I'd like to be able to run by Jenkins a series of test from Selenium. I've see a lot of topic about the subject but it's not clear to me.
Do I need to call maven to run the project or can I directly call Testng ?
Also do I need with Jenkins to call my project using maven or using Ant ?
What is the best practice. Is there specific plugin that I need.

You can call testng through maven or ant. There is no direct runner plugin for Jenkins.

You might need the TestNG plugin to show the results inside Jenkins, but it is optional. Best practice is to use maven or ant. You can find a nice ant example here
You can use run TestNG scripts in Jenkins with or without Maven. Maven as a build tool, in my opinion, looks more robust and gives you more flexibility than Ant.
To run pure TestNg script in Jenkins, enter the following in the 'build' section:
D:>java -cp "Pathtolibfolder\lib\*;Pathtobinfolder\bin" org.testng.TestNG testng.xml
Click on Save button.
Note: The actual path of lib and bin folder need to add the in above
command.
After saving the command, Jenkins will build project in predefined
time, and this command will run using TestNG.
The result will be stored in custom report HTML file that can be sent via
email with a small Jenkins configuration

I would like to run Junit tests via maven command like having the test result
with the same graphical message that I can see using Eclipse IDE.
For example, if I run Junit test via Eclipse I can see this tree image:
But, if I run the same tests via maven command line, I can see only the grand total result without details.
For example:
There is a way to run maven command line tests and receive the test result like Eclipse IDE?
I use surefire plugin on my project.
Thanks in advance.
I am running a set of tests using junit and I have created a maven project for it. I use the surefire plugin to run the tests. I wanted to package this project as a self executable jar for the sake of convenience.So I placed all of test classes in the src/main/java directory as recommended for using the maven shade plugin for generating an uber jar. I created a class with a main method and use maven invoker to execute my tests.
The tests get executed perfectly when I use my ide to run the main method. However, after I package it as a jar , the invoker is unable to locate the pom.xml. If I place a copy of the pom.xml in the same directory as the jar, maven is invoked but it is unable to execute the tests as surefire is unable to locate the tests.
I would love to know if there is a solution for this or if there is a better approach towards trying to achieve my goal.
#khmarbaise and everyone else trying to help me , let me describe my scenario a little more in detail.
Lets take any api , for example , lastfm api, I would be writing classes for each api end point and every method in each class would be a test. I use junit to execute the tests. I use a junit wrapper called serenity bdd that helps me structure my tests and generate aggregate reports. The maven goal serenity:aggregate would generate an aggregated report of all tests. I am using the maven invoker to run tests using surefire plugin and then aggregate the tests using serenity. In my eclipse project I simply create a maven run configuration and provide the maven goals. Or else I would use the terminal to run maven from my project base directory.
Apart from my class file, I have several resources, like csv files which are inputs for parametric tests a log folder where all log files that are generated get saved and other sample files for testing file upload apis. I felt that it would be simple to package all of this as a jar and let my developers add this jar as a dependency and run a simple script which runs the jar each time they create and deploy a build. Getting the pom file for invoking maven was trivial in case of eclipse or the command line but not so straight forward when its inside of a package.
I'm trying to move an existing ANT build script (build.xml) into Cloudbees for CI using Jenkins. I setup the project repository using GitHub. The build pulls the repository into the Cloudbees Workspace successfully, but then fails with this message.
Parsing POMs
ERROR: No such file /scratch/jenkins/workspace/project/pom.xml
Perhaps you need to specify the correct POM file path in the project configuration?
I'm not too familiar with this, but from what I can tell (thanks Google) it's because Cloudbees uses Maven instead of ANT. Is there a way that I can change Jenkins to run the ANT build script instead of using Maven? Or a simple way to execute my ANT scripts from Maven? Any help here would be appreciated!
Thanks
You do not need a Maven POM file if your project is Ant-based.
It sounds like you created a Maven job in Jenkins. Delete it and create a free-style job instead, then (as #thekbb says) click Add build step and select Invoke Ant and configure as needed.
ant support is provided by teh ant plugin, I think you get this automatically when installing jenkins. In your jenkins job, add a build step of type 'Invoke Ant' and provide the target.
I have maven project that is built by Jenkins-CI.
How to generate and publish JavaDoc on Jenkins?
Make sure Jenkins javadoc plugin is installed.
Go to http://yourjenkinsserver.com/jenkins/pluginManager/installed to see list of intalled plugins.
Plugin page https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Javadoc+Plugin
Configure Jenkins job:
In Build section, Goals and options line add:
javadoc:javadoc
That's all. No need to change pom.xml
The simplest thing to do is to create a separate task that runs thr javadoc command, and which runs after the compile task. You pass it the input and output directories.
I would run a separate tomcat for your CI website - it's easier.
I am using 1.467 and Jenkins JDepend plugin 1.2.3.
When I build, it generates the JDepend report.
No problem.
THe problem is that I get reports on classes like:
org.apache.commons.fileupload
org.hibernate.ejb
Packages report on classes that I didn't write.
How I configure this so that it JDepend only run on classes that I write?
com.mycompany.myproject
for example.
Thanks.
JDepend Maven Plugin looks quite old and seems to be in beta. It does not support a way to exclude packages/classes. I assume jenkins JDepend Plugin uses the information from this to generate the report.
JDepend itself provides options to include/exclude classes/packages from analysis. JDepend ant task provides support for this as well.
One possibility would be to use jdepend ant task using maven antrun plugin (or directly invoke jdepend using maven exec plugin) to do the analysis and specify the report file to jenkins plugin for reporting.
i got it to work by setting the goal to "jdepend:generate" and setting the Pre-generated JDepend file to "target/jdepend-report.xml"
