We use Luntbuild to do our builds. Our project builders are in Maven 2. After each build is done we need to do a lot of cd, mkdir, cp, unzip rm and zip commands. We currently have a shell scrip that does this but we need to wait for a successful build and then manually run that script. Is there a way to set luntbuild to do the post-build actions for us as soon as it gets a successful build.
If so what should the format of the post-build script be? and how do i set it up?
You may want to run your script via the maven invoker plugin. There is also an example on their site.

I recently created an automated process to run multi-step Maven builds for my organization. They now are looking to have the entire process automated using Jenkins. I have been able to successfully create branches, builds, change versions, etc., using Maven commands but I am having difficulty committing the version changes (1.0.1-Snapshot to 1.0.1-E1 for example) with Jenkins. I have tried using basic commands like:
SVN commit "Comments"
However, Jenkins does not seem to know what to do with these command lines in the "Execute Windows Batch File" Post Build option. I simply receive build failures caused by the batch file for "unknown reasons." I see the help desk I am working with has installed the Subversion plugin, but perhaps something else is missing. I know that when I use the command prompt locally I need to use something like this:
"C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin\TortoiseProc.exe"
/command:commit /path: /url:
However, Jenkins is hosted by a third party and I do not have direct access to the servers so I would not be able to implement that kind of path data. So I am now looking to see if I can run this, somehow, purely through Jenkins as my client requests.
Anyone have any success with SVN Commit to update version changes through Jenkins?
Thanks!

Why did you decide to run TortoiseProc via Jenkins? TortoiseProc is not the right tool for this task, use svn.exe client.
TortoiseProc can be used for TortoiseSVN's GUI automation, but this case is completely different to running Jenkins.
My question is that how can I trigger a powershell script when I check-in a code in VS2013 automatically.
see what I have done till now is that as soon as I check in a build is triggered. Separately I have a PS script that I run after the build succeeds, now what i want is that the script should run automatically as soon as the build succeeds, and i do not have to do anything to trigger the sript
If you are using XAML build in tfs, you can specify the path to a custom script in Build Definition--2.Build--5.Advanced--Post-build script path, which will run after the MSBuild activity successfully completes.
If you are using the windows build agent, then you can simply add a PowerShell build step after the build step. See: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/Library/vs/alm/Build/scripts/index#env_vars
I am trying to execute a shell script if either the build pass or fails after post-build in Jenkins. I cannot see this option in post build to execute some shell script except for running a target.
Very easily done with Post build task plugin.
You can also run arbitrary commands using the Groovy Post Build - and that will give you a lot of control over when they run and so forth. We use that to run a 'finger of blame' shell script in the case of failed or unstable builds.
if (manager.build.result.isWorseThan(hudson.model.Result.SUCCESS)) {
item = hudson.model.Hudson.instance.getItem("PROJECTNAMEHERE")
lastStableBuild = item.getLastStableBuild()
lastStableDate = lastStableBuild.getTime()
formattedLastStableDate = lastStableDate.format("MM/dd/yyyy h:mm:ss a")
now = new Date()
formattedNow = now.format("MM/dd/yyyy h:mm:ss a")
command = ['/appframe/jenkins/appframework/fob.ksh', "${formattedLastStableDate}", "${formattedNow}"]
manager.listener.logger.println "FOB Command: ${command}"
manager.listener.logger.println command.execute().text
}
(Our command takes the last stable build date and the current time as parameters so it can go investigate who might have broken the build, but you could run whatever commands you like in a similar fashion)
If I'm reading your question right, you want to run a script in the post build actions part of the build.
I myself use PostBuildScript Plugin for running git clean -fxd after the build has archived artifacts and published test results. My Jenkins slaves have SSD disks, so I do not have the room keep generated files in the workspace.
You should be able to do that with the Batch Task plugin.
Create a batch task in the project.
Add a "Invoke batch tasks" post-build option selecting the same project.
An alternative can also be Post build task plugin.
You'd have to set up the post-build shell script as a separate Jenkins job and trigger it as a post-build step. It looks like you will need to use the Parameterized Trigger Plugin as the standard "Build other projects" option only works if your triggering build is successful.
I have an asp.net solution. I have installed Ms build plugin to build it. The job is successfully building. Now i want to achieve two things using hudson.
1. Once the build completes, I want to publish the solution.
2. How can I attach existing NSIS script for the creation of windows installer. Is there any specific plugin for NSIS in hudson?
Kindly help me.
There is a plugin:
https://github.com/Elbandi/nsis-plugin
Now trying to use / enable / configure it on my company CI server ...
In your MSBuild file you could have a target that calls Exec to invoke MAKENSIS.EXE
I myself found the solution for this problem.
After the Build stage add Execute windows batch command section.
Here we can add the asp.net web application pulishing command.
For instance call:
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_compiler.exe" -v /ABC1 -p "F:\TEST" -f -fixednames "%hudson_home%\source" -c
Here F:\TEST is the target location and %hudson_home%\source is the source location.
After this we can call our NSIS script using makensis.exe, e.g.:
makenis.exe tst.nsi
Done..!!
I have a shell script that runs lcov (test coverage) on an iOS project that I have Hudson. Hudson's copy of this project is derived from a Git repository. The way that I have set up now is that whenever the repo is updated or if someone manually builds the project in Hudson, Hudson would automatically run the app, and then run my shell script after the build is done. lcov can only be run after the app is not only built, but automatically run with some functional test tools. So, I cannot run the shell script as part of the build process, through XCode. It must be run after the app finishes building and running.
However, I would like to use this project in multiple Hudson jobs. Unfortunately, in each Hudson job, the iOS project is named differently. I would like to refer to the build path with some sort of environmental variable, but I don't know how to. Does anyone have any tips as to how to find that?
If I understand you correctly this is really a Hudson question. You can set "global variables" in your Hudson config and then invoke shell scripts, batch files, ant builds etc. You can also set them dynamically on each invocation of your Hudson job. Not sure exactly how to help you in your specific environment without more info.
