I am a beginner at the field of Devops.
I have created a simple web application (jsp), using 3 Jenkins jobs to store the code in GIT, to deploy the this app into Tomcat, and also to site-monitor this app (respectively).
Now, I have been trying - with no success -to automate a simple test with 2 verifications of my app functionality, using Selenium IDE and triggering it via Jenkins job (the fourth one in my project).
In order to perform it , I created the following job on Jenkins, with the needed plugin added (which is SeleniumHQ htmlsuite Run).
Here is the job:

The job running has failed,giving the following error which I cant handle.
When I run it, I get the following error :

Any help would be very appreciated
Just tick Delete workspace before build starts box under Build Environment stanza
If you don't have the option in your Jenkins job configuration - make sure that Workspace Cleanup Plugin is installed
If you're running your Selenium tests via Jenkins Pipeline - all you need to do is to put cleanWS() directive somewhere in your pipeline code or Jenkinsfile

I have a gitlab-ci.yml file which I have inherited. And I have a local gitlab server running on my laptop. I have managed to create several gitlab runners and kickoff this inherited pipeline -- which gets immediately stuck. The error I am getting is:
...because you dont have any active runners online or available with any of these tags assigned to them: sometag
I have pieced together that the gitlab-ci.yml file references several tags and if there is a runner with a given tag, the runner will pickup my pipeline --- but why do I need this control (or hassle, more like it). What does it matter which runner runs my pipeline? Do i need to closely examine the gitlab-ci.yml file and based on that make some special runner for it ?
After I have modified my runners and gave them the missing tags, I am still getting the same error. Looking at the runner API results, the results do show that where it says "online" it shows "null". What does it mean? How do I make this runner "online"
There may be several runner, which will have different executors set up and thus, have different functionalities. So, the best practice is to give tags in gitlab-ci.yml file to run the jobs on particular runner.
In order to bring your runner online, you can go in the server where that particular gitlab runner is installed, and in the restart the gitlab-runner service using gitlab-runner restart with the user you have installed the runner or root user.
Sometimes, it might happen that you have changed the tags or added some tags to the runner using Gitlab UI but the same tags has not been saved in config.toml file. (config.toml file stores the gitlab-runner configurations. More details here https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/configuration/advanced-configuration.html)
So, in this particular case, you have to go the server where the gitlab-runner is installed, and modify the tags in config.toml file and then restart the gitlab-runner service. If everything goes well, you can see the runner is online in Gitlab UI.
I'm setting up an Azure-DevOps pipeline in which I want to include automated tests via the Newman CLI.
Imagine a pipeline like this.
Build Project
Copy build to test folder
Run the application => (API-Server)
Run Newman
Kill API Server Process
On Success Copy Build to another folder.
My Problem is that my server application is in a waiting state after it's initialization.
The next Task in my build pipeline won't start.
Is there a way to run multiple command lines asynchronously in Azure-DevOps?
Starting the process in via "start" won't work since it throws me an
ERROR: Input redirection is not supported, exiting the process immediately.
start "%TESTDIR%\foo\bar.exe"
timeout 10
We upgraded from Gitlab 7.11.4 to 9 in one fell swoop (by accident). Now we are trying to get CI set up the way it use to run for us before. I understand that CI is an integrated thing now.
One of my coworkers got a multi-runner thing going. The running command looks like so:
/usr/bin/gitlab-ci-multi-runner run --working-directory /home/gitlab-runner --config /etc/gitlab-runner/config.toml --service gitlab-runner --syslog --user gitlab-runner
But previously we had 1 runner for each project and we had a user associated for each project. So, if we have 2 projects called "portal" and "engine", we would have users created thusly:
gitlab-runner-fps-portal
gitlab-runner-fps-engine
And being users, they would have home folders like:
/home/gitlab-runner-fps-portal
/home/gitlab-runner-fps-engine
In the older version of CI, you'd have a config.yml with the url of CI and the runners token. Now you have config.toml.
I want to "divorce" the engine runner from this multi setup which runs under user "gitlab-runner" and have its own runner that runs under "gitlab-runner-fps-engine".
Easy to do? Right now since all of this docker business is new to us, we're continuing on to use "shell" as our executor in gitlab, if that information is useful.
There are at least two ways you can do it:
Register a specific runner in each of the projects and disable the shared runners.
Use tags to specify the job must be run on a specific runner. This way you can have some CI jobs run on your defined environment while others (like lint for example) can be run on tagged shared runners.
I am using Jenkins and Ant to run my selenium tests. It works fine when I run them on my local machine.
Now I have a Jenkins server which is on a different location and I have to run my tests on that server.
when I tried to run the tests on that server Its is failing because it couldn't find the build.xml file. can you please let me know how can I change the home directory path?

Building in workspace /var/lib/jenkins/jobs/moveon4 java tests/workspace

Build step 'Invoke Ant' marked build as failure
Finished: FAILURE
Are you using "Invoke Ant" in your Jenkins job configuration for the build step that executes your Ant build ? If so, the build file location is hidden away in the Advanced section - it's an annoying quirk of Jenkins.
we are using Jenkins as CI in our project. We were running the CI from the command line using the following command
java -jar C:\\jenkins\\jenkins.war --httpPort=8085 --ajp13Port=8009
As the system needs to restart frequently, we change CI to start as a windows service.
Now we are facing the issues for Selenium test cases. Selenium test cases are not running after we make Jenkins as service. We are getting the following log and no more progress from that point

Per hudson wiki, you should be running Hudson (or jenkins) as tasks rather than service for GUI testing. Check here. Look at the section GUI Testing in Windows
Following changes will resolve the problem
Update the selenium version.
Use *iexploreproxy or *piiexplore for IE instead of *iehta/*iexplore
