jenkins Unable to find build script at C:/

[praneeth]

I am using Jenkins and Ant to run my selenium tests. It works fine when I run them on my local machine. Now I have a Jenkins server which is on a different location and I have to run my tests on that server. when I tried to run the tests on that server Its is failing because it couldn't find the build.xml file. can you please let me know how can I change the home directory path? The home directory path in the server was set to /var/lib/jenkin   and my build.xml is in c:/ drive of my machine the error it is showing is Started by user :**** Building in workspace /var/lib/jenkins/jobs/moveon4 java tests/workspace FATAL: Unable to find build script at C:\selenium tests for move\movetests1\build.xml Build step 'Invoke Ant' marked build as failure Finished: FAILURE Regards praneeth

You should place your selenium tests in a source control system (Git, Subversion, etc.) either on a hosted provider (like github.com or code.google.com) or hosted on your own machine (Windows or Linux server running the version control software).  Then checkout from that source control system and run your tests from the workspace directory (not from C:\).

That will allow you to grow your tests to run on multiple machines in parallel, to run multiple tests concurrently, and many other positives.

Hi Mark ,

I have placed the selenium tests in the subversion..but still I am getting this error. My buid.xml file is at https:/svn.qsu-dev.com/svn/moveon4-javabrowsertests/trunk/moveon4tests1  but you can see in the error that it is automatically pointing to /var/lib/jenkins/jobs/moveon4/workspace..it is the default home drirectory ..how can i change it?

hi,

 

i'm trying to create a free-style job with a Maven step.

My problem is the folowing :

I when running the maven command : mvn -o -s toto/settings.xml install

The settings.xml contains the line :

<settings><localrepository>toto/repository</localrepository></settings>

 

My workspace structure :

jenkins/workspace/JOB/toto/settings.xml

jenkins/workspace/JOB/toto/repository

jenkins/workspace/JOB/toto/pom.xml

jenkins/workspace/JOB/toto/module....

 

Jenkins build is failed :

[INFO] Building PORTAIL ASSURES CORE
[INFO]    task-segment: [install]

Now, if i use the same job with the maven command : mvn -o -s settings.xml install

The settings.xml contain the line :

<settings><localrepository>repository</localrepository></settings>

and the workspace structure :

jenkins/workspace/JOB/settings.xml

jenkins/workspace/JOB/repository

jenkins/workspace/JOB/toto/pom.xml

jenkins/workspace/JOB/toto/module....

 

the Jenkins job is successfull

 

Do you know why jenkins does not success when the "repository" and "settings" file are not in the root workspace directory ?

do you kwon how can i fix the build with the first architecture ?

 

Thank for helping

 

Best regard.

Jenkins has a built-in limitation: It must check out your source tree to local disk before it is able to access files in version control server.

Go to job configuration. Then, under "Source Code Management", choose Subversion.

In the Repository URL type https://svn.qsu-dev.com/svn/moveon4-javabrowsertests/trunk/moveon4tests1

Provide a way to authenticate Jenkins to your Subversion server, if Jenkins prompts you to do it.

Did you know that usually URLs have two slashes in the beginning? "https://SERVERNAME" vs. "https:/SERVERNAME". Some software might be picky and not work correctly if you omit the 2nd slash.
