Multibranch Pipeline

Problems

Like database product, it runs on multi-platform, but for software enginner they may only works on one platform, how they could identify their code works on all platform? manually build the various platforms? NO!

Solution

Most people would know we can use Jenkins pipeline, they may create multi Jenkins job for different stuation.

How to do it in an elegant way, I would want to share how to use multibranch pipeline to achieve.

  1. When create a pull request, auto parallel start simple build.
  2. Reviewers can decide whether to merge base on build results.
  3. After code merged, auto start full build.

Code Coverage tools of C/C++

Code Coverage is a measurement of how many lines, statements, or blocks of your code are tested using your suite of automated tests. It’s an essential metric to understand the quality of your QA efforts.

Code coverage shows you how much of your application is not covered by automated tests and is therefore vulnerable to defects. it is typically measured in percentage values – the closer to 100%, the better.

When you’re trying to demonstrate test coverage to your higher-ups, code coverage tools (and other tools of the trade, of course) come in quite useful.

GitSCM clone code don't display branch

最近遇到一个 regression bug,是产品完成构建之后,build commit number 不对,显示的 HEAD 而不是常见的 97b34931ac HASH number,这是什么原因呢?
我检查了 build 脚本没有发现问题,branch 的输出是正确的,那我怀疑是引入 Jenkins 的原因,果然登录到远程的 agent 上去查看分支名称如下:

C:\workspace\blog>git branch
* (HEAD detached at 97b3493)

果然问题出在了 Jenkins 上。这个问题有简单办法解决,就是直接使用git命令来clone代码,而不使用Git插件

git clone --depth 1 -b u2opensrc https://username:"passwowrd"@git.github.com/scm/blog.git blog

这种方式固然简单,不会出错,但它是明码显示,我岂能容忍这种不堪的处理方式吗?肯定还是要在 Git 插件上找到解决办法的。
随后google一下,果然有遇到和我一样问题的人,问题链接 这里

他说他做了很多调查,还跟专业的 Jenkins 人士联系,试了很多次,最后找到这个办法

checkout([$class: 'GitSCM', branches: [[name: '*/feature/*']], doGenerateSubmoduleConfigurations: false, extensions: [[$class: 'LocalBranch', localBranch: "**"]], submoduleCfg: [], userRemoteConfigs: [[credentialsId: '99f978af-XXXX-XXXX-8147-2cf8f69ef864', url: 'http://TFS_SERVER:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection/Product/_git/Project']]])

主要是在 extensions:[] 中加入这句 [$class: ‘LocalBranch’, localBranch: “**”]

这是 Jenkins 的 Bug 吗?带着这个疑问随后通过 Pipeline Syntax,找到 checkout: Check out from version control,在 Additional Behaviours 里有 Check out to specific local branch 这个配置项

If given, checkout the revision to build as HEAD on this branch.
If selected, and its value is an empty string or “**”, then the branch name is computed from the remote branch without the origin. In that case, a remote branch origin/master will be checked out to a local branch named master, and a remote branch origin/develop/new-feature will be checked out to a local branch named develop/newfeature.

看介绍原来 Jenkins 自带这个设置,只是它不是默认选项,所以才遇到刚才那个问题。随后选择这个设置,然后填入”**”,然后生成 Pipeline 脚本,就跟上面的脚本一样了。

Automatically commit code by Jenkins

When we need to release a product, we should change copyright, build version, release month, release note…
How to modify multiple files automatically?
I used a Jenkins pipeline project, the project is parameterized(string parameter) and regular expressions to implement.

  1. Here is the string parameter for copyright:

    • Name: copyright

    • Default Value: 1995—2019

    • Description: Copyright format:1995—2019

      stage('change copyrigh') {
      steps {
      sh label: '', script: 'sed -i -E "s/(1995—[0-9]{4})/${copyright}/" 1033/AutoRun.ini'
      }
      }
  2. Here is the string parameter for build version:

    • Name: build_version

    • Default Value: 1.2.2.1002

    • Description: build version format: 1.2.2.1002

      stage('change build version') {
      steps {
      sh label: '', script: 'sed -i -E "s/([0-9].[0-9].[0-9].[0-9]{4})/${build_version}/" 1033/AutoRun.ini'
      }
      }
  3. Here is the string parameter for build version:

    • Name: release_month

    • Default Value: May 2019

    • Description: release month format: May 2019

      stage('change release month') {
      steps {
      sh label: '', script: '''
      sed -i -E "s/([a-z]* 20[0-9]{2})/${release_month}/" 1033/AutoRun.ini
      sed -i -E "s/([a-z]* 20[0-9]{2})/${release_month}/" 1033/MainMenu.ini
      '''
      }
      }
  4. push change to Git

    stage('git push to Git') {
    steps {
    sshagent(['8dd766ba-ac0f-4302-afa8-bee59c726dee']) {
    sh("git add 1033/AutoRun.ini")
    sh("git add 1033/MainMenu.ini")
    sh("git commit -m 'Bld # ${build_version}'")
    sh("git push -u origin master")
    }
    }
    }
  5. Whole Jenkins Pipeline looks like:

    pipeline {
    agent {
    label 'master'
    }

    stages{
    stage('git clone') {
    steps{
    git branch: 'master',
    credentialsId: '8dd766ba-ac0f-4302-afa8-bee59c726dee',
    url: 'git@github.com:shenxianpeng/blog.git'
    }
    }

    stage('change copyrigh') {
    steps {
    sh label: '', script: 'sed -i -E "s/(1995—[0-9]{4})/${copyright}/" 1033/AutoRun.ini'
    }
    }

    stage('change release month') {
    steps {
    sh label: '', script: '''
    sed -i -E "s/([a-z]* 20[0-9]{2})/${release_month}/" 1033/AutoRun.ini
    sed -i -E "s/([a-z]* 20[0-9]{2})/${release_month}/" 1033/MainMenu.ini
    '''
    }
    }

    stage('change build version') {
    steps {
    sh label: '', script: 'sed -i -E "s/([0-9].[0-9].[0-9].[0-9]{4})/${build_version}/" 1033/AutoRun.ini'
    }
    }

    stage('git push to Git') {
    steps {
    sshagent(['8dd766ba-ac0f-4302-afa8-bee59c726dee']) {
    sh("git add 1033/AutoRun.ini")
    sh("git add 1033/MainMenu.ini")
    sh("git commit -m 'Bld # ${build_version}'")
    sh("git push -u origin master")
    }
    }
    }
    }
    }
