I have created a jenkins server in Mac OS X, and have iOS application project files in windows machine(not configured anything in windows machine) here want to achieve the below points.
Have to upload the iOS application projects into mac os x jenkins
server
Create a job for that uploaded project
have to build that project.
download the package files into windows machine
is this possible to achieve using jenkins framework?.
yes it is possible
the easiest way is to:
use git to upload project from windows to some git server (ex. github.com or your own installation on OsX machine)
configure jenkins job to use git repository you've created and add proper build step
use 'Publish Over CIFS' plugin to push build result to windows share

I am trying to copy war and ear files from windows share path(UNC) to linux target servers where jboss jvm is running and then deploy these files using our custom script. this is for applications that are still not using tfs to do their build. i tried download from file share task in azure devops but that is only copying to the agent location but not to the target server. if anyone has come across this situation and found a solution please do share your thoughts. appreciate it. thanks.
You need to use two tasks/steps to handle this situation.
Copy/download files from windows share path(UNC) to a folder path in build agent machine, such as $(Agent.BuildDirectory)
Copy files from a source folder to a target folder on a remote Linux server machine over SSH.
Since you have successfully download from file share task in Azure DevOps to agent machine. Then you just need to use Copy Files Over SSH task.
Use this task in a build or release pipeline to copy files from a
source folder to a target folder on a remote machine over SSH.
This task allows you to connect to a remote machine using SSH and copy
files matching a set of minimatch patterns from specified source
folder to target folder on the remote machine. Supported protocols for
file transfer are SFTP and SCP via SFTP. In addition to Linux, macOS
is partially supported.
More detail configuration about this task please refer official link here-- Copy Files Over SSH task
any idea if it is possible to generate .ipa (ios app ) with jenkins installed on ubuntu machine.
If it is a NO (and i think its)
any other solution guys
i saw travis but it doesn't support bitbucket
I tried circleCi but you need to pay if you want a suuport for ios
so the only solution i find it is to use the distributed arch of jenkins , that means :
I will install a Jenkins master on my Ubuntu machine and another slave node on a mac machine and give it the access so i can build my own ipa every time there is triggers on my repo.
I have a machine with blocked outgoing connections so it is not possible to update jenkins nor install the plugins I need for my work.
My idea is the following: I download the jenkins .war on my personal laptop and complete the installation + the plugin download.
Then I just move this .war to the machine where I need jenkins to be up and running.
Is it possible? Where are the plugins/updated data stored?
Also, would it be a problem the fact that my laptop has windows as os, while the destination machine is a linux RHEL?
Your solution sounds crazy :D
This could be help you:
Update Jenkins war
If you have shell access with root privilege, there is a manual way.
Download latest war file inside your linux, using wget , curl or just upload it using winscp from your windows.
Stop jenkins
Backup EVERYTHING: linux snapshot, jenkins workspace, jenkins war file, etc
Replace the old war with new war
Start jenkins

Plugin
Jenkins has an option to install plugins called Manage Plugins
This offer two options :
(1) Install plugins using available option
For official and compatible plugins, suggested by Jenkins :
(2) Install plugins using upload option
For custom plugins or when is not available on official repositories:
I have found many examples of Linux to Windows or OSX to Windows, but battling to find how to copy build files from a Windows server installation of Jenkins, to the
Windows server which will host the website.
I tried Copy Artifact Plugin - but it seems this is used to copy other builds into the current build - is this correct?
Or can it be used to copy the build that just execute to a remote Windows folder?
What should I use to copy to another Windows server?
I would like to not use batch files. Can/should powershell be used?
The idea would be to copy the files to a timestamped folder on the hosting Windows server
e.g.
xcopy *.* \\MyHostingServer\Temp
Then only after everything has copied successfully - to copy the files from MyHostingServer\Temp into the correct web folder. This is to prevent the deployment to the web folder if e.g. network connection was lost halfway.
I am having a really hard time getting Windows specific information.
I suggest to use two jobs:
build job is running on the first Windows server. Archive your build files as an artifacts to the job
deployment job should run on second Windows server. You can use "Copy artifacts from another project" to get your build files locally (on second server)
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!
