Quick start guide for Gerrit + Jenkins with checks

[johann...@gmail.com]

Hi,

Is there a document describing how to setup Jenkins to build changes uploaded in Gerrit using the checks plugin?

I found some fragments here and there, but it is hard to know if it is old or new information.

Regards

Johannes

I was planning a few months ago to write a full tutorial, but then the checks plugin was deprecated [1].

There is a brand-new Checks API [2] in Gerrit since v3.4, but we haven’t yet developed an implementation for Jenkins at the moment.

I was under the same impression, but then I was confused as I saw in [2] that "Gerrit Checks Plugin" uses the "Checks API" :)

Ok, so at gerrit-review.googlesource.com/gerrit-ci.gerritforge.com you still use the "Gerrit Checks Plugin" together with the Jenkins "Gerrit Code Review" plugin (which is deprecated)?

Agreed, possibly should it be mentioned that the Checks plugin is deprecated in [2]?

Yes, we still use the Checks plugin, which is deprecated. I have actually issues at times, but the Google guys have been very cooperative in fixing them even if the plugin is deprecated.

I am looking forward to work on a new Jenkins plugin integrated with the Checks API, which is most likely going to integrated with the “Gerrit Code Review plugin for Jenkins” (NOT deprecated, see [3]).

I can help writing the new plugin code. I "just" need the correct HTTP URLs for fetching the data per change. :-)

Happy to cooperate on it :-) I’ll schedule a session for next week, so we can join forces on that.

Is there any plan yet for a Jenkins plugin to use the new Checks API and UI? We would like to start providing info from our Jenkins builds to Gerrit and would prefer to use the new solution rather than the older deprecated solution.

Hi Phil,

At the moment there is still no such plugin, but I would still like to write one. I am leaving for a two weeks vacation, but I would be happy to collaborate in May/June on writing such a plugin. I can basically write all the frontend typescript code, set up a repo and a BUILD, etc. What I need as input is which HTTP requests to Jenkins should be made, how this should be configured and how the results should be parsed and converted into checks.ts types.

Dear all, any update on this effort?

During the hackathon I implemented a firsts version of a plugin for Jenkins that exposes a REST API allowing to search for Runs that work on a Gerrit patchset and also adapted the checks-jenkins plugin to use it. This allowed for more efficient fetching of information used by the Checks API. I am currently in the process of releasing this Jenkins plugin and am working on the open review items by the Jenkins maintainers. The lucene-search plugin which is used to provide an index has some issues however. I am planning to contribute fixes but can't say anything on how long this will take to be released. I will post an email to the mailing list as soon as the plugin is released.
