I have to copy files after build on a TeamCity-Agent via FTP. The orndinary buildjob works itself works fine. The triggering of a custom script finish successfull, too.
The step "copy files via ftp" fails with the following error:
[15:34:31]: copyFiles
[15:34:31]: [copyFiles] ftp
[15:34:31]: [ftp] Could not create type ftp due to java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/net/ftp/FTPClientConfig
I searched the web for a while and found many times the same answer: "You have to put commons-net.jar and jakarta-oro.jar in your ANT-plugin directory." So I downloaded these two files and copied it into C:\TeamCity\buildAgent\lib, but the error still exists.
Now the question:
Where do I have to copy these files to make FTP work? Or am I on the wrong track?
You've put the jar into the wrong place, it must be in the classpath of Ant, not in the classpath of the build agent.
You should find ant.zip file (TeamCity\WEB-INF\plugins\ant-tool\agent\ant.zip) and put the required jar (commons-net-1.4.1.jar, for example) inside ant\lib directory of the ant.zip file.
After the zip is re-packaged, TeamCity will update build agents with the new Ant version and commons-net dependency will be automatically available for Ant via its own classpath.
Note that you will have to repeat this step every time you update TeamCity to a new version.
Another option is to install Ant on build agent machines manually and configure TeamCity to use custom Ant installation (with all the required custom dependencies in the Ant's lib directory), however it's inconvenient if you have many build agents, but you will not have to repeat this step when updating TeamCity server.
Ant-net-task tool is bundled with TeamCity. This tool has jar files necessary for FTP, sshexec, scp and mail.
To use it Additional Ant command line parameters: -lib "%teamcity.tool.ant-net-tasks%" should be added.

I want to deployto WebLogic using groovy code inside Jenkins job pipeline.
Has anyone ever used a groovy code inside Jenkins job pipeline to deploy to WebLogic application? WebLogic version is 10.x.
I know how to do it with freestyle job and it works via plugin, but when I click on pipeline syntax, I don't see nothing from this plugin.
I have googled and googled, and nothing actually works or is not the scope of my needs and too complex to understand so I could addapt (using Java etc).
SOLVED: OK so I found a way and a way to make it work. Basically one can write a python (jython) code which can manage WebLogic with its built-in WLST scripting mechanism.
But to make everything work, one needs to:
generate wlfullclient.jar on your WebLogic machine: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E12839_01/web.1111/e13717/jarbuilder.htm#SACLT239
Use the following steps to create a wlfullclient.jar file for a JDK 1.6 client application:
Change directories to the server/lib directory.
cd WL_HOME/server/lib
Use the following command to create wlfullclient.jar in the server/lib directory:
java -jar wljarbuilder.jar
You can now copy and bundle the wlfullclient.jar with client applications.
Add the wlfullclient.jar to the client application's classpath.
in order for this to work from other machine, without installing WebLogic to it, one needs additional .jar files, which can be found on WebLogic machine in some Weblogic folder e.g. C:\bea10\wlserver_10.3....
copy dependent .jar files to desired machine, create empty props.txt file and call your python script like this (in the command you will note which .jar files are also needed in classpath -cp). Dweblogic.home is where weblogic.jar is located. Note that if you gonna put those jars in environment classpath variable, you can NOT add a path to folder, since .jar and .zip files need to be targeted directly.
java -cp C:\Users\icami\Desktop\weblogic\wlfullclient.jar;C:\Users\icami\Desktop\weblogic\com.bea.core.xml.xmlbeans_2.2.0.0.jar;C:\Users\icami\Desktop\weblogic\com.oracle.cie.comdev_6.4.0.0.jar;C:\Users\icami\Desktop\weblogic\com.oracle.cie.config-wls-schema_10.3.6.0.jar;C:\Users\icami\Desktop\weblogic\com.oracle.cie.config-wls_7.2.0.0.jar;C:\Users\icami\Desktop\weblogic\com.oracle.cie.config_7.2.0.0.jar;C:\Users\icami\Desktop\weblogic\com.oracle.cie.wizard_6.1.0.0.jar;C:\Users\icami\Desktop\weblogic\com.oracle.core.weblogic.msgcat_1.2.0.0.jar;C:\Users\icami\Desktop\weblogic\jython.jar;C:\Users\icami\Desktop\weblogic\weblogic.jar -Dprod.props.file=C:\Users\icami\Desktop\weblogic\props.txt -Dbea.home= -Dweblogic.home=C:\Users\icami\Desktop\weblogic weblogic.WLST test.py
Example of a safe test.py, it only retreives state, listen address etc, doesn't change anything, feel free to run it:
username = 'weblogic'
password = 'weblogic'
URL='t3://weblogic.domain.com:7001'
connect(username,password,URL)
domainRuntime()
cd('ServerRuntimes')
servers=domainRuntimeService.getServerRuntimes()
for server in servers:
serverName=server.getName();
print '**************************************************\n'
print '############## ', serverName, '###############'
print '**************************************************\n'
print '##### Server State #####', server.getState()
print '##### Server ListenAddress #####', server.getListenAddress()
print '##### Server ListenPort #####', server.getListenPort()
print '##### Server Health State #####', server.getHealthState()
We are working on the configuration process for the Continuous Integration for some projects, we are using TFS and now we have a problem with some releases definitions. We want to use the Web Deploy package created in the Build process for the Deployment.
So far the build definition that we have is following:
enter image description here
The path for the creation of the package is the default, so we are able to find it inside the artifact directory. But the problem is when we nee extract the files in the target folder for the website in the server.
The Release definition that we are using is:
enter image description here
In this part in the Download artifact phase the agent doing the release has access to the published files in the build process, so here we know where the .zip package is, and we can have the path using $(System.ArtifactsDirectory), but if we use Deploy IIS App task, as you can see we are connecting to the servers where we are doing the release and $(System.ArtifactsDirectory) give us the local address for the artifacts where the agents are configured, and the variable give the path like C:\agent_work\r1\a, where C is local for the agent, and the .zip file doesn't exist in that address. And we can't build a new path like \Myserver\$(System.ArtifactsDirectory).... , because $(System.ArtifactsDirectory) is an absolute path and as a result the whole path it is : \Myserver\C:\Myfolder....
We need other solution, we have considered in the build process create the package in a different folder, and in this case we always know where is the package, we aren't depending on the agent folders, and in this way we can use as Web Deploy Package path: \Myserver\packagefolder\file.zip, but we would like to use a different solution.
Is there any way to have the artifact folder with a relative path or something like this????
You could use Windows Machine File Copy task to copy the package file from agent to the servers where you are doing the release.
Use this task to copy application files and other artifacts such as
PowerShell scripts and PowerShell-DSC modules that are required to
install the application on Windows Machines. It uses RoboCopy, the
command-line utility built for fast copying of data.
You could use a temporary folder handling the package file on the agent. Such as Build.StagingDirectory. Build variables
Add a packagelocation such as /p:PackageLocation="$(Build.StagingDirectory)\\ in your MSbuild Arguments. Then copy the files from StagingDirectory to your local folder in remote server by using Windows Machine File Copy task.
I have been tasked with looking into using Jenkins as a build server. So far I have managed to pull a project from git, restore the Nuget packages, build the project and run the unit tests. However I am struggling to find out how to generate the artifact.
The way the business would like to have the build server generate a zip file to a directory on the build server or a remote server for the systems team then to pick up and deploy to the relevant location. E.g. given a windows service project the built bin directory would be zipped up and put in the relevant artifact directory.
I thought that in order to do this I add an archive the artifacts post-build action. However I am getting the below error:
‘Watchdog.WinService.Monitor/bin/Release/*.zip’ doesn’t match anything:
‘Watchdog.WinService.Monitor’ exists but not
‘Watchdog.WinService.Monitor/bin/Release/*.zip’
If I look in the workspace for this project I can browse to the bin directory and see all the files so I unsure what I have done wrong.
Can someone please let me know if what I am trying to accomplish is possible, and also if our approach to using Jenkins is correct?
The problem is that you try to create the artifact using the archive artifatcs step.
But the step is to collect artifacts and show them on the job page.
That means you need to create the artifact first e.g. using a shell or batch script.
You can combine this with the Flexible Publish Plugin.
When you select this as post build step you can create a conditional action that runs the artifact archive task and as condition executes the script that creates the zip file.
So if that fails the task won't be executed. Also it may causes your job to 'fail' but that may not be the case in your job.
I am facing a weird issue here. In my jenkins job I've configured it to pull my project's source code from artifacts. So I get 2 directories in workspace called classes and resources. Now some of my tests are failing with FileNotFoundException, stating ABCD.js not found in the given path. When I check this path in the jenkins workspace, this file exists there.
I am not sure about the problem. However, there are following tasks which I've added in the build steps.
1. Download the jar from the artifacts.
2. Unjar the downloaded jar in workspace.
3. Run the tests in the workspace.
I might be missing something, but I have been struggling with this problem for some time now.
I have an Web application with Ant build script. I would like to set up an Artifact to this module, (which is the .war file, generated using ant), so that I could deploy this war file, to the configured Tomcat server.
But I am not able to figure out, how to make Intellij use my Ant script to build artifact. I see an option to Run Ant Targets, but this just runs the Ant target and Intellij then proceeds to generate Artifact, in the usual way.
Please let me know if the question is ambiguous. The problem is not Ant Integration with Intellij. I could just use the Ant window and run any target and also could make an Ant target run as part of Build. The problem is to associate an Artifact to a module and leverage the Ant script to build that artifact. I need this to enable, tight tomcat integration, Since while integrating the Tomcat server, I can specify an artifact to be deployed.
Note: Intellij IDEA version 11.1
IDEA can either deploy Artifact or the External Source (directory or file) that is built by Ant or any other tool:
It's not possible to associate IDEA Artifact with Ant build.
