How to start Owasp zap server(exe or jar) from jenkins - jenkins

Actually, the main issue is if I start the server then my next commond will never trigger as it always running as zap server in listening mode.
Can I run two command line in Jenkins. I have added 2 "Execute Windows batch command" still nothing works. I have added the image in same thread
I have tried by creating a batch file
cd /
cd C:\Program Files\OWASP\Zed Attack Proxy
start java -jar zap-2.6.0.jar
I am getting error as below after using above batch file
Process leaked file descriptors. See https://jenkins.io/redirect/troubleshooting/process-leaked-file-descriptors for more information
https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Spawning+processes+from+build
I have also use command line arugument directly in "Execute window batch command" like:-
java -jar zap-2.6.0.jar
But the UI of zap is not starting
I have also tried "Windows Exe Runner Plugin"
https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Windows+Exe+Runner+Plugin
But jenkins not allowing me to put an exe name in configuration. Looks like a bug of jenkins.
I have also tried by adding zap in environmental variable but that also not working.
Now I am out of idea.
The issue is if I am triggering zap.bat it will do not allow another command to run forward as below which is in my batch:-
Additionally, UI of zap is not open as it is open after direct clicking on zap.bat file
I have added 2 "Execute Windows batch command" still nothing works
Any suggestions will be welcome

Simple - dont start it from the jar!
Start it using the zap.sh or zap.bat scripts we provide as part of the installation :) You'll also probably want to use the -daemon flag.
Or you can use the official ZAP jenkins plugin: https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/zap+plugin

I have resolve this issue by creating two jobs in jenkins.
The main job trigger the first job.
Follow the steps :-
Go to the configure section of main job
Now add "Trigger/call builds on other projects" from Build option
Add the project name of zombie job
Note :- uncheck the checkbox of "Block until the triggered projects finish their builds".

Need to run a command if the jenkins build stuck

In the Jenkins "Abort the build if it's stuck" feature, if a time out happens I want to run a powershell command, instead of aborting or failing the build. Is it possible to accomplish this?
under system configuration-> configure system, found below option:
once enabled this option, "perform build step option" will be available under "time-out action" where we can execute any script or cmd.
Perhaps you could set a "Time-out variable" in the "Abort the build..." menu. Then run a post-build script using the PostBuildScript plugin that checks that env var and takes action accordingly. Haven't tried it.

Execute shell giving error in Jenkins Freestyle job

Whenever I am trying to do execute shell command in freestyle job in Jenkins, however when I try to do same thing while from pipeline, it is running successful.
Following is the error which I am getting in freestyle job:
It seems that the drive is full and there is no space left to execute this shell command. See this log:
So what you should do is to make sure that there is enough space on the drive where you run the script/command is available. Maybe you could switch to another partition or delete temporary or unused files.

Why Jenkins is failing after executing an external windows command line?

I have to create a job in my local Jenkins installation where it executes a SonarQube analysis and then calls a command-line program which searches for duplicated lines of code. However, when I execute the latter command (cpd), it runs okay since it outputs correctly in a external file, but Jenkins still points out it as an error like this:
E:\BASE_DIR>cpd --minimum-tokens 100 --files "E:\BASE_DIR\Project_Folder" --language java 1>>"E:\BASE_DIR\Project_Folder\CPD_CLIG.txt"
Build step 'Execute shell' marked build as failure
Finished: FAILURE
I've tried to create another script which calls that command but I've got the same result.
Any suggestions on how to handle this? Any work-around would be very helpful.
Simple and short answer to your question is
Please add following line into your "Execute shell" Build step.
"#!/bin/sh"
Now let me explain you the reason why we require this line for "Execute Shell" build job.
By default Jenkins take "/bin/sh -xe" and this means -x will print each and every command.And the other option -e, which causes shell to stop running a script immediately when any command exits with non-zero(when any command fails) exit code.
So by adding the "#!/bin/sh" will allow you to execute with no option.
please refer : How/When does Execute Shell mark a build as failure in Jenkins?
I didn't find a proper solution for my issue but I realized that I can use a Jenkins plugin for static code analysis (DRY Plugin and PMD Plugin) to adress my problem.
Thanks you all.

Script to build a set of jobs, wait until they finish and write a report about them

I'm planning to write a script that would choose a set of Jenkins jobs with a regexp, start their builds and wait until they finish. If most of them fail, I want to change some global env vars (I already know how to do this) and build them again. Then I want to collect the test results and format it into a nice report.
I can't put this into the individual jobs' post-build actions, I need info about all of them to write the report and to do the rebuilding.
My current idea is to use the Jenkins REST API, but before I do so: is this already implemented somewhere?
Give a look at Multi-Job plugin and see if it fits your requirement.
Else go with REST API.
Because unique requirement of our build process I had to use jenkins cli :
java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -s http://<jenkinsURL> build <job-name> -s <parameters if any>
The trailing -s makes it wait till the job is complete.

Jenkins logs for a perl build file

Today I started working with jenkins and I successfully added my projects to jenkins and it says all works fine . one of the build takes more than 5 hours but didn't finish either so aborted it(while manual build takes less than 1 hour).. and while i tried to check with the log the log was not detailed. so i tried to get the logs of the perl script by running it as a shell command
usr/local/bin/perl perlscript.pl>logfile.txt
there was no log written and there was no evidence of the build triggered either cases.i'm not aware of what the problem is as both the perlscript(works fine while manually triggered) and jenkins are working properly except this project. I would like to have your help.thanks in advance
A few things you should understand about Jenkins:
Jenkins shows STDOUT as the log of the Job,
so if you redirect it to a file - nothing will be shown in the log.
Depending on how you have set it up, Jenkins may run as its own user,
which may change the behavior of your scripts.
You can confirm this by echo-ing the username at the beginning of your Execute Shell block,
for example:
echo $USER
Each Jenkins-Job is run from its own workspace -
you can confirm that location by simply printing the current working directory
at the beginning of your Execute Shell block, for example:
echo my current directory is
pwd
