Testing system Groovy scripts locally?

[Dylan Cali]

Hello,

I have some system groovy scripts which I save in source control and would like to test locally.  I'm having some trouble getting all the dependencies to resolve though.  I'm using Gradle and tried simply "shotgunning" every conceivable dependency, from jenkins-core to each plugin I'm using (appending '@jar' to the maven descriptors), but I haven't been able to get it to work.

Before I continue banging my head against the wall, I wanted to first check if there's a right/clean way to compile and test system scripts locally.

Thanks

Ha, just as I post that I was able to get it to work by adding one
more dependency, javax.servlet-api. But the question still stands if
there's a more elegant way then the brute force approach I've gone
with.

Thanks

That's similar to what I've done in the past,

Another approach would be to create an empty plugin project and add your scripts and plugin dependencies to that. Then you can use the jenkins unit test harness for writing your tests and hpi:run for manual testing.

/B

Thanks
