Settle newest iOS projects in Jenkins server – Part 2

Create & configure an IOS project in Jenkins

To create an iOS project in Jenkins, I recommend to get the project from a version control server, like git, gitlab, svn, etc. Here I use gitlab to clone my projects into Jenkins.

In the build action, Jenkins already provided an “Xcode plugin” for Xcode-use, but it’s out of date and would invite bugs later, so I use “running shells” instead. The configurations here are shown below:

1. Add a clang-scan build action, and configure it like this:

2. Add a running shell action, and copy the following codes and change the bold ones to your own project name/scheme

# generate clang reports
mkdir -p ${WORKSPACE}/../builds/${BUILD_NUMBER}/clangScanBuildReports/
cp ${WORKSPACE}/clangScanBuildReports/*/StaticAnalyzer/*/*/normal/i386/*.html ${WORKSPACE}/../builds/${BUILD_NUMBER}/clangScanBuildReports/

# generate junit test reports
xcodebuild -workspace Library.xcworkspace -scheme ‘Library‘ -configuration Debug -sdk iphonesimulator clean test 2>&1 | ocunit2junit
# generate the coverage report
cd “${WORKSPACE}”
/usr/local/bin/gcovr –root=”${WORKSPACE}” –exclude='(.*./Developer/SDKs/.*)|(.*test*\.m)’ -x > ./coverage.xml
# generate count report
sloccount –duplicates –wide –details ${WORKSPACE} > ./sloccount.sc

If your are building a 64 bit project, please replace ‘i386’ with ‘x86_64’ to generate clang reports, which means using the following codes instead of the first part above:

# generate clang reports
mkdir -p ${WORKSPACE}/../builds/${BUILD_NUMBER}/clangScanBuildReports/
cp ${WORKSPACE}/clangScanBuildReports/*/StaticAnalyzer/*/*/normal/x86_64/*.html ${WORKSPACE}/../builds/${BUILD_NUMBER}/clangScanBuildReports/

After these scripts, add some post-build actions to release codes related reports, the configuration part would be like this:

Choosing a Global Software Development Partner to Accelerate Your Digital Strategy

To be successful and outpace the competition, you need a software development partner that excels in exactly the type of digital projects you are now faced with accelerating, and in the most cost effective and optimized way possible.

The full configuration would be like this:

Ok it’s time to have a cup of coffee, we are almost there, just save it and run (and with finger-cross: P).

If everything goes well, you would see a big sun shows in the projects overview page. If you see a black cloud (which means a project failed) then please do remember to check the outputs from “console output”in project settings.

Combine Jenkins server together

For those who already have a Jenkins server running in Windows/Linux, you’ll have to set this new Jenkins as a “slave node” for your main Jenkins.
