Administration interface

Quick start

  • Install drush 7+ globally or configure the path to Drush on http://<jenkins-server>/configure
  • Install Checkstyle, JUnit and PHP Built-in Web Server
  • Create a local database: CREATE DATABASE db;
  • Create a Freestyle project that looks like this, or create a Drupal project
  • Under 'Build a Drupal instance', update the database URL

Usage

1. Create Local Database

  • CREATE DATABASE db;

2. Install drush 7+

  • git clone https://github.com/drush-ops/drush.git /var/lib/jenkins/tools/drush
  • cd /var/lib/jenkins/tools/drush
  • git checkout tags/7.0.0-rc2
  • curl -sSL https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
  • php composer.phar install
  • Go to http://<jenkins-server>/configure
  • Under 'Drush installations', set 'Path to Drush home' to /var/lib/jenkins/tools/drush

3. Create project

Create a new 'Freestyle' project.

Alternatively you may create a 'Drupal' project which generates a ready-to-use job to review code and run tests on a vanilla Drupal core. If you use this option then you may skip most of the instrutions below: just update the database URL and possibly set up a web server.

4. Configure Source Code Management

Configure the Source Code Management section to fetch a full Drupal code base. Here are a few options:

  1. If you just want to run tests on a Drupal core, you may use Git:
    • Repository: http://git.drupal.org/project/drupal.git
    • Branch Specifier: tags/7.38
  2. If your own code repository includes a Drupal core, then just pull it
  3. If it does not, then you may combine your own repo with the drupal.org repo using Multiple SCMs
  4. Alternatively you may use a Drush Makefile source

By default Jenkins pulls code into the workspace root but you might want to put Drupal into a subdirectory to keep things clean (e.g. $WORKSPACE/drupal):

  • If using Git: set option 'Additional Behaviours / Check out to a sub-directory' to drupal
  • If using Subversion: set option 'Local module directory' to drupal
  • If using a Drush Makefile: set option 'Drupal root directory' to drupal

Note that a Drush Makefile source will fetch the code every time a new build runs. Using a regular source like Git or Subversion is probably more efficient.

Also only Drupal 7 code is supported.

5. Configure Local Web Server

Some tests fail if Drupal does not run behind a web server. Here are a couple of solutions:

  • Either install PHP Built-in Web Server (requires PHP >= 5.4.0) e.g.:
    • Port: 8000
    • Host: localhost
    • Document root: drupal (or leave empty if the Drupal root is the workspace root)
  • Or install Apache locally and make it point at the Drupal root (e.g. /var/lib/jenkins/jobs/myproject/workspace/drupal)

6. Configure Builds

Add build steps:

  • 'Build a Drupal instance'
  • 'Review code on Drupal'
  • 'Run tests on Drupal'

The default values should work though you need to update a few things:

  • Update the database URL in step 'Build a Drupal instance' to point at your database
  • If you have checked out Drupal into a subdirectory (e.g. drupal) then update the Drupal root directory of every step accordingly ; otherwise, just leave it empty
  • The URI of step Run tests on Drupal should match what you have configured on your webserver (e.g. http://localhost:8000)

Note that if your code base does not include a copy of the Coder module, then step Review code on Drupal will automatically download it into $DRUPAL/modules/.

7. Plot results

Plot Code Review results using Checkstyle:

  • Create a post-build action 'Publish Checkstyle analysis results'
  • If the logs directory for the code review is logs_codereview then set 'Checkstyle results' to logs_codereview/**
  • You might want to set the unstable threshold to 0 normal warning, and the failed threshold to 0 high warning

Plot Test results using JUnit:

  • Create a post-build action 'Publish JUnit test result report'
  • If the logs directory for the tests is logs_tests then set 'Test report XMLs' to logs_tests/**

8. Build the Project

  • Click on 'Build Now': Jenkins should start reviewing and testing the code base
  • After a few builds complete, trend graphs should show up
