverage while Xcode bot still having some limitation.
This document https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/IDEs/Conceptual/xcode_guide-continuous_integration/ for your further reference.
I hope this would be helpful to you.
There is a gem called xcpretty, you can use it to output JUnit format test result, then use Jenkins JUnit Plugin to show the result.
Install xcpretty
gem install xcpretty
Use xcpretty to create junit format xml file
xcodebuild test ... | xcpretty --report junit --output [path_to_save]/unit_test_result.xml
Then this unit_test_result.xml can be used to report by Jenkins JUnit Plugin
I need to run my web application in different browsers/platforms via the Jenkins plugin Sauce OnDemand. It is really ridiculous that the official guide of the Sauce Ondemand talks about everything but the most basic thing - how to load test cases/suites. Anyone has idea how to do it?
Just figured it out. Need to install the Selenium Builder plug in to Jenkins.
Steps:
Add the Selenium Builder plugin to Jenkins.
Upload test script (html or json) to git repo.
In Build, select Invoke Selenium Builder Script.
Put script file name there(suppose the script is directly under the workspace folder).
Build with the URL of the git repo.
Done.
This solution can only run the script against one browser, not multiple browsers. Trying to figure out how to run multiple.
Update
Figured out how to do test on multiple browsers:
Need to install Matrix Project plugin in the Jenkins, create a new job of Multi-configuration Project, select target browsers in Configuration Matrix and Sauce OnDemand Support as well.
I'm using Unity3D, Jenkins and Bitbucket private repository. Jenkins is installed in cloud service. I want to automate buildings and probably run some tests in Jenkins before pushing to repository.
I have configured Jenkins properly to such step that it works when pushing some changes to repository, but this configuration doesn't contain configuration of Unity3D Build Plugin. In order to get Unity3D Build Plugin working properly you must configure it by providing the directory of your Unity3D Editor. Problem here is that Jenkins is installed in cloud service and Unity3D Editor on my computer. If you want to configure Unity3D Build Plugin you must provide it's .exe file location. So my question is that is it possible to tell Jenkins that is installed in cloud service that Unity3D installation directory is located at my computer? If yes how it is done?
right now it's a limitation on the plugin. I hope to fix this. Open a bug in the issue tracker (https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS) and let's move the conversation there!
My Question: How can I run a deployment script from the TFS 2010 build template on a remote system that has only a MSTest agent running?
I know this can be done by activating the Deployment section in the test settings configuration file, but this is not flexible enough. At night a build runs. When the build is successful, a deployment script is placed at a drop location. The drop location is date, project and build definition specific. These parameters are available in the TFS build template we use.
I do not have Lab Management available, just a physical server. I would rather not spoil the physical server with an additional build agent to only do the deployment. The MSTest agent is apparently capable of running deployment scripts, but how do I use that functionality from the TFS build workflow. For example, can I use the RunDeploymentScript activity without having Lab Management?
PSExec is a great tool for running scripts on remote computers. I use this in Team Deploy that allows you to install MSIs on remote computers from Team Build. You can also run PowerShell on remote computers but it is a little more complicated to set up. Another option is to use MSDeploy. There is a command option that you can run any command on a remote computer. I usually use an InvokeProcess activity to call a PowerShell script on the build server. From the PowerShell script I have called MSDeploy to run a remote PowerShell script on a target server. It sounds bad but worked good.
You can't run the RunDeploymentScript on the target machine. You can use a modified template to deploy to a physical environemnt. Here is a good post on doing this.. The options I mentioned above do not need any agent on it. You can use the ExecuteRemoteTestRun lab management activity without Lab Management to run the MTM Tests with the Test Agent with a Test Controller that is registered to the project collection (Test Manager).
Let me know if you have any questions on any of these options.
