I would like to use Jenkins to copy newly commited code from Perforce to a Dev Server.
When the project is run in Jenkins it will detect all changes in Perforce workspace and build+deploy code to specific server.
I am using Jenkins on Windows box.
I have installed Jenkins and the Perforce plugin on Windows 7 laptop currently for testing/trying.
The configurations have all been setup,
In Configure System - > Perforce -> Path to Perforce exe is set to C:\Program Files\Perforce\p4v.exe, which is the right path.
In the project under Source Code Management -> Perforce I have setup
hostname:port,
username and password,
workspace,
client view type to View Map with location.
When I try to build the project I get an exception:
Started by user anonymous
Building in workspace <http://localhost:8080/job/Test3/ws/>

What is wrong and how do I accomplish my goals (Jenkins will detect all changes in Perforce and build+deploy code to specific server.)?
You said that "Path to Perforce exe is set to C:\Program Files\Perforce\p4v.exe".
p4v.exe is the GUI tool for Perforce.
You probably want the command line tool for Perforce, which is 'p4.exe'.
See if you have 'p4.exe' in the same directory, and change your configuration to point to p4.exe instead of p4v.exe.

I have configured a new msbuild path and name
in the jenkins configure tool. The configuration pointing to v15
I receive thew following error:
C:\jenkins_slave\cortana\workspace\xxx\testing>exit 0 FATAL:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual
Studio\2017\Professional\MSBuild\15.0\Bin doesn't exist Build step
'Build a Visual Studio project or solution using MSBuild' marked build
as failure
How can I solve it?
In second screenshot you need to put slash at the end of the path:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\BuildTools\MSBuild\15.0\Bin\
However, to use Jenkins MSBuild plugin for VS2017 there are other things to consider. Launching MSBuild executable in my case required bunch of environment variables to be configured which otherwise are set in "Development Command Prompt".
I am contemplating using "dotnet build", "dotnet test" etc. in command line instead.
I've been scratching my head on this issue but haven't found a way around it. I've installed Jenkins on my OSX v10.8.4 using the Jenkins 1.571 installer from the Jenkins website.
It gets installed by default in /Users/Shared/Jenkins/Home folder.
I want to use Jenkins to act as a CI server for my iOS code residing on my company's perforce server. For this I created a user(matching to that of my perforce user along with the same password)on my OSX box. I also copied the P4 command line to /usr/local/bin and correctly setup the P4PORT to point to my perforce server settings. So far so good.
I verified that I was able to connect to my perforce server from command line by using the p4 login command, and it worked successfully.
I then installed the perforce plugin from Jenkins Manage plugins option (https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Perforce+Plugin).
Now when I create a new job and specify the settings correctly in the perforce plugin piece of the jenkins job, I always get these errors:

ERROR: Unable to communicate with perforce. Could not run perforce command.
Finished: FAILURE`
First I specified the perforce jenkins plugin to create the workspace for me and also let jenkins to manage my views, but I still got the same above error.
Following is my view map:
//depot/rombay/MarketingApplication/iOS/ianywhere/... //ios-jenkins/depot/rombay/MarketingApplication/iOS/anywhere/...
I then created a workspace using the p4v client, and then deselected letting jenkins create my workspaces and manage my views. The view map remains the same. However, I still get the same error.
My hunch is that since Jenkins is installed in the shared folder it's not able to execute the p4 command. However, I tried doing that and it opened up the clientspec in vi for me, which is I guess the expected behavior, but I still don't understand as to why it says that it can't find the p4 program to work for me.
Any help here would be deeply appreciated as I've run out of ideas as to what could possibly be I doing wrong.
No softlinks are required. Check if you have updated the Global Settings for p4. Manage Jenkins->Global Settings
I'm trying to integrate Jenkins with Perforce, but I'm having a few problems.
I managed (apparently, because Jenkins still shows a "Unable to check workspace against depot" message) to link Jenkins to Perforce.
My project includes an Ant script to make the build and I cannot figure out how to use it.
I've added an Ant build step, indicating the name of the ant file (dev_build.xml), but when I run the job Jenkins complains that it cannot find the Ant file.
Jenkins looks for the file in its workspace, but the file is actually located in Perforce's workspace. I expected Jenkins to check out the project but this is not happening: the folder Jenkins\Workspace\MyProject is empty.
I've then copied the Ant file into Jenkins workspace folder, but obviously the Ant fails because it cannot find the source folder.
Any ideas?
I had to create a new perforce workspace dedicated to Jenkins, mapped to the workspace folder.
P4 now synchronizes the files correctly.
I'm new to continuous integration. I'm trying to get Jenkins to execute unit tests from a TFS project. My Jenkins build (pre-NUnit build step) is successful and I've installed the NUnit Jenkins plugin and I've read this post, but it's failing with this error: "The system cannot find the path specified."
I think the trouble is that I'm NOT running from my local machine, so the test DLL that NUnit should be running is missing I think. How can I reference that DLL properly? Do I need an extra Build Step to copy the files or something? Here's my "Execute Windows Batch Command" build step command:
"C:\Program Files\NUnit 2.6.3\bin\nunit-console.exe Victoria.Tests.Integration/bin/Debug/Victoria.Tests.Integration.dll /xml=nunit-result.xml"
The problem is that your command is all in quotes, including the parameters.
Change
"C:\Program Files\NUnit 2.6.3\bin\nunit-console.exe Victoria.Tests.Integration/bin/Debug/Victoria.Tests.Integration.dll /xml=nunit-result.xml"
to
"C:\Program Files\NUnit 2.6.3\bin\nunit-console.exe" Victoria.Tests.Integration/bin/Debug/Victoria.Tests.Integration.dll /xml=nunit-result.xml
i am trying to execute devenv.exe through windows batch command plugin in Jenkins
but it keeps on executing and fails to launch the application.

You must execute devenv.com.
The devenv.exe always attempts to open GUI, even when commands are given, and it can't. The devenv.com has output directed to standard output and works fine from Jenkins.
You also must pass arguments.
Without arguments both devenv.com and devenv.exe just start the IDE GUI, which is not what you want. The correct command-line is
devenv.com projectname.sln /Build Release /Project projectname
First is path to the solution you want to build. Then the /Build flag is followed by configuration. If you have multiple platforms, you have to pass configuration and platform combination, e.g. Release|Win32. The /Project flag names project to build (including all dependencies). If omitted, it builds all projects selected for build in given configuration.
Why don't you use msbuild?
This would be a good starting point for your windows build script:
call "%VS100COMNTOOLS%\vsvars32.bat"
msbuild projectname.sln /target:Rebuild /l:FileLogger,Microsoft.Build.Engine;logfile=msbuild.log || goto error
goto end
:error
#echo ERROR: Build failed
exit/b 1
:end
exit/b 0
This way you can also capture the output log that you can parse with one of the jenkins plugins.
Ofcourse, adjust the VS100COMNTOOLS to your version of MSVS
