Hi my project on github looks like :
Backend
gateway-server
authorization-server
services
restaurant-service
Mobile
Web
I tried to connect Jenkins to gateway-server.
If I have Jenkinsfile on main folder(on repo) it is work.
I tried path /Backend/gateway-server, /Backend/gateway-server/, Backend/gateway-server, Backend/gateway-server and no one work.
Try first gateway-server, meaning a path Within the currently checked-out repository (Backend)
That might be enough to sparse-checkout that single folder.

I am using gitlab as repository and want to push my code on ec2 whenever any commit is done on gitlab. The gitlab CD/CI documentation states that I have to add a file .gitlab-ci.yml at the root directory of my repo. This is actually a problem for me because, I want project repo to have only code and not any configuration related info like build and deploy etc. Also when anybody clones the repo, they would have access to location where my code is pushed/deployed on ec2. Is there any work around for this problem ?
You'll need to use a gitlab-ci.yml filke to deploy your application. The file provides instructions and a pipeline "infrastructure" which, if properly configured, will build, test and automatically deploy your code.
If you are worried about leaking credentials, you should use the built-in instance variables to mask your important bits, like a "$SERVERNAME" or "$DB_PASSWORD" for instance.
Lastly, you can use the power of gitignore, in order to not publish all of your credentials or sensitive bits to your projects' servers or instances.
I'm the only developer in a team and will be working on a private project that doesn't need to be placed on the Github or somewhere else online. My entire project will be located in one of my local machine folders. Is this possible to create a project in TeamCity that points to my local folder? I'm using TC version 10. When I navigate to Create Project i only see Manually, Github, URL Repository and BitBucket Cloud Repository. Logically thinking I went to set up the project Manually, but there is a field Project ID which seems like require some sort of URL. Just curious if this ever possible with Team City? Thanks.
Yes, it is possible.
Choose git as a type of repository and in mandatory field Fetch URL specify local path: /path/to/repository.
Click Test connection to make sure Teamcity is able to fetch data.
You won't be able to configure triggers against this repository, it is still open issue: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/TW-12162
See screenshot .
with TC 2017.2.2 from URL Repository you can just give the path
file:///home/user/dirOfProject
I want to create automatic upload to ftp, using 'FTP Upload' runner, with different build configuration, which depends on successfull build of main configuration. But the thing is I don't know the pattern. As for now path looks like this:
C:\ProgramData\JetBrains\TeamCity\system\artifacts\<project_name>\<build config name>\528
What variable contains this last number?
The problem was with bad description of my problem, more definiteve one:
I have to store artifacts on FTP. FTP is on the same machine as TC server and agent (don't ask me why). So I have to somehow grab artifacts and put them into ftp://"project"/msi and ftp://"project"/nuget, depending on build configuration. I've tried: Grabbing artifacts directly - from folder shown in the initial post, idea failed.
The solution is to create another build configuration and set Artifact dependencies, this makes artifacts reachable from new build configuration, which allows to use FTP Upload runner.
Thanks everyone!
I am trying to use bamboo to manage my release procedure and just wondering if this is feasible:
The developer finished the integration test at local environment
The developer create a specific tag, e.g. "UAT_1.0.0" and pushed the tag to bitbucket
Bamboo sensed that there is an new tag "UAT_1.0.0" has been created on bitbucket and then start the building process; after that it will deploy the war file to the UAT server
Tester signed off the UAT and created a tag "REL_1.0.0" and pushed the tag to bitbucket
Bamboo sensed the new tag "REL_1.0.0" and start the building process. After build finished, it deploy the war file to the PROD server
It looks like the "Repository triggers the build when changes are committed" is to best way to implement the process. But I can't find out the way to move any further. Any idea?
Yes you can do this (Only if you can deploy custom plugins to it).
You need to build custom triggers as plugins for bamboo.
Get/Install the SDK
Create a plugin. See here.
If you have access to bamboo's source code I suggest you look into classes DependencyTriggerReason, InitialbuildTriggerReason, ScheduledTriggerReason. You need to create a class implementing TriggerReason. You should start with this tutorial if you are new to developing bamboo plugins.
Deploy it to bamboo.
A bit late but... I found a solution. You need to put a "negative" regular expression in the "Exclude changesets" section in the repository configuration, that include the word that you want.
The regular expression is like :
^(?!.test).$
like that: repository configuration
with this, bamboo will only build commits with this word in the message.
Now, if your commit is like "commit for test", bamboo will build it
I have small open-source projects hosted on Github which I want to make available for others via Maven. I have a small webspace where I can host static files. How can I create a repo? Also, I would want to remove old snapshots from there if possible.
Standard maven repository implementations are almost all Tomcat web apps. Each one of them should have a static repository, just as your local repository. The webapp serves to the purpose of searching and management of the artifacts stored in that static repository.
If you want to host the repository with static web access only, you'll have to perform the management manually and provide a static manually generated html page that contains GAV coordinates of all artifacts in the repo. No other user but you could ever upload to the repository unless you give your password or enable anonymous FTP acces.
If maven doesn't try to upload anything to the repo until the deploy phase then this approach is still partly usable, since running a mvn clean deploy should fail.
You can check if is it doable like this (I suppose that you have that projects in your local repo):
upload your local repoistory folder to a URL
for the purpose of testing mirror your central repo to that URL
try to build your project with dependencies from your repo
Open your settings.xml file and under <mirrors> node add:
<mirror>
<url>http://your/url/repo</url>
<mirrorOf>*</mirrorOf>
</mirror>
and see if mvn clean install suceeds. Please feedback.
In this SO answer I have outlined the way I set up my OSS projects which are all hosted in Github. There are actually a number of free services out there you could you when you would like to run an OSS project.
I would recommend publishing to Maven Central, if your plugin is well-tested and expected to bring other people benefits as well. You can use CloudBee's BuildHive as a free Jenkins CI.
A static repo works great, per my experience.
I scp'd up my local repository into a static apache server. Legit repo. Not as easy to maintain as a real repo of course, but quite a bit cheaper if you've already got a plain vanilla web host.
Other than setting the permissions properly (same as required for you to browse the folders), it was a pretty painless procedure.
The only two things I did to make it more reasonable were
1 - Wrote a script to "rm -rf ...." on most of the contents of my local repo so that the only thing I am deploying is those few artifacts that are not available in the general repos.
2 - Tarred it up first before scping to my web host.
Hope this helps.
The guy below did something similar, only using FTP which saves him a lot of hand work if he updates his binaries very often.

I think I know how to do it now. I'm using mvn deploy now to create a local repository on the file system and then I upload it to the webserver. If I'm not wrong, there doesn't even need to be a file listing.
The command I'm using is:
mvn deploy -DaltDeploymentRepository=local::default::file:./repo
This creates/updates the local repository automatically, so the repo can be synced with a server.
