I am working on a jenkins plugin that consists in displaying information on a new page on Jenkins.
The information I need to display is the changelists from Perforce.
This, I manage to do with the command
"p4 changelists"
What I don't know how to do is get all the builds that are inside the changelists, to be able to tell if a given changelist is successful or unsuccessful.
Thank you
you can fetch the changelist from the perforce plugin env var
you can run the following shell
echo p4.changelist=$P4_CHANGELIST > change.properties
cf. https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Perforce+Plugin
This feature is not yet supported by Jenkins however you can write simple parametrized build and unshelve given CL before build is up and running. This article may be helpful.

Following and adjusting (slightly) based on various posts and articles produces a successful Pipeline run, but does not put files into the branch. I believe the issue is within the Command Line Script, but can't identify what it might be. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

It may be necessary to to perform Git checkout before exporting solution :

It is also possible to use Publish artifacts component :

As it turns out, the solution for me was to add:
HEAD:main
to the end of the git push command, as in:
git push https://{PAT}#dev.azure.com/{organization}/Twilio/_git/VCKeywordHandler HEAD:main
After that all of the folders and files showed up in the repo.
I wanted to know how I can build a Jenkins job right after merging a pull request into the master branch.
I'm very new in this Jenkins/Github thing and wanted to know how/if it's possible to achieve this without using webhooks.

You need to create a CI file. Basically it's a file that tells Jenkins what it can do, how to do it and when to do it. You then create a build job that should be run on master branch and set its firing hook as automatic . That's a tl;dr version that sketches how it's done in general. For specifics you have to check a manual.
I want to enable sonar with git but is it neccesary that first pull the project from git repository using hudson or something else and then sonar will analyse the code periodically on hudson .am I right means my steps :
1.Pull project from git using hudson.
2.Sonar on hudson will analyse the code and send the updates.?
or directly we can use git+sonar how it works ,can anybody guide me to get it work.
Yes, you need first to pull your project from GitHub, and then launch a Sonar analysis on your local copy (Sonar needs the file to exist on the file system to be able to analyse them).
So you can pull your project manually or obvioulsy using a CI server like Jenkins/Hudson.
The good news, yesterday (2015-07-08) SonarQube has launched a Github Pluging, every time a pull request is submitted, the CI system launches a SonarQube preview analysis.

I have setup a Jenkins job to build a project. I'm using email-ext plugin to send out build notifications with the intent of showing who did what and the path to the files changed. But unfortunately I'm not getting anything. I believe the reason why is that under "Source Code Management" I'm setting it to "None". My shell script that I'm using to drive the build is responsible for check-in out a copy of the code based on a CVS tag and run maven to do the build. In the ext-email i'm using the following syntax
${CHANGES_SINCE_LAST_SUCCESS, reverse=true, showPaths=true,
format="\n====\nChanges for Build # %n\n%c\n",
changesFormat="\n[%r] %d %a %m %p\n"}
Same thing with CHANGES: ${CHANGES, showPaths=true}
Is there a way of getting CHANGES and CHANGES_SINCE_LAST_SUCCESS to work if None option is used under Source Code Management?
Thanks for your help folks.
EmailExt plugin gets that info from Jenkins. As Jenkins has access to that info only via its SCM plugins the answer is "no", you can't do it without specifying the SCM option.
There are two things you can do:
(1) Do it by hand. Which with CVS, if I remember correctly, means having a working copy checked out anyway.
(2) Use SCM checkout/update option, but store the working copy on the side without using it in the build. You'll use twice as much disk-space, but nowadays disk-space is not a problem.
By the way, why are you using CVS? SVN, GIT, and Mercurial are all free.
I'm trying to get continuous integration working using Hudson, Maven & Perforce (with an scm poll used to trigger each build)
One of the requirements is to automatically update POM snapshot version numbers following each successful build.
This is trivial using the Maven release plugin, but the act of checking in the newly versioned POMs triggers another build - which continues ad infinitum.
Is there any way of checking in version updates without triggering another build? There doesn't seem to be any way of excluding specific user checkins, specific changelists, or specific files when the scm poll makes the decision to rebuild.
This seems like a basic requirement - been doing it for years using Cruise Control / Ant / Perforce,
Cheers,
Mark
I have been contemplating a move to Hudson, but the inability to exclude specific files from the scm poll would be a deal breaker. Did you also ask this question on the Hudson mailing list?
users <at> hudson <dot> dev <dot> java <dot> net
The only workaround I can see from reading through the docs seems to be triggering builds based on p4 triggers, where you could then programmatically do whatever you want, but that doesn't seem to be a very simple approach.
I don't believe there is any way to configure Hudson to omit part of a Perforce workspace when polling. You may have better luck by setting up two different workspaces - one for build test using a default POM and one for your releases with the auto-updated release POM. The two workspaces could differ on just this one file and modifying the release POM would not trigger a new build.
Check out how to do individual file mapping in a workspace in the P4Guide.
Its possible to update the description of a changelist after it has been submitted, so if you build to a certain changelist number you can then update the description of that changelist to include your build number. This shouldnt trigger a new build.
What is "POM"?
You can have Hudson "Create or Update Label in Perforce" (see near the bottom of your project's configuration.) You could use that along with the BUILD_NUMBER environment variable that Hudson provides, giving you unique build numbers and stamped P4 labels of said build.
I have all tagging, ChangeLog updates, and packaging done by our checked in build code. This allows us to:
Create RC and appropriate tags without starting anther build
Allows us to debug all aspects of our build on any dev machine, not just those with Hudson.
Allows us to exactly recreate how a package, tag, etc was done in at any point in the past.
I had a similar problem checking in compiled src. I was able to find an alternative but i did consider the following.
In hudson specify a child folder of your project to poll. I.e. don't actually have hudson check out your project, just an incidental folder.
Add a shell script to check out your project proper.
Run you normal scripts.
check in your pom. The trick here is that the folder being polled won[t have changed at this point.
Not ideal, but works.
The perforce plugin has had polling masks for a while now. It's in the Advanced section under "View Mask".
Basically, you list a subset of files that you want polling to check for changes. Unfortunately there's no easy way to exclude files, so you'll have to create a list of file specs that specify everything BUT the file you want to exclude. So if the version is contained in a pom.xml, I would need to specify the files and directories that don't contain it.
For example, if your directory structure looked like this:
./pom.xml
./lib/
./src/
You would specify,
//depot/project/lib/...
//depot/project/src/...
as the view mask, and check the checkbox to use it only for polling. There are a few limitations with this feature, such as not being able to use '-' to exclude file specs, but it's still a workable solution for now.
