LabVIEW & Jenkins Batch File Build Process - Getting Started

Ryan_S — Fri, 04 Sep 2015 23:22:53 GMT

This document is meant as a starting guide to using the batch file process described in my NI Week presentation, Continuous Integration with Jenkins and LabVIEW available here.

I created this document as I was setting up a new Jenkins system so it should have everything but if something seems vague or missing please let me know and I'll address it.

Autobuild.csv file has to be called in which location of Jenkins or folder

The build.bat file expects Autobuild.csv to be at the root of your SCC repo. Examples of this can be found in our GitHub repo:

https://github.com/NIVeriStandAdd-Ons/J1939-Custom-Device

https://github.com/NIVeriStandAdd-Ons/Engine-Simulation-Toolkit-Custom-Device

https://github.com/NIVeriStandAdd-Ons/Scan-Engine-Custom-Device

You'll notice that in each of the above repos, there is an Autobuild.csv file in the root of the repo that contains the commands to be executed. Abstracting the build process to the csv file in the repo is what makes this process powerful. Let me know if that doesn't answer your question.

I am using svn can I do without github

Absolutely, you can use any SCM that Jenkins supports (SVN being among them) and I've used SVN for several of my projects. The github repos were meant purely as an example of repos that we build on our Jenkins server, and what their csv files look like.

If you have more questions about setting up a system, go ahead and start a discussion thread in this group. That way we can keep this section as general comments/questions on the getting started doc.

May u explain setting up with SVN in a local folder to get the things and Autobuild.csv settings

Setting up Jenkins with SVN is the same process as any other SCM. If you're using the latest Jenkins, I believe it comes with SVN, otherwise you'd download the subversion plug-in using the process I describe in the getting started guide. If it installed, you'll see Subversion as an option in your SCM section of the Jenkins job and you can configure it appropriately:

As for the Autobuild.csv settings, it depends on what you want to do, I recommend re-reading the Autobuild.csv section of the getting started guide. If you have more questions, let's move this to a general discussion thread here. If you haven't already, I'd also recommend you do some reading on the Jenkins page to better familiarize yourself with Jenkins. Hope this helps!

Hi Ryan,

Two months back, we started LabVIEW Jenkins CI automation. Now currently we running into an issue.

What happening is the the following:

1. I trigger the build and the source update via AccuRev(No problem).

2.Build.bat executes, it is hanging there only until we abort. But it is working fine in the local server.

Yesterday we changed the Jenkins user account, after that it worked fine for two builds and then again the same above issue came back, it is hanging in Jenkins, but it working in the windows server.

I observed that, when I build locally in the server in the the task manager LabVIEW use 25% CPU and 10 lakh kb memory, but when I trigger throw Jenkins at one point CPU % went to 0 and memory is hanging 1 ***** digit KB.

It would be great, if you can help on this. we get stucked her. Please help us.

I have a customer that is in writing each instruction line in the autobuild.csv . He is using some FPGA builds and is having issues writing the instruction line.

He has tried various forms of LabVIEW.project<TAB>FPGA Target<TAB>FPGA build

What is the correct way of writing the instruction line when using FPGA builds?
