For building Jenkins, not that I am aware of. For running Jenkins, yes, there are docker images available at https://hub.docker.com/r/jenkins/jenkins

@calvinpark are you using JDK 8? Most Jenkins development uses JDK 8. JDK 11 is supported for runtime and used in some cases for development as well. If not, do you see the same message when you run with JDK 8? Are you using Maven 3.6.3? If not, do you see the same message with Maven 3.6.3?

I just checked mvn test -P light-test on my Ubuntu 18.04 running AdoptOpenJDK 1.8.0_242 without any issue.

I've seen that issue, but only when running with a JDK 14

The current PowerMock version in core doesn't work anything above JDK 11 I believe

Calvin Park

@calvinpark

Thanks @MarkEWaite It turned out that the issue is due to brew installer on macOS not setting JENKINS_HOME envvar. It sets the path correctly so the test initiates but as it progresses some parts don't finish. This was seen on both JDK 8 and 11. When JAVA_HOME was set both 8 and 11 succeded

Oleg Nenashev

@oleg-nenashev

@CloudNetwork Hi, where do you want to set this alias? Jenkins Account, IRC, GitHub or something else?

Would it make sense to create a dedicated Gitter channel for hackfests, similarly to https://gitter.im/jenkinsci/hacktoberfest and #jenkins-hackhouse in IRC? Or would we like to use IRC as a communication channel?

I see this is not the right place to open any issues our ask for troubleshooting. What would be the right place. Except for google :-) "jenkins/ssh-slave"

If you have an issue with the docker image, you can open an issue on GitHub

Hi to everyone. I am a newbie of Jenkins, and I need to ask a perhaps very basic question: can I design software tests that can run on the same function written in different programming languages?

I am asking this since I and my colleagues are about to deal with legacy code

According to our proposed work plan, we first will analyze the legacy (Delphi) code, design the tests for all its functions/parts and then rewrite it in C# and Python.

We thought of reusing the tests developed for the legacy code in order to test if the newly written code behaves in the same (or almost the same) way.

Thank you very much.

@halkeye

@Daniele-Tampieri so this channel is for new commers that want to contribute to the Jenkins project. Not really support

I've not really heard of writing tests in one language for an app that is in another language, unless you're talking selenium or like mouse clicks, so integration or e2e tests.

I would recommend the Jenkins users mailing list

Or since this is kinda an extreme case maybe hiring one of the companies that specialize in this sort of thing

Daniele-Tampieri

@Daniele-Tampieri

@halkeye Thank you, I'll post on the Jenkins users mailing list and, if things go unmanageable, hire someone.

Oleg Nenashev

@oleg-nenashev

can I design software tests that can run on the same function written in different programming languages?

This part is actually easy. Yes, you can design it. No, it is not really something being done in Jenkins. You likely need a distributed test framework designed for blackbox testing

Daniele-Tampieri

@Daniele-Tampieri

@oleg-nenashev Thank you very much: where can I find information on distributed test framework for blackbox testing suitable for this purpose?

Daniele-Tampieri

@Daniele-Tampieri

@oleg-nenashev I've googled a bit and I found an interesting title by Gao, Tsao and Wu "Testing and Quality Assurance for Component-Based Software" : it seems dealing with that topic. I'll give a look at it.

@oleg-nenashev i like to work on web development. Is there any issue that i can solve?

Ullrich Hafner

@uhafner

Do you mean for the hackfest? (https://www.jenkins.io/events/online-hackfest/2020-uiux/) Or in general, i.e. for a longer perspective?

Here are some UI issues in the warnings plugin: https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-61442, https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-62418, https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-59627, https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-58404

@imrahul361

@uhafner is there any issue in website frontend that I can fix?

Ullrich Hafner

@uhafner

I don’t know, here is the list of open issues: https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20WEBSITE%20AND%20resolution%20%3D%20Unresolved

Gavin Mogan

@halkeye

there's also the list on github - https://github.com/jenkins-infra/jenkins.io/issues

@halkeye

imrahul361 its also probaly worth looking at #jenkinsci/ux-sig

Jenkins version 2.164.2
Folders plugin version 6.9

I'm facing a strange issue. In two folders (out of ~50) some jobs' name and the link changed.

Name should be (from inside test-frameworks folder) pre-merge
Became .. » test-frameworks » pre-merge

Link should be https://<jenkins>/job/test-frameworks/job/pre-merge/
Became https://<jenkins>/job/test-frameworks/job/test-frameworks/job/pre-merge/

As a result, clicking the name of the job leads to 404. I can get to the job page if I manually fix the URL on the address bar.

Attempting to create a job with the same name fails with » A job already exists with the name ‘pre-merge’

I've compared config.xml's of the affected folders and a non-affected and didn't find any obvious issues.

I've also looked at config.xml of the affected job but it didn't contain any references to its name. I guess the job name is based on the folder name?

Has anyone seen an issue like this?

You may want to ask in the normal jenkins gitter channel

Hi there!

Rechecking the tutorial to prepare the environment to contribute (https://www.jenkins.io/doc/developer/tutorial/prepare/) it recommends Eclipse Maven plugin (http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-eclipse-plugin/), which was retired. Should we change the recommended approach for Eclipse users?

intellij community is free and works just fine

so don't think your forced to use eclipse, its totally your choice

@oleg-nenashev

FWIW even Visual Studio Code provides basic software development features. I often have to use it on my work laptop which has serious RAM limitations

I'm starting to love vscods but I can't get java imports to work reliably. Great for small changes but not bigger ones

Ah, yes sorry I clicked the link from github and didn't look at the room name

Have used it only for Angular projects. Can't see it handling dependencies and imports as good as other IDES. Will try my way with IntelliJ community, hopefully I won't miss anything :)

Gavin Mogan

@halkeye

it has plugins that tie into a language server, it does work pretty good, but for some reason is bad at doing the quickfix to add imports
