I am attempting to build a VB5 (legacy...I know) project using Jenkins and a Master/Slave configuration.
The master checks out the project on the slave then runs a batch file which looks like the following:
"C:\Program Files\devstudio\vb\vb5" /make project.vbp
The project contains a custom DLL which is registered on the slave via regsvr32. This dll supplies a control which is used in the project.
During the make command above, the following errors are received on the slave:
Error during load. Refer to [path to .log file] for details
The log file contains the following error:
Line 63: Cannot load control [control name]
If I run the make command directly on the command line of the slave it works perfectly.
Here are some configuration details:
Master:
Windows 7 32bit running latest version of Jenkins.
Slave:
Windows XP connecting to Master via command line and slave.jar
Logged in account has admin access
Turns out that this was an error on my part. I was reading the contents of the .VBP project file and replacing the version number using a java program. I was using the wrong line endings when I wrote the content back to the project file and this was causing errors on the make command

I need to configure my soap ui project through jenkins using windows batch command but the soap project is not executing the cases.
Below command line is working from command prompt and running the project but same line is not working in the jenkins (cmd)
cd C:\Program Files\SmartBear\SoapUI-5.2.1\bin
testrunner.bat "localprojecpath\soapProjectFile.xml"
In the jenkins it shows loading--->>
but project is not running yet so need some one help on this.
It looks like what you are doing is fine. But it seems like you are using some imported JAR files, that hasn't been added to the free version of SoapUI used on your build server.
Failed to load class "org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder"
Whatever JAR you've included when using this class, should also be added to the SoapUI installations on each and every one of your build servers.
I have a problem trying to launch a server via a .bat file during a TFS build.
I usually launch the server via a cmd window and it works fine.
When I set it in the TFS build, I end up with the following message :
"'..\server_common.bat' is not recognized as an internal command or external, an executable or a command file".
I also have the following line:
"java -Dsun.lang.ClassLoader.allowArraySyntax=true -Xbootclasspath/a:..\..\..\lib\framework\serverjvm15.jar; -cp ..\..\..\lib\framework\fwtime.jar;" indicating a java syntax error (? I'm not skilled in java)
This batch calls other .bat files and sets java VM-related environment variables
From my research, it is probably a problem of rights as I don't have admin rights when I use TFS. However, all the other steps in the build work fine (installing and launching an appli through command lines, or launching a python script via command lines).
However I also tried to launch a basic script with the same kind of step and it works.
First, suggest you to follow the tutorial in Batch script. Make sure you have meet the requirements of Arguments and used correctly. Such as
Path
Specify the path to the .bat or .cmd script you want to run. The path
must be a fully qualified path or a valid path relative to
the default working directory. In Team Foundation Build, this
directory is $(Build.SourcesDirectory).
Also RDP to your build agent and use your build service account manually run the server_common.bat to narrow down if the account have enough permission.
Im trying to setup jenkins in my company and Ive got some problems.
Im using this commands to build the project:
SET MSBuild="C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\MSBuild.exe"
SET BUILDS=C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\jobs\xxx\builds\
SET OUTPUT_PATH="%BUILDS%%BUILD_NUMBER%"
SET RSVARS="C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\RAD Studio\10.0\bin\rsvars.bat"
CALL %RSVARS%
SET PATH=%PATH%;D:\komponenty\DXE3\ADSI
%MSBuild% xxx.dproj /t:Build /p:Config=Debug;Platform=Win32;DCC_ExeOutput=%OUTPUT_PATH% /maxcpucount:4
It works fine when i type this in cmd but. I gave administrive privileges to jenkins service. When I try to build project with jenkins i receive error like this:
F1026: File not found: 'ADSI.dcu
this is a component for Delphi and i have this component on second partition. Jenkins has access for many components on this partition but not for this one.
The difference between the two will be your current directory.
Jenkins will start you off in a specific working folder for the job (possibly C:\Users\<User-ID>\.jenkins\jobs\<Job-Name>\workspace).
Add the following to your Jenkins commands to see where you're doing the build from:
echo Current Folder: %cd%
A simple "solution" would be to just add a command in Jenkins to change directory to the same folder you're in when you test from the command-line.
However, I suggest you rather do the following:
Ensure Jenkins gets the latest source from your source repository into its working folder. (There are various plugins depending on what particular tool you use.)
Ensure you cd (change directory) to the correct folder within the workspace folder.
I trying to run my Tests cases for a project in Jenkins through DOS Command line on Windows server . I am using Jenkins ver. 1.559.
I am trying to run a Windows batch file through a Jenkins job that has the java command.
Under the "Build" section >> "Execute Windows Batch command" >> Command: call E:\Jenkins\App\UnitTests\App_UnitTests.bat
Save and Build the job.
I am getting an error and here is my Console Output

The java command runs fine outside Jenkins.
I have set the JAVA_HOME for the local user and also the PATH variable to point to where java.exe is.
What am I doing wrong? Please help.
For a windows environment, there is some extra configuration needed for more advanced builds. Ultimately you have two options
From Jenkins, The Definitive Guide:
This basic installation will work fine in a simple context, but you
will often need to fine-tune your service. For example, by default,
the Jenkins service will be running under the local System account.
However, if you are using Maven, Jenkins will need an .m2 directory
and a settings.xml file in the home directory. Similarly, if you
are using Groovy, you might need a .groovy/lib directory. And so on.
To allow this, and to make testing your Jenkins install easier, make
sure you run this service under a real user account with the correct
development environment set up. Alternatively, run the application as the
system user, but use the System Information page in Jenkins to check
the /Users/johnsmart/Projects/Books/jenkins-thedefinitive- guide
directory, and place any files that must be placed in the user home
directory here....
To configure your Jenkins server to run under a service account (The suggested option), Install Jenkins as a service, and under the services properties set the log on user info.
I am trying to use Jenkins to compile my MSBuild project created with Delphi. I have the MSBuild plugin installed into Jenkins and configured. I'm choosing the specific configuration for my build job.
I have set all the environmental variables in Jenkins that are required by the Delphi compiler (from rsvars.bat for you Delphi types.)
The project compiles just fine on the command line. If I do it on the command line, MSBuild reports a nice big fat PATH (the correct one) as part of the command line it uses to call the Delphi compiler.
However, when I try to use it with Jenkins, the result is quite different:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\RAD Studio\8.0\bin\dcc32.exe -$D- -$L- -$Y- --no-config -B -Q -AWinTypes=Windows;WinProcs=Windows;DbiTypes=BDE;DbiProcs=BDE;DbiErrs=BDE -DRELEASE -K00400000 HTMLWriterTestApp.dpr
Embarcadero Delphi for Win32 compiler version 22.0
Copyright (c) 1983,2010 Embarcadero Technologies, Inc.
Noet the complete lack of a path, or any other information about were to find what the compiler needs. This information is there when I run from the command line.
Can anyone think of any reason why Jenkins is failing to get the correct PATH information?
Depending on how you run Jenkins, it may not have the full path line that you are used to seeing. For example, if you run Jenkins as a Windows Service and have your USERS PATH variable populated, you won't necessarily have it populated for the SYSTEM user. In this case, modify the Logon Account used by the Service to be your account, rather than a system one.
I have Jenkins running on a server inside Glassfish, running as the local system account, as it was installed, by using a derivation of this blog post, and I was able to get it to work by setting property variables in the "system configuration" (Jenkins Environment Injector Plug-in) in Jenkins. (BDS, BDSCOMMONDIR, FrameworkDir, FrameworkSDKDir etc...)
Then the trick for Delphi to pick up the appropriate path is to send the command line parameter "Win32LibraryPath" to MSBuild. Make sure to escape your double quotes in this parameter in Jenkins or else you will pull out your hair.
I had Jenkins started as windows service and it could not find an SVN command even if I had SVN\bin in my PATH variable for the System user.
It seems that the service uses only the environment variables available at start up time.
So if later on you add some more environment varibales to the Windows System user, they will not be available to the service.
All you have to do is restart the window service and it will pick the new environment variables !
Anything with git pull/ where git commands, which are not executing from Jenkins is because of the path issue in the environmental variables in Windows.
Check the PATH in Environment variables.
Check the same command executes from windows command prompt or not.
If it is executing & Windows is running as slave service, then restart the slave service from services.msc.
Log out and login back to Jenkins.
