CI server setup

[Dan]

Hi,

I'm investigating the options for setting up a ci server and would be grateful if anyone could share their experiences. Our needs are for a ci server that does mxunit unit testing. Integrating selenium testing in the same process would be a bonus.

I believe that either Hudson or Bamboo are my options for a CI environment. What do the people here use and is one better than the other or is it just down to personal preference ? Am I right in saying that I still need to write ANT scripts regardless of my Hudson/Bamboo choice?

Can I automate selenium testing with a ant script also?

Thanks.

There is a series of entries in the wiki on setting up mxunit with Jenkins. They step you through the entire process and are very good.

Hey Dan,

Here's a good start: http://wiki.mxunit.org/display/default/Automation+with+Jenkins+Continuous+Integration+Server

I use Jenkins. I spent months with Bamboo... I hope to never do so again. For me, Jenkins was far more configurable, easier to use, and has a tremendous plugin ecosystem.

yes, you're going to write Ant scripts (or some other kind of automating script... gradle, etc). mxunit ships with a solid sample to get you started. See mxunit/samples/build.xml

yes, you can automate selenium testing with an ant script. If you're writing cfselenium tests, they're essentially like any other test and you'll invoke them with the mxunit ant task just like you would a unit test.
