I'd like to Integrate Ranorex to Jenkins and i have 2 staff i'd like to check
- First should only on the slave where the Ranorex automation should be triggered that Jenkins is not started as a service or on both master and slave
- Second i'm working with JenkinsFile pipline and i'd like execute Renorex test from this script (jenkinsfile) but i couldn't found any solution any ideas
Thanks a lot :P
I can help you with the first question you have:
The Jenkins service must be executed only on the machine where the automated tests are to be executed. You must also have Ranorex installed on that machine with a runtime license available. Jenkins can be configured to provide continuous integration, so each time you update the source code from Ranorex Jenkins will be able to automatically compile the solution and run the automated test.
Ranorex has an add-on that you can install in Jenkins to integrate the run configurations in order to be launched.

I have created a Jenkins maven task to run selenium tests on one project, and now I want to use these selenium test in a proper way for CI.
Actually, I have a Jenkins task which 1-builds the project, 2- uses sonar, 3 - deploys the project. I would like to add the selenium tests to this process. The question is: can I run the selenium tests before deployment? Is it necessary to do a previous deploy for the selenium tests before the real deployment? Is there anyway to simulate a deployment or something like that so I can run the selenium tests?I would appreciate If you could advise me on how to do or any plugin which could help me.
As per my understanding, To deal with the scenario you should run the selenium test on QA environment. If all test pass then deployment should start for staging etc.
Additionally, once the deployment is done on staging, then selenium script should run again, test staging and if something went wrong then rollback from staging should be happened.
I never tried it but you can use below github plug-in for deployment(in case you are using github) :-
https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/GitHub+plugin
If you are using SVN then use below :-

Hope it will help you :)
We are working with a client that uses VeriFIX to test their FIX message flow. Whilst they have built up lots of tests in many suites, it is a manual process to run them and to collate the results.
On the VeriFIX website it says
Incorporate tests into nightly builds using VeriFIX’s command-line script player.
but I cannot find any details on how to to it. Does anyone have any experience in running VeriFIX tests in a continuous integration server (ideally a Jenkins pipeline).
Many thanks.
You can run VeriFIX playlists in batch mode from the command line:
"%VERIFIX_HOME%\verifixbatch\verifixbatch.exe" -version "FIX (x.y)" -playlist "myplaylist" -disablelogging "false"
If you have received the user manual with your installation of veriFIX, the details of how to integrate with CI are in there.
To integrate veriFIX with Jenkins you will create batch files containing tests and run the batch files as jobs in Jenkins.
The placement of your veriFIX installation is important. If your veriFIX is on a users machine, as is often the case, separate from the environment machine Jenkins resides on, there can be difficulties getting the tests to run.
If you have a centralised install of veriFIX things are much easier.
I'm new to Jenkins, so please go easy!
I have a web application which we are developing, and we've started automating our release using Jenkins.
I also have a standalone Selenium WebDriver script which will perform a Smoke test on our web app. We usually run this manually each time there's a new deployment.
I heard Jenkins can automatically trigger Selenium tests. So what I did was to create a batch file, which will in turn call the Selenium script. I added a Build Step which will call this batch file.
What's happening now is Jenkins first Builds the WAR file, executes the batch (for selenium) and then deploys it to the target Tomcat.
But I was wondering if I could change the order to Build WAR --> Deploy to Tomcat --> Call the Batch file that executes Selenium Test. I want to do this as Jenkins Tests before deploying, which means my Selenium test still runs on the old build. This makes little sense, as I would rather run the Selenium test on the new build.
In short, is there a way I can execute the Batch file as part of a Post Build Step rather than a Build Step?
Thank you Würgspaß !!
I solved my problem by creating a separate Selenium Job which gets triggered automatically if my Build is successful. This way, I can create any number of downstream jobs to be triggered for a successful build.
I'm trying to integrate my selenium automation project with Jenkins using ANT build tool.
I've successfully configured a job and I'm able to BUILD too, but my scripts didn't launch the application and perform the test steps as expected. But still I could see the console output as 'BUILD SUCCESS'...!
When I tried to execute the ANT build through command prompt, it got executed appropriately by launching the application and performing required test steps. So expected the same to happen in Jenkins job as well, but it's not happening so.
Please help me in fixing this issue....!
Note: I have followed the steps given in the post below for integrating Jenkins & Selenium-
http://www.ontestautomation.com/running-selenium-webdriver-tests-in-jenkins-using-ant/
Make sure of two things
Configure Ant: Jenkins > Manage Jenkins > Configure System > Ant installations
Invoke Ant: Jenkins > Job > configure > Build > invoke ant targets
Followed the steps below to overcome the issue I logged/faced:
1) Upgraded the Chrome to latest version
2) Ensured 'Allow service to interact with deskop' is checked - refer to the post below for more information:
Jenkins windows slave service does not interact with desktop
3) Initiated the Jenkins through command prompt (Jenkins should be stopped in services.msc when we do this) in traditional way....
I would like to schedule task which is login to a partner site and prolongs a license. I found that it can do Selenium. After I faced issue with scheduler and found article here http://www.learnseleniumtesting.com/ about Jenkins configuration. Now I cannot understand how to run test from selenium in Jenkins. Is there need good knowledge in python or java ? Also I found that RC standalone selenium server is deprecated and avoided to be using now. Is there need deep diving into using these tools for executing 5-7 action on site ?
I feel that Selenium is great for doing any tasks that you may find yourself doing over and over again. For "prolonging a license" on a partner site I think this is the perfect tool for you. We setup Jenkins to run certain Selenium tests after each commit and other Selenium tests every night. If you need me to go into more detail about how the setup looks I would be glad to show you more details.
Adding Jenkins build information to help show how we did it.
1) The first step is to get a build in Jenkins that will compile any code you have and deploy a war if needed with something similar to the following: mvn -P release clean test package. We set ours to build #midnight shown in the picture below.
2) After this build finishes it triggers the next job to run this command shown in the image below: mvn -Dtest -P smokeTest clean verify
