How can i execute shell scripts from Jenkins ?

[Kendiol]

Hello everyone,

I'm a complete newbie to Jenkins.
I'm trying to get Jenkins to monitor the execution of my shell script
so i that i don't have to launch them manually each time but i can't
figure out how to do it.
I found out about the "monitor external job" option but i can't
configure it correctly.
I know that Jenkins can understand Shell script exit code so this is
what i did :

test1(){
ls /home/user1 | grep $2
case $? in
0) msg_error 0 "Okay."
;;
*) msg_error 2 "Error."
;;
esac
}


It's a simplified version of my functions.
I execute them manually but i want to launch them from Jenkins with
arguments and get the results of course.
Can this be done ?

Thanks.

Create a Jenkins job, ( i created a free-style software project)
In the configuration of that job there is a "Build" section with "Add
build step" pulldown.
Add a "Execute Shell" step, and insert your code.

Hope this helps!

Hi,

Also you can define parametrized build.
These parameters will appear as env var.
More explanation here : https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Parameterized+Build

Best regards,

Vincent

Thanks guys, so to execute my script I simply put ./myscript as the
command of the FreeStyle Build and i set the pamaeters to call my
functions.

Hi Derek Brown,

Can i directly call my .sh file into build section.

Thanks

Mohan,

Yes of course you can do that. Simply ad the shell script file name in the 'Execute Shell' step as explained by Derek. Remember that you've give the path of your file relative to your workspace directory. Suppose your worskapce dir is 'build-dev' and the shell script 'patch.sh' is located in a dir 'scripts' under the workspace. Then you'll have to give it's path as:

./scripts/patch.sh

And you're good to go.

Cheers,
Siddhesh

can you tell me why Jenkins would get a different result from the  shell scripts  alone?

[Eric Pyle]

Typically such problems are because the shell script is tested under a different user account than the one used by Jenkins. This may result in commands not being found due to different $PATH settings or permission errors because of different user permissions. It's hard to be more specific without knowing more about the errors you are seeing.
