I am trying to use this plugin. Has this plugin been written with the intention that the job is executed on the server itself and not a slave machine. The plugin fails while copying clang reports. Error Message - "Unable to copy Clan scan-build output to build archive folder".

I'm not very clear on how to setup your plugin using a slave mac machine.  For instance, I have jenkins running on Linux and it connects to a mac machine as node (slave).   The plugin is forcing me to add the installation directory of the build in the Configure System area of Jenkins (if i tried to add at the node level it only allows drop-down selection of already added clang installations before being able to override main configuration of clang installation).  The problem is that it is looking for the location of the clang build on the Jenkins server not on the mac slave, thus erroring out because it cannot find the location of the "scan-build".  Am I missing something obvious here?  Thanks for any help on this. 

Would anyone able to provide an example of how to configure the parameters required by Clang Scan-Build, please? I've spent quite some time researching what information it wants, and now that it appears to be running okay, I get the following error message: "Could not locate a unique scan-build output folder in: Jenkins/build_agent/workspace/MyTestApp/clangScanBuildReports" (-:

I'm not confident that my parameters are correct. Here's what I've got so far:

• Target: (the name of my iPhone app) "MyTestApp"
• Xcode 4 workspace: (blank)
• Xcode 4 scheme: (blank)
• Target SDK: "iphonesimulator"
• Clan scan-build configuration (defined under Jenkins Configure System): "Clang 258"
• Build Configuration: "Debug"Xcode project sub-path: (blank)

This is what I get at the end of my build log (Clang Scan-Build is the final step):

scan-build: 1 bugs found.
scan-build: Run 'scan-view /var/folders/q3/3zqvzkrs17x5gq0cpj23j0gr0000gn/T/scan-build-2011-12-22-1' to examine bug reports.

The plugin is OK -- easy to set up.  However, there appear to be some bugs in the scan-build tool, and not having the ability to explicitly pass options to the tool via the plugin is a severe limitation.  Please upgrade the plugin to allow configuration flags to be set in the job config and passed directly to the scan-build tool.

Seems it is not compatiple with xcodebuild 4.3, specifically, the activetarget option:

Defining a target seems to work, sort of, now I am having trouble with another flag, this time on the clang invocation:

clang: error: unsupported option '--serialize-diagnostics'

Works fine for small projects but I get an out of memory exception on a bigger one with about 120 classes

I increased memory but it didn't help

It crashes when "Publishing Clang scan-build results"

"Could not locate a unique scan-build output folder" for me too.

Any ideas?

I have 2 problems with Jenkins running Clang plugin:

1/ The generated CLANG report cannot be accessed: http://localhost:8080/job/TestJenkinsApp/97/clangScanBuildBugs/browse/report-WPNzCd.html#EndPath (Status Code 404)

Build is ok.
Clang is executed with this generated command line:/Users/Shared/Jenkins/CLANG/checker-272/scan-build -k -v -v -o /Users/Shared/Jenkins/Home/workspace/TestJenkinsApp/clangScanBuildReports -o clangScanBuildReports xcodebuild -target TestJenkinsApp -configuration Release -sdk iphoneos clean build_> How can I modify my settings to be able to display the details of my scan results?_

2/ My sample App has 2 classes in my projet "TestJenkinsApp":

- root / AppDelegate
- root / TestJenkinsApp / ViewController

note: "root" is the folder containing the xcodeproj file.
> Why Clang only reports errors in AppDelegate even though there are errors in TestJenkinsApp/ViewController too ?

Thanks

Hi All,

Can any one give example how configure Jenkins to execute Clang Scan Step.

Here is how it looks like
& this is the error I get

I use Jenkins ver. 1.559    &    Xcode Version 5.1.1 (5B1008)     & the builds were going successfully before adding the clang step.

Trying to get this plugin to work in a multi-configuration job but none of the Build-step/Post-build step shows up. Shouldn't it be possible to use it in a multi configuration job? Perhaps I'm just missing something obvious...

By the way. It is possible to select those steps in a freestyle job....

Regards

Thank you for providing this plugin.  It is very useful and I found it very easy to get it working.  I have a feature request.  I would like to have a setting added so I can choose the location of the clangScanBuildReports.  All other post build plugins I use allow for this and being restricted to locating at the root of the workspace complicates our setup quite a bit.  Thanks!
