Continuous Integration (JENKINS) about kif

[subdigital]

I'm also having this same issue...

[subdigital]

Note: I'm able to execute this just fine if I ssh into the server and run the command. Just not via jenkins. I have a whoami in the script, so I'm definitely running as the same user.

Is your OS X server logged-in as a real user, preferably the same user Jenkins is running under?

[subdigital]

Yes, I'm logged in as the same user via screen share. If I run the build script via SSH from my box to the server, I can see the simulator start up in the Screen Sharing window.

When jenkins runs it, I don't see anything, it just times out.

Ok. How did you install Jenkins? We're using the native OS X installer (http://mirrors.jenkins-ci.org/osx/latest), configured in /Library/LaunchAgents. Here's what the agent config dictionary (org.jenkins-ci.plist) looks like:

<dict>
    <key>Label</key>
    <string>org.jenkins-ci</string>
    <key>UserName</key>
    <string>daemon</string>
    <key>GroupName</key>
    <string>daemon</string>
    <key>ProgramArguments</key>
    <array>
        <string>/usr/bin/java</string>
        <string>-Xmx512m</string>
        <string>-jar</string>
        <string>/Applications/Jenkins/jenkins.war</string>
    </array>
    <key>RunAtLoad</key>
    <true/>
    <key>KeepAlive</key>
    <true/>
    <key>EnvironmentVariables</key>
    <dict>
        <key>JENKINS_HOME</key>
        <string>/Users/Shared/Jenkins/Home</string>
    </dict>
</dict>

I believe this is the stock configuration.

Mine was installed similarly (I think), however my configuration is in /Library/LaunchDaemons and looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>EnvironmentVariables</key>
    <dict>
        <key>JENKINS_HOME</key>
        <string>/Users/Shared/Jenkins/Home</string>
    </dict>
    <key>GroupName</key>
    <string>staff</string>
    <key>KeepAlive</key>
    <true/>
    <key>Label</key>
    <string>org.jenkins-ci</string>
    <key>ProgramArguments</key>
    <array>
                <string>/bin/bash</string>
        <string>/Library/Application Support/Jenkins/jenkins-runner.sh</string>
    </array>
    <key>RunAtLoad</key>
    <true/>
    <key>UserName</key>
    <string>gaurav</string>
</dict>
</plist>

Moving the plist over into /Library/LaunchAgents did the trick!

I read a little more about the difference between the two types of processes here, which helped:

Thanks for the assistance.

Cool, glad you got it working.

Moving the plist to LaunchAgents also worked for me. Thanks for the help :)
