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

Dependencies

• drush 7+
• SCM API
• Checkstyle, JUnit and PHP Built-in Web Server (or Apache) are not required but are relevant
