How to configure ant pattern in jenkins for email attachments? - ant

I am trying to give the following ant pattern for attachments.
I believe my base directory could be /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/
I have error.log.gz file in directory /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/error/
The email is coming with no attachments. Can some one please tell where its going wrong, or could you please share a sample ant xml pattern for attachments in jenkins?

Try this pattern-
<attachments>
<fileset dir="dist">
<include name="**/*.gz" />
</fileset>
</attachments>

Try this below pattern in Editable Email Notification,it will send the attachment in email
**/error/error.log.gz

Jmeter 3.0 can't generate the ANT HTML report

I am on the verge of pulling all my hair out, someone please help me..
I am using JMeter 3.0 and am trying to generate the dashboard report from my jtl files, but I get the error -
result.jtl' does not contain the field names header, ensure the jmeter.save.saveservice.* properties are the same as when the CSV file was created or the file may be read incorrectly
my user.properites file contains -
jmeter.save.saveservice.output_format=csv
jmeter.save.saveservice.bytes=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.label=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.latency=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.response_code=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.response_message=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.successful=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.thread_counts=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.thread_name=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.time=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.timestamp_format=ms
jmeter.save.saveservice.timestamp_format=yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss
jmeter.save.saveservice.print_field_names=true
these values are the same in the jmeter.properties file as well, just to ensure I haven't lost anything...
I really can't work out why I can't get the jtl to include the headers, I have followed every guide I can find, and I seem to be doing it right..
Can someone point to me what I am missing, or include a zipped version of their jmeter with it all working that I can try and point my ant project to?
Hope someone can help.
Double check <jmeter> section of your build.xml file. Default JMeter Ant Task assumes XML out put format for .jtl result files so if you have the following line:
<property name="jmeter.save.saveservice.output_format" value="xml"/>
just comment it out or delete it and your issue should be resolved.
I don't think JMeter Ant Task respects overrides via user.properties file, it is better to use jmeterproperties attribute or explicitly specify the relevant configuration in the Ant build file like:
<target name="test">
<jmeter
jmeterhome="${jmeter.home}"
testplan ="${testpath}/${test}.jmx"
resultlog="${testpath}/${test}.jtl">
<property name="jmeter.save.saveservice.output_format" value="csv"/>
<property name="jmeter.save.saveservice.print_field_names" value="true"/>
<property name="jmeter.save.saveservice.timestamp_format" value="ms"/>
<!--etc.-->
</jmeter>
</target>
I would also recommend choosing one of jmeter.save.saveservice.timestamp_format properties (either ms or yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss as it might cause problems with the dashboard generation), having duplicate property names with different values is not a very good practice.

I had noticed before you posted, but it is correct, the XML type was hardcoded in the build.xml, now I have changed that, all is working :)

What is the use of the ant duplicate attribute

In Ant1.8, I have a task like this :
<jar destfile="#{destfile}.jar"
duplicate="fail"
manifest="#{srcfolder}/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF">
<fileset dir="${build_folder}/" excludes="${test_package}/**"/>
<fileset dir="#{srcfolder}" includes="**/*.xml" />
<fileset dir="#{srcfolder}" includes="**/*.properties" />
<fileset dir="#{srcfolder}" includes="**/*.wsdl" />
<manifest>
<attribute name="#{manifest-title}" value="#{manifest-name}"/>
</manifest>
</jar>
What is the duplicate="fail" supposed to do? I keep getting error like this:
Duplicate file META-INF/wsdl/someWsdl.wsdl was found and the duplicate attribute is 'fail'.
The wsdl is supposed to be there because just before building the jar i do wsimport and compile the generated classes.
The documentation has a section explaining the reasons behind the duplicate attribute:
Please note that the zip format allows multiple files of the same fully-qualified name to exist within a single archive. This has been documented as causing various problems for unsuspecting users. If you wish to avoid this behavior you must set the duplicate attribute to a value other than its default, "add".
Are you sure you don't have more than one copy of the file "someWsdl.wsdl"?

Ant: Iterating through an XML file's nodes

I have the following XML structure:
<servers>
<hostname>ABC01</hostname>
<hostname>ABC02</hostname>
</servers>
I need to retrieve a file from each server, from a folder I know, attach it to an email and then send it.
What would be the approach for this?
Thanks.
Use the xmlproperty task to load an XML file into properties.
Then use the for task from ant-contrib to act upon each of the matched properties.
Something like:
<target name="funtimes">
<xmlproperty file="the.xml" delimiter=","/>
<for list="${servers.hostname}" param="hostname">
<sequential>
<echo>Doing things with #{hostname}</echo>
</sequential>
</for>
</target>
Fetching files depends upon how you are planning to access them. The scp task might help.
For sending email you can use the mail task.

Ant exclude file based on it's content

Is there any way to exclude files from an ant fileset based on the file content?
We do have test servers where code files are mixed up with files that have been generated by a CMS.
Usually, the files are placed in different folders, but there is a risk that real code files are in the middle of generated code.
The only way to differentiate generated files is to open the files and look at it's content. If the file contains a keyword, it should be excluded.
Does anyone know a way to perform this with Ant?
From the answer provided by Preet Sangha, Ishould use a filterchain. However, I'm missing a step here.
Let's say I load a text file of exclusions to be performed:
<loadfile property="exclusions" srcFile="exclusions.txt" />
But I don't know how to integrate it into my current copy task:
<copy todir="${test.dir}">
<fileset dir="${src.dir}">
</fileset>
</copy>
I tried to add the following exclude to the fileset but it does not do anything:
<exclude name="${exclusions}"/>
I'm sure I'm missing a simple step...
Have a look at the not and contains selectors.
The not selector contains an example of pretty much exactly what you're trying to do.
<copy todir="${test.dir}">
<fileset dir="${src.dir}">
<not>
<contains text="your-keyword-here"/>
</not>
</fileset>
</copy>
There's also the containsregexp selector which might be useful if your criteria for exclusion is more complicated.
There's a load more selectors you can use to refine your selection if needed.
I don't know ant but reading the docs....
Can you build a files list using a filterchain, and put this into the excludefiles of a fileset?
or
perhaps create a fileset with a filterchain that uses a filterreader and linecontainsregexp

Filter a fileset referenced using a refid

I have a fileset (which is returned from the Maven Ant task), and it contains all the jars I need to repack. This fileset is referenced by a refid. I only want to include our own jars, so I would like to filter that. But Ant filesets don't support any further attributes or nested tags if a refid is used.
For example, if the fileset is:
org.foo.1.jar
org.foo.2.jar
log4j.jar
and I want to have a fileset which contains only
org.foo*.jar
How would I do that?
Try using a restrict resource collection, which you can use like a fileset in any task that uses resource collections to select the groups of files to operate on.
For example, for a fileset returned from your Maven task referenced via an id called dependency.fileset you can declare a restrict resource collection like so:
<restrict id="filtered.dependencies">
<fileset refid="dependency.fileset"/>
<rsel:name name="org.foo*.jar"/>
</restrict>
Note you'll have to declare the resource selector namespace as it isn't part of the built-in Ant namespace:
<project xmlns:rsel="antlib:org.apache.tools.ant.types.resources.selectors">
...
</project>
From here you can reference your restrict resource collection in a similar fashion to how you would reference your fileset. For example, to create backups of your filtered set of files:
<copy todir=".">
<restrict refid="filtered.dependencies"/>
<globmapper from="*" to="*.bak"/>
</copy>
Of course you can inline your restrict resource collection if you so desire:
<copy todir=".">
<restrict>
<fileset refid="dependency.fileset"/>
<rsel:name name="org.foo*.jar"/>
</restrict>
<globmapper from="*" to="*.bak"/>
</copy>
Have a look at the Ant documentation on resource collections for further information.
I think you'll need to write an ant task for that. They're pretty easy to write though.
See http://ant.apache.org/manual/develop.html#writingowntask
In your task, you'll need to call getProject() and ask it to give you the fileset, walk through it, and create a new one.
I 'm using Ant with Ivy. With the help of Ivy it is possible to filter dependencies for retrieval, with the following code in ivy.xml:
<dependency name="Project1" rev="latest.integration" transitive="true" conf="modlibs">
<exclude name="${exclusionRegEx}" matcher="regexp" />
</dependency>
<dependency name="Project2" rev="latest.integration" transitive="false" conf="modules"/>
Maybe a quick look at the Ivy source 'll help?
If you are using a sufficiently recent version of Ant and the JDK, for example, Ant 1.7 and JDK 6, then you can use the optional script task to do what you want. (Earlier versions may also work.) The page I linked to, if you scroll down to the text "The goal is to list the filesizes" then you'll see a sample script that creates a Fileset.
This isn't for the faint of heart, and a custom ant task you write yourself will probably be more flexible. But I wanted to point out the option.
