I'm trying to deploy an angular project using Jenkins. In the window bash, I used the command npm install and npm run ng -- build to install packages and to build the project. Later when I try to host using http-server it throws an error like 'http-server' is not recognized as an internal or external command, and it clearly shows it is not supporting any Angular-related commands in it. Suggest me anyway to solve this. Thanks in advance
My Docker image build has been failing to build lately and I've managed to trace down
where exactly it struggles.
When the runner is executing RUN npm install react-scripts#2.1.8 -g --silent --no-optional (from Dockerfile)
it fails and gives no error output to work with. Job log shows no clue as to why it failed.
I figured I could SSH into the CI server but GitLab doesn't support direct SSH access into CI server for debugging purposes.
My question is how can I debug this ? What steps I should take ? I don't deal every day with
bug where I get no error output.
What are the conditions in which GitLab runner may fail to install it ?
Note:
I ran it locally and no problem whatsoever hence it must be problem within the CI.
is the build of your image is ok in your computer ? You can also install a gitlab runner in your computer to test your gitlabci file
Try removing the --silent flag from the npm install command. I reckon you'll see a bit more then.
Timeout of the build runner was to blame in this particular case. As soon as I reorganized the code in build script npm library was successfully installed.
I am running Jenkins on Tomcat7 - Windows 7. I have provided the node bin path in my jenkins configuration. Then running a shell script as follows:
echo $PATH
node --version
npm install -g grunt-cli
npm install
grunt cssmin
As suggested in other post Jenkins integration with Grunt, I have restarted my jenkins several times, and tried to work on all the answers written in that post, but still it shows error, grunt: command not found.

I have also followed the steps mentioned on this site grunt-on-jenkins
package.json and Gruntfile.js are in root directory the very first time when I executed the jenkins build, grunt installed all modules from my gruntfile.js, and after that in all other build's its showing the above output.
Can anyone please check what's going on wrong here.
After searching a lot, I found where my grunt is installed. As far as jenkins build is concerned it installs in drive:/.jenkins....../workspace/node_modules/.bin.
After providing this path in jenkins using shell script export path=$PATH:drive:/.jenkins....../workspace/node_modules/.bin, grunt started executing.
Also what I learnt in this process was checking where the executable's are available on system path or which path jenkins refers to is using which "executable_name" without qoutes. you can use this command both on windows as well as linux. Ex: which grunt will show the path where grunt executable file is present.
From the error message it seems, sheel is not able to find grunt. Could you please check if it is present in the $PATH variable. On which node this shell script is running? You cab check the $PATH of the particular node. You can also add grunt installation path to $PATH variable during the shell script.
grunt_path="grunt_installtion_path"
export PATH=${PATH}:${grunt_path}
I am using Ubuntu 12.04. And i want to Jenkins to get automatically start with my system to perform building the tasks. Kindly let me know the steps
The best way to achieve this, in case you want to use Jenkin's built-in web server, is just to install a prepacked version of the software available at official Jenkins Debian/Ubuntu repository. It's as easy as installing any other software on Debian/Ubuntu-like distro. The package will add a startup scripts to your installation which you can control as any other daemon.
If you preffer to use your own installation you can use a startup script that is available on Jenkin's GitHub repository. Quite possibly you will have to modify it to suite your installation, but it's a very good starting point...
Go to your /etc/rc.local file and add the line: /etc/init.d/jenkins start to your file
This will run your jenkins start command on startup.
If jenkins is not starting at boot time install the chkconfig package:
apt-get install chkconfig
And then issue the following command:
chkconfig --add jenkins
Finally, with chkconfig --list you should obtain a list with a line inside stating the runlevels at which jenkins will start:
jenkins 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off
Try this command in ubuntu
update -rc.d jenkins defaults
Installing a plugin from the Update center results in:
Checking internet connectivity Failed to connect to
http://www.google.com/. Perhaps you need to configure HTTP proxy? Deploy Plugin Failure - Details hudson.util.IOException2: Failed to download from
http://updates.jenkins-ci.org/download/plugins/deploy/1.9/deploy.hpi
Is it possible to download the plugin and install it manually into Jenkins?
Yes, you can. Download the plugin (*.hpi file) and put it in the following directory:
<jenkinsHome>/plugins/
Afterwards you will need to restart Jenkins.
Download the plugin.
Inside Jenkins: Manage Jenkins → Manage Plugins → There is a tab called Advanced and on that page there is an option to upload a plugin (the extension of the file must be hpi).
Sometimes, when you download plugins you may get (.zip) files then just rename with (.hpi) and use the UI to install the plugin.
If you use Docker, you should read this file: https://github.com/cloudbees/jenkins-ci.org-docker/blob/master/plugins.sh
Example of a parent Dockerfile:
FROM jenkins
COPY plugins.txt /plugins.txt
RUN /usr/local/bin/plugins.sh /plugins.txt
plugins.txt
<name>:<version>
<name2>:<version2>
I have created a simple script that does the following:
Download one or more plugins to the plugin directory
Scan all plugins in that directory for missing dependencies
download this dependencies as well
loop until no open dependencies are left
The script requires no running jenkins - I use it to provision a docker box.
https://gist.github.com/micw/e80d739c6099078ce0f3
Sometimes when you download plugins you may get (.zip) files then just rename with (.hpi) and then extract all the plugins and move to <jenkinsHome>/plugins/ directory.
Update for Docker: use the install-plugins.sh script. It takes a list of plugin names minus the '-plugin' extension. See the description here.
install-plugins.sh replaces the deprecated plugins.sh which now warns :
WARN: plugins.sh is deprecated, please switch to install-plugins.sh
To use a plugins.txt as per plugins.sh see this issue and this workaround:
RUN /usr/local/bin/install-plugins.sh $(cat /usr/share/jenkins/plugins.txt | tr '\n' ' ')
Use https://updates.jenkins-ci.org/download/plugins/. Download it from this central update repository for Jenkins.
The accepted answer is accurate, but make sure that you also install all necessary dependencies as well. Installing using the CLI or web seems to take care of this, but my plugins were not showing up in the browser or using java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -s http://localhost:8080 list-plugins until I also installed the dependencies.
The answers given work, with added plugins.
If you want to replace/update a built-in plugin like the credentials plugin, that has dependencies, then you have to use the frontend. To automate I use:
curl -i -F file=#pluginfilename.hpi http://jenkinshost/jenkins/pluginManager/uploadPlugin
In my case, I needed to install a plugin to an offline build server that's running a Windows Server (version won't matter here). I already installed Jenkins on my laptop to test out changes in advance and it is running on localhost:8080 as a windows service.
So if you are willing to take the time to setup Jenkins on a machine with Internet connection and carry these changes to the offline server Jenkins (it works, confirmed by me!), these are steps you could follow:
Jenkins on my laptop: Open up Jenkins, http://localhost:8080
Navigator: Manage Jenkins | Download plugin without install option
Windows Explorer: Copy the downloaded plugin file that is located at "c:\program files (x86)\Jenkins\plugins" folder (i.e. role-strategy.jpi)
Paste it into a shared folder in the offline server
Stop the Jenkins Service (Offline Server Jenkins) through Component Services, Jenkins Service
Copy the plugin file (i.e. role-strategy.jpi) into "c:\program files (x86)\Jenkins\plugins" folder on the (Offline Jenkins) server
Restart Jenkins and voila! It should be installed.
This is a way to copy plugins from one Jenkins box to another.
Copy over the plugins directory:
scp -r jenkins-box.url.com:/var/lib/jenkins/plugins .
Compress the plugins:
tar cvfJ plugins.tar.xz plugins
Copy them over to the other Jenkins box:
scp plugins.tar.xz different-jenkins-box.url.com
ssh different-jenkins-box.url.com "tar xvfJ plugins.tar.xz -C /var/lib/jenkins"
Restart Jenkins.
use this link to download the lastest version of the plugins' hpi. https://updates.jenkins-ci.org/download/plugins/
Then upload the plugin through 'manage plugin' in Jenkins
To install plugin "git" with all its dependencies:
curl -XPOST http://localhost:8080/pluginManager/installNecessaryPlugins -d '<install plugin="git#current" />'
Here, the plugin installed is git ; the version, specified as #current is ignored by Jenkins. Jenkins is running on localhost port 8080, change this as needed. As far as I know, this is the simplest way to install a plugin with all its dependencies 'by hand'. Tested on Jenkins v1.644
RUN /usr/local/bin/install-plugins.sh amazon-ecs:1.37 configuration-as-code:1.47 workflow-aggregator:2.6 \
cloudbees-folder:6.15 antisamy-markup-formatter:2.1 build-timeout:1.20 credentials-binding:1.24
Cat out the plugins.txt and install in Dockerfile as above.
