We have jenkins Windows 10 CI builder.
Our project has submodule, which I want to "git submodule update --init --recursive".
This command is called from cmake script, but even if one enables submodule processing the error will be the same:
C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64/libexec/git-core\git-submodule cannot be used without a working tree.
Current setup copies all files of project from Ubuntu jenkins is run on( the setup is not known for sure and I started studying Jenkins from bottom ) and puts them into Windows CI builder into Pull_Request_Builder_Winx64 folder.
Tried to run git manually from this folder: result is the same
Tried running update manually on the same project that is downloaded with git clone, it works.
Please help find the source of the issue, thanks in advance
The issue was the symlink in the path to workspace( C:/jenkins/workspace, "workspace" is symlink here that points to R:/workspace )
Solution: Changed remote root directory in jenkins node configuration, so it contains no symlinks( new path: R:/jenkins, path to workspace will be R:/jenkins/workspace )

I have a source code using which I want to test some processes through Jenkins.For that I've installed Jenkins and plugins as well. But I do not have internet access to my machine so I have my source code in a local folder instead of Git.
Please help me to configure Jenkins without git.
Thanks a ton in advance.
in the build steps, you can do something like
cd C:\users\user\Documents\Projects\
// build here
if you're in a different directory, you need to do:
cd D:\Projects
D:
// build here
But deleting the workspace option won't work now. since your artifacts will be stored in the current directory and the workspace is a different directory. you can add an additional step, in this case, to clean up things or you can change the workspace from the advanced option in the general tab.
I am doing the following steps:
dotnet restore
dotnet publish
octopusDeploy: Push packages
The second step creates a 'published-app' folder and the third step is meant to take that and create a .zip file and send it to the Octopus server.
The third step is connecting to the Octopus server but gives the error:
Running command: octo.exe push --server http://server.com/ --apikey SECRET
Pushing packages to Octopus server
Please specify a package to push
I am following this https://stackoverflow.com/a/38927027 so my third step has:
%teamcity.build.workingDir%/published-app/**/* => App.zip
Any ideas why the zip file is not being created?
Not sure if you ever got this working for yourself, however just in case it helps anyone we recently came across the same issue deploying an AspNetCore 2.0 web application running on net471 being built by TeamCity 2017.1.4 (build 47070).
After some tinkering I noticed that the "OctopusDeploy: Create and Push Packages" build step ran at our git checkout root directory, so I ending up having to use the following values for the "Package path patterns"
%ProjectDirectory%/published-app/**/* => %ProjectName%.%GitVersion.NuGetVersion%.zip
NB: %ProjectDirectory%, %ProjectName% and %GitVersion.NuGetVersion% are build parameters we have manually defined elsewhere in the build process that TeamCity can replace. %ProjectDirectory% is simply the application's source directory relative to the root of the git checkout i.e. WebApplication1 so the full path would be <full checkout path>/WebApplication1
Another gotcha that we experienced was that at the time of writing the combination of TeamCity and octo.exe (from Octopus.TeamCity v4.15.10) didn't like creating nupkg files, so make sure you try to produce a ".zip" file. In the error instances we would receive the following error:
Error from Octo.exe: Cannot run program "C:\BuildAgent\temp\buildTmp\octo-temp\3.0\octo.exe" (in directory "C:\BuildAgent\work\4e62985fa616fa1f"): CreateProcess error=206, The filename or extension is too long
What I have done :
I have Jenkins set up on my Ubuntu in :
/var/lib/jenkins/
I have a job, that runs every 45 minutes that does a hg pull and hg update --clean default
from my bitbucket repository.So this is running fine.I have a folder
/var/lib/jenkins/jobs/Code Deployement
which contains the latest updated code from my repository.
Problem :
However, I want to access my updated code from
/var/www/html/[project-name]
Query :
Is there anyway i can make jenkins job update this folder instead of the /var/lib/jenkins/Code Deployment folder ? I certainly dont want to make /var/www/html/[project-name] as my jenkins home folder.
How can I achieve what I described above.Will I have to copy the folder from the jobs folder to my desired location after every time the job runs ? Please help me out with the solution,I'am a beginner with automated deployment using Jenkins.
Thank you.
Under "Advanced" you can explicitly choose a working directory for the projects without changing the Jenkins home directory. Check the "Use custom workspace" box and set the directory that Jenkins will pull the code to and build in.
In our setup we wait for the build process to complete in the working directory and add a build step for Jenkins to copy (most) of the files out to the directory that serves up the website. We had issues with file locking preventing the build process if someone (e.g. the testers) were using the site.
One simple way to do it is to create a symlink under /var/www/html/ that points to your code directory, e.g.:
sudo ln -s /var/lib/jenkins/jobs/"Code Deployement" /var/www/html/[project-name]
I am having an eclipse project created on Ubuntu, in which all the JARs that I am using, are located in a folder /home/xyz/AllJARs. Here the /home is the system home folder. The project as well as the AllJARs folder is git version controlled on a central git server.
So, all the paths to these JARs in the project's build path are /home/xyz/AllJARs. When I'm cloning the project repo and the AllJARs repo on a Windows machine, I'm shown errors related to build path since it can't find the path /home/xyz/AllJARs.
How can I manage this situation where I can have external JAR files in build paths which can work on Ubuntu as well as on a Windows machine? Thanks in advance.
You have two easy options:
use relative paths: for example, put the JAR folder in the folder above your project, then you can set the JARs' paths to ../AllJARs/
put JARs into project: you can also just put the JARs into the project folder; if you've set them up as "External JARs" in project settings, you'll have to remove them from that list, and re-add them with "Add JARs". Eclipse will then look for them locally in the project folder. If you don't want to commit the JARs to the git repo (size and/or permission being a problem), you can just copy them into the Project folder after cloning. While they're not there, you'll be shown a warning, but once Eclipse can find them, everything's fine.
I have a project that when built from my machine everything runs smoothly. However, when I push my changes and try to generate the build using jenkins, I'm getting the library not found error message.
This is weird because if I login into the jenkins server and I try to do a manual build, everything works as expected, perfect. It's only when I build from withing jenkins that my build is failing.
I'm assuming LIBRARY_NAME as the name of whatever library, in my case is an internal static library.
Any suggestions?
EDIT:
I've setup: Library Search Headers, Other Linker Flags, Target Dependencies, Proper Architectures
I wrestled with this for three weeks until I accidentally stumbled onto this with the help of a coworker. Basically, you must be sure that the path structure created in your repository is replicated in the .jenkins workspace. To do this just be sure that in your project/job configuration in jenkins the Source Code Management > Subversion > Repository URL field must be at the same level as specified in jenkins in your script or Build > Execute Shell > Command field. So here are my settings as an example:
above Jenkins URL = https://myDuncwa.local/duncwa-repo
above Jenkins Build = "cd $WORKSPACE/mobileapps/projects/PictureBoard/trunk/PictureBoard" and line 2 "xcodebuild -project PictureBoard.xcodeproj" no quotes.
above Subversion URL repository = https://myDuncwa.local/duncwa-repo
This will cause the directory structure mobileapps/projects/PictureBoard in my repository to replicated in the .jenkins/jobs/PictureBoard/workspace/mobileapps/projects/PictureBoard directory that is created automatically by jenkins. Note: 1) This will copy the entire repository so be prepared to change this later and 2) .jenkins is a hidden directory created by the install in the installing user's home directory or "~/"
