I can't seem to run a build execute shell step in Jenkins. I've worked with Hudson in the past on windows and I was able to create shell/batch steps without a problem but I seem to be be missing something here.
It's a fresh jenkins install and I go to "add build step", "execute shell" and enter "echo hi" in the command. I run the build and when I look in the console output, nothing happens.
I've also tried executing a test.sh file which also just echoes hi. I've tested this in both a linux install and an os X installed Jenkins server.
What am I missing in the configuration to run a shell script?
The console output shows that the shell script steps were skipped completely
Started by user admin
Finished: SUCCESS
It looks like Jenkins is not being able to redirect the output from the system. What version of Java are you using? If you're using OpenJDK, could you try with Sun Java/Sun JDK?
First test to try to check if anything is executing at all: add the following to your "Execute Shell"
#!/bin/bash
echo "HELLO WORLD" > /tmp/testfile
Run this and check if there is a /tmp/testfile in on your Linux system, and if it contains the HELLO WORLD text, it means your script is in fact executing.
Which version of Jenkins do you have?
The last good version that I can attest to (last one I know works well at least for us) is 1.447. If you're not using that one, would you be able to try with it?
Also, could you add #!/bin/sh or #!/bin/bash before echo hi on your "Execute Shell" for the Linux system and see if that works.
Also, try running a script using source /path/to/script and see if that works. The script should contain #!/bin/sh or #!/bin/bash as the first line, just to see if that makes a difference.
Note: none of this should be required, but is helpful just to get more information on what's going on. Couldn't fit all this into a comment. I'll update my answer based on your answers to the above, or delete if I can't get anything..
Putting this here for posterity.
I had a Jenkins project configured with Maven running clean test and a execute shell in the pre steps. The logs from Maven where not coming through and the script was not executing. Once I unchecked Build modules in parallel under the Maven build options my logs and scripts started working.
Make sure its in a location where Jenkins can see it, check permissions.

I am new to SCM tool like Jenkins so I may not actually ask the right question.
I find out there is a specific Gradle executed task failed when check the logs of Jenkins.
However, I cannot find out where the Gradle executed task is defined and what is the content of it.
I look up the [CONFIGURE] of Jenkins and then in the [BUILD] section, there is a section called [Invoked Gradle script] and I could see the name (lets call it X here) of executed Gradle task I am looking for.
But I cannot find where X is really defined and what command it actually run, Does anyone has any suggestion? Thanks.
You can try using gradle in verbose mode
gradle -S build
-S, --full-stacktrace
Print out the full (very verbose) stacktrace for any exceptions. See also logging options.
or try using debug mode
-d, --debug
Log in debug mode (includes normal stacktrace).
https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/command_line_interface.html
Gradle provides a Domain Specific Language (DSL), for describing builds. This uses the Groovy language to make it easier to describe a build. Each build script of Gradle is encoded using UTF-8, saved offline and named as build.gradle.
By default, Gradle command will invoke Gradle script from build.gradle file.
You can run a Gradle build using the Gradle command. This command looks for a file called build.gradle.

this is my first time using Jenkins for automated test.I've tried to run a test by integrate Newman with Jenkins but I always get the
Console Error
"Newman : command not found"
as a result,it's make my test failed.
I have looking for some answers on the Internet and some tell me to add a value for Environment variables, but I don't know how to get the exact value to add to this. Please show me where can I get this.I'm using MacOS High Sierra
Install https://plugins.jenkins.io/nodejs in jenkins
In Global Tool Configuration add Nodejs and in "Global npm packages to install" add newman
In Build Environment use "Provide Node & npm bin/ folder to PATH"
In Build add "execute shell" if you are using linux or use "execute windows batch command" if you are on windows and add your newman command
For example:
newman run

the html extra reporter only worked for me once enabling 'locate executor' and flag "with ant" as well, under the provide node & npm option.
I had the similar problem. I had several lines of the text in the Command field. According to advice I used backslashes to make it look pretier and I couldn't create a report with Newman. I got a report only after deleteing the backslashes and writing all information in one line
I am trying to run jmeter(.jmx) file using Jenkins by passing Number of Threads as a Parameter. Build getting success but .jmx file is not running. And also not showing any error in console.Following are my setup
In Jmeter Thread properties --Number of thread (Users)- ${__P(USERS,1)
In Jenkins job Created build string parameter -- USER_COUNT
Build using Execute shell and following is my command
cd /apache-jmeter-2.13/bin
./jmeter.sh -n -t /jmxFiles/Jbpm6Rest3Jenkins1.jmx -l /jmxFiles/SIP.jtl -JUSERS=%USER_COUNT%
While starting build passing USER_COUNT value from Jenkins
Following is the Jenkins console output
Jenkins Console Output
Not sure where i am doing wrong.
Note: Not using Ant/Maven to run jmx file.
As the other answer mentioned, change the %_USER_COUNT% to ${USER_COUNT}.
But is there any specific reason you are not using Ant/Maven?
Eventhough you should be able to run your jmeter test using a simple shell script, using Ant/Maven might make your life easier while generating report, charts etc.
I would advise you check the below links.
http://www.testautomationguru.com/jmeter-continuous-performance-testing-part1/
http://www.testautomationguru.com/jmeter-continuous-performance-testing-part2/
From the output, seems you are running a shell build step ($ /bin/sh -xe ....), which means your Jenkins runs on Linux (?). Also the paths use forward slash (/)....
You should put the string ${USER_COUNT} as part of your command (%USER_COUNT% is windows style).
I hope this helps.
I have a series of frontend tests written in CasperJS that I need to run in Jenkins. Here is command I run from the command line: casperjs test ./src/tests/**/ts_*.js --xunit=xunit.xml. This runs the tests and saves the xunit file. Ok. When I have Jenkins run the same command it gets through loading the first test page and spits out this error: "Process leaked file descriptors" and directs me to: https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Spawning+processes+from+build
It provides an explanation and a few OS specific work arounds. The environment this will be run on will eventually be linux however my development environment is Windows and I don't understand the workaround they provide. What kind of file is that and how does it fit with Jenkins?
Does anyone have experience running CasperJS tests using Jenkins?
I installed jenkins as a service and use default settings.
I solved same issue on windows.
if you are running as a service and default home directory ( c:/program files(x86)/jenkins/ )
you have to change path to other normal folder(ex.c:/jenkins/").
SET JENKINS_HOME=c:\jenkins\
What I do with jenkins and casper:
I create a job with string parameter 'tests', which takes *.js or specified test
and try to run casper tests via Build -> Execute shell
cd ~/test_directory
casperjs test ${tests}
I am looking at using Jenkins on Windows.
I currently have an ant script. It works pretty well. Except for instance, when the build breaks because of a syntax error, I can not see the error in the Jenkins console log.
So I am thinking may be ant is not the best tool for use on Windows.
What do most of you use for Jenkins on Windows?
If it is ant, how do you send the build output, VStudio, to the Jenkins console?
Thanks
Primarily I use Jenkins with maven projects, although you should see the ANT output in the online logs regardless.
What are you building? Are you building Java projects? Ant is what you use. If you are bulding a C project, you should use Make. If you're building a VisualStudio project, you should use msbuild. You use the build tool for your project. Jenkins will execute them without a problem.
Take a look at the build in question. On the left side of the screen, there's a Console output item. Click on that. Is there any output. No matter what tool you use, Jenkins captures the STDOUT and STDERR in that console output. If nothing else, you should see the exact commands Jenkins is executing to checkout and to build your project. Try executing those commands.
Still, you didn't give us much to go on. No idea what you're building or what you're doing with Ant. You didn't state any error, the console output, or even what the Jenkins error log is stating.
Jenkins does two things:
It watches your repository for changes.
Once it detects the changes, it executes the very commands you'd execute to build the project.
Jenkins doesn't care whether you use Ant, Maven, Make, or simply do a del /s/q. Jenkins will simply execute the commands you tell it to execute.
Addendum
It is c, c++, Java and InstallShield. I use ant to do file copy and move, call msdev.exe project. Some Javac calls, InstallShield command line builds..
Jenkins can execute multiple step builds in a single job. After you specify the build step, you can press the Add button to add another build step. There's no reason that all the build steps even have to be of the same type. Just select a "Freestyle" build, and use the right build tools for the job.
There's an optional MSBUILD plugin in Jenkins that should do your MS Build. This should give you the complete output from MSBuild, so you can see any errors.
After you do your MSBuild step, you can create a second build step to run an Ant task to build your InstallShield. After that, you could run another build step to do the copying you need either on the command line or through something like Ant (or Nant.
Whatever the output of the various tools is the output you'll get in the build console.
dev.cmd shows the output and I continue to use ant.
