Continuous Integration - Jenkins not invoking WedDriver test - jenkins

Question

I'm trying to use jenkins to run selenium webdriver test (continuous integration) but so far I've had no success at all. My setup:
- eclipse
- testng
- ant (build.xml files)
- jenkins
- everything is hosted locally
I'm running my test in parallel (1 test, 3 browsers) and this works fine if I run the testng file, if I run the ant file (build.xml) it says 'build successful' but nothing happens if also run this same file in jenkins it says the same thing 'build successful' but again nothing happens. From this I can deduce that jenkins is running the correct file but its just not executing the test. I've even tried to use maven but I don't understand it so the code doesn't even compile when I take this route.
Can someone help me and point me in the right direction because I believe I'm missing something. I've included a photo of my jenkins set and below is a copy of my ant file:

Answer 1

I can explain you the way I have done it in jenkins, maven and code. It should be pretty much similar with ant. This should certainly make jenkins fire your tests.
In code:
Create test suite class like below
#RunWith(Suite.class)
#Suite.SuiteClasses
({
Test1.class,
Test2.class
})
public class UnitTestSuite{}
In maven: use maven-surefire-plugin in pom.xml as below:
<!-- TEST -->
<plugin>
<!-- Runs the unit tests. -->
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${surefire.version}</version>
<configuration>
<includes>
<include>**/UnitTestSuite.java</include>
</includes>
</configuration>
</plugin>
and finally in jenkins build section set goals as
clean install -e -Dmaven.test.failure.ignore=false

Answer 2

Try modifying your ant file by adding in target "jenkins_run_selenium" as below:
<target name="jenkins_run_selenium">
<mkdir dir="${junit.output.dir}"/>
<junit fork="yes" printsummary="withOutAndErr">
<formatter type="xml"/>
<test name="tests.MyUnitTests" todir="${junit.output.dir}"/>
<classpath refid="jenkins_run_selenium.classpath"/>
</junit>
</target>
