26 # <a name="jenkins_master">Jenkins Master</a>
28 The [Jenkins master server][3] is the home for all project's Jenkins jobs. All
29 maintenance and configuration of these jobs must be done via JJB through the
30 [RelEng repo][4]. Project contributors can no longer edit the Jenkins jobs
31 directly on the server.
33 # <a name="build_slaves">Build Slaves</a>
35 The Jenkins jobs are run on build slaves (executors) which are created on an
36 as-needed basis. If no idle build slaves are available a new VM is brought
37 up. This process can take up to 2 minutes. Once the build slave has finished a
38 job, it will remain online for 45 minutes before shutting down. Subsequent
39 jobs will use an idle build slave if available.
41 Our Jenkins master supports many types of dynamic build slaves. If you are
42 creating custom jobs then you will need to have an idea of what type of slaves
43 are available. The following are the current slave types and descriptions.
44 Slave Template Names are needed for jobs that take advantage of multiple
45 slaves as they must be specifically called out by template name instead of
48 ## Adding New Components to the Slaves
50 If your project needs something added to one of the slaves used during build
51 and test you can help us get things added faster by doing one of the following:
53 * Submit a patch to RelEng/Builder for the [Jenkins spinup script][5] that
54 configures your new piece of software.
55 * Submit a patch to RelEng/Builder for the [Vagrant template's bootstrap.sh][6]
56 that configures your new piece of software.
58 Going the first route will be faster in the short term as we can inspect the
59 changes and make test modifications in the sandbox to verify that it works.
61 The second route, however, is better for the community as a whole as it will
62 allow others that utilize our Vagrant setups to replicate our systems more
63 closely. It is, however, more time consuming as an image snapshot needs to be
64 created based on the updated Vagrant definition before it can be attached to
65 the sandbox for validation testing.
67 In either case, the changes must be validated in the sandbox with tests to
68 make sure that we don't break current jobs and that the new software features
69 are operating as intended. Once this is done the changes will be merged and
70 the updates applied to the RelEng Jenkins production silo.
72 Please note that the combination of a Vagrant slave snapshot and a Jenkins
73 spinup script is what defines a given slave. For instance, a slave may be
74 defined by the [`releng/builder/vagrant/basic-java-node/`][8] Vagrant definition
75 and the [`releng/builder/jenkins-script/controller.sh`][9] Jenkins spinup script
76 (as the dynamic\_controller slave is). The pair provides the full definition of
77 the realized slave. Jenkins starts a slave using the last-spun Vagrant snapshot
78 for the specified definition. Once the base Vagrant instance is online Jenkins
79 checks out the RelEng/Builder repo on it and executes two scripts. The first is
80 [`basic_settings.sh`][10], which is a baseline for all of the slaves. The second is
81 the specialized spinup script, which handles any system updates, new software
82 installs or extra environment tweaks that don't make sense in a snapshot. After
83 all of these scripts have executed Jenkins will finally attach the slave as an
84 actual slave and start handling jobs on it.

295 and uses them to configure Jenkins.

301 ## <a name="jjb">Getting Jenkins Job Builder</a>
303 OpenDaylight uses Jenkins Job Builder to translate our in-repo YAML job
304 configuration into job descriptions suitable for consumption by Jenkins.
305 When testing new Jenkins Jobs in the [sandbox](#jenkins_sandbox), you'll
306 need to use the `jenkins-jobs` executable to translate a set of jobs into
307 their XML descriptions and upload them to the sandbox Jenkins server.
309 We document [installing](#jjb_install) `jenkins-jobs` below. We also provide
310 a [pre-built Docker image](#jjb_docker) with `jenkins-jobs` already installed.
312 ### <a name="jjb_install">Installing Jenkins Job Builder</a>
314 For users who aren't already experienced with Docker or otherwise don't want
315 to use our [pre-built JJB Docker image](#jjb_docker), installing JJB into a
316 virtual environment is an equally good option.
318 We recommend using [pip](#jjb_install_pip) to assist with JJB installs, but we
319 also document [installing from a git repository manually](#jjb_install_manual).
320 For both, we [recommend][17] using [virtual environments](#jjb_install_venv)
321 to isolate JJB and its dependencies.
323 The [`builder/jjb/requirements.txt`][33] file contains the currently
324 recommended JJB version. Because JJB is fairly unstable, it may be necessary
325 to debug things by installing different versions. This is documented for both
326 [pip-assisted](#jjb_install_pip) and [manual](#jjb_install_manual) installs.
328 #### <a name="jjb_install_venv">Virtual Environments</a>
330 For both [pip-assisted](#jjb_install_pip) and [manual](#jjb_install_manual) JJB
331 installs, we [recommend using virtual environments][17] to manage JJB and its
332 Python dependencies. The [Virtualenvwrapper][30] tool can help you do so.
334 There are good docs for [installing Virtualenvwrapper][31]. On Linux systems
335 with pip (typical), they amount to:
337 sudo pip install virtualenvwrapper
339 A virtual environment is simply a directory that you install Python programs
340 into and then append to the front of your path, causing those copies to be
341 found before any system-wide versions.
343 Create a new virtual environment for JJB.
345 # Virtaulenvwrapper uses this dir for virtual environments
347 /home/daniel/.virtualenvs
348 # Make a new virtual environment
350 # A new venv dir was created
351 (jjb)$ ls -rc $WORKON_HOME | tail -n 1
353 # The new venv was added to the front of this shell's path
355 /home/daniel/.virtualenvs/jjb/bin:<my normal path>
356 # Software installed to venv, like pip, is found before system-wide copies
357 (jjb)$ command -v pip
358 /home/daniel/.virtualenvs/jjb/bin/pip
360 With your virtual environment active, you should install JJB. Your install will
361 be isolated to that virtual environment's directory and only visible when the
362 virtual environment is active.
364 You can easily leave and return to your venv. Make sure you activate it before
368 $ command -v jenkins-jobs
369 # No jenkins-jobs executable found
371 (jjb)$ command -v jenkins-jobs
372 $WORKON_HOME/jjb/bin/jenkins-jobs
374 #### <a name="jjb_install_pip">Installing JJB using pip</a>
376 The recommended way to install JJB is via pip.
378 First, clone the latest version of the [`releng/builder`][4] repo.
380 $ git clone https://git.opendaylight.org/gerrit/p/releng/builder.git
382 Before actually installing JJB and its dependencies, make sure you've [created
383 and activated](#jjb_install_venv) a virtual environment for JJB.
387 The recommended version of JJB to install is the version specified in the
388 [`builder/jjb/requirements.txt`][33] file.
390 # From the root of the releng/builder repo
391 (jjb)$ pip install -r jjb/requirements.txt
393 To validate that JJB was successfully installed you can run this command:
395 (jjb)$ jenkins-jobs --version
397 To change the version of JJB specified by [`builder/jjb/requirements.txt`][33]
398 to install from the latest commit to the master branch of JJB's git repository:
400 $ cat jjb/requirements.txt
401 -e git+https://git.openstack.org/openstack-infra/jenkins-job-builder#egg=jenkins-job-builder
403 To install from a tag, like 1.4.0:
405 $ cat jjb/requirements.txt
406 -e git+https://git.openstack.org/openstack-infra/jenkins-job-builder@1.4.0#egg=jenkins-job-builder
408 #### <a name="jjb_install_manual">Installing JJB Manually</a>
410 This section documents installing JJB from its manually cloned repository.
412 Note that [installing via pip](#jjb_install_pip) is typically simpler.
414 Checkout the version of JJB's source you'd like to build.
416 For example, using master:
418 $ git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack-infra/jenkins-job-builder
420 Using a tag, like 1.4.0:
422 $ git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack-infra/jenkins-job-builder
423 $ cd jenkins-job-builder
424 $ git checkout tags/1.4.0
426 Before actually installing JJB and its dependencies, make sure you've [created
427 and activated](#jjb_install_venv) a virtual environment for JJB.
431 You can then use [JJB's `requirements.txt`][20] file to install its
432 dependencies. Note that we're not using `sudo` to install as root, since we want
433 to make use of the venv we've configured for our current user.
435 # In the cloned JJB repo, with the desired version of the code checked out
436 (jjb)$ pip install -r requirements.txt
438 Then install JJB from the repo with:
442 To validate that JJB was successfully installed you can run this command:
444 (jjb)$ jenkins-jobs --version
446 ### <a name="jjb_install_docker">JJB Docker Image</a>
448 [Docker][14] is an open platform used to create virtualized Linux containers
449 for shipping self-contained applications. Docker leverages LinuX Containers
450 \(LXC\) running on the same operating system as the host machine, whereas a
451 traditional VM runs an operating system over the host.
453 docker pull zxiiro/jjb-docker
454 docker run --rm -v ${PWD}:/jjb jjb-docker
456 [This Dockerfile][15] created the [zxiiro/jjb-docker image][29]. By default it
461 You'll need to use the `-v/--volume=[]` parameter to mount a directory
462 containing your YAML files, as well as a configured `jenkins.ini` file if you
463 wish to upload your jobs to the [sandbox](#jenkins_sandbox).
465 ## <a name="jjb_templates">Jenkins Job Templates</a>
467 The OpenDaylight [RelEng/Builder][21] project provides [JJB job templates][2]
468 that can be used to define basic jobs.
470 ### Verify Job Template
474 The Verify job template creates a Gerrit Trigger job that will trigger when a
475 new patch is submitted to Gerrit.
477 Verify jobs can be retriggered in Gerrit by leaving a comment that says
480 ### Merge Job Template
484 The Merge job template is similar to the Verify Job Template except it will
485 trigger once a Gerrit patch is merged into the repo. It also automatically
486 runs the Maven goals **source:jar** and **javadoc:jar**.
488 This job will upload artifacts to [OpenDaylight's Nexus][22] on completion.
490 Merge jobs can be retriggered in Gerrit by leaving a comment that says
493 ### Daily Job Template
495 The Daily (or Nightly) Job Template creates a job which will run on a build on
496 a Daily basis as a sanity check to ensure the build is still working day to
499 ### Sonar Job Template
501 Trigger: **run-sonar**
503 This job runs Sonar analysis and reports the results to [OpenDaylight's Sonar
506 **Note:** Running the "run-sonar" trigger will cause Jenkins to remove its
507 existing vote if it's already -1'd or +1'd a comment. You will need to re-run
508 your verify job (recheck) after running this to get Jenkins to re-vote.
510 The Sonar Job Template creates a job which will run against the master branch,
511 or if BRANCHES are specified in the CFG file it will create a job for the
512 **First** branch listed.
514 ### Integration Job Template
516 The Integration Job Template creates a job which runs when a project that your
517 project depends on is successfully built. This job type is basically the same
518 as a verify job except that it triggers from other Jenkins jobs instead of via
519 Gerrit review updates. The dependencies that triger integration jobs are listed
520 in your project.cfg file under the **DEPENDENCIES** variable.
522 If no dependencies are listed then this job type is disabled by default.
524 ### <a name="distribution_test_job">Distribution Test Job</a>
526 Trigger: **test-distribution**
528 This job builds a distrbution against your patch, passes distribution sanity test
529 and reports back the results to Gerrit. Leave a comment with trigger keyword above
530 to activate it for a particular patch.
532 This job is maintained by the [Integration/Test][1] project.
534 **Note:** Running the "test-distribution" trigger will cause Jenkins to remove
535 it's existing vote if it's already -1 or +1'd a comment. You will need to
536 re-run your verify job (recheck) after running this to get Jenkins to put back
539 ### <a name="patch_test_job">Patch Test Job</a>
541 Trigger: **test-integration**
543 This job runs a full integration test suite against your patch and reports
544 back the results to Gerrit. Leave a comment with trigger keyword above to activate it
545 for a particular patch.
547 This job is maintained by the [Integration/Test][1] project.
549 **Note:** Running the "test-integration" trigger will cause Jenkins to remove
550 it's existing vote if it's already -1 or +1'd a comment. You will need to
551 re-run your verify job (recheck) after running this to get Jenkins to put back
554 Some considerations when using this job:
556 * The patch test verification takes some time (~2 hours) + consumes a lot of
557 resources so it is not meant to be used for every patch.
558 * The system tests for master patches will fail most of the times because both
559 code and test are unstable during the release cycle (should be good by the
561 * Because of the above, patch test results typically have to be interpreted by
562 system test experts. The [Integration/Test][1] project can help with that.
565 ### Autorelease Validate Job
567 Trigger: **revalidate**
569 This job runs the PROJECT-validate-autorelease-BRANCH job which is used as a
570 quick sanity test to ensure that a patch does not depend on features that do
571 not exist in the current release.
573 The **revalidate** trigger is useful in cases where a project's verify job
574 passed however validate failed due to infra problems or intermittent issues.
575 It will retrigger just the validate-autorelease job.
577 ## <a name="jjb_basic_configuration">Basic Job Configuration</a>
579 To create jobs based on existing [templates](#jjb_templates), use the
580 [`jjb-init-project.py`][24] helper script. When run from the root of
581 [RelEng/Builder's repo][13], it will produce a file in
582 `jjb/<project>/<project>.yaml` containing your project's base template.
584 $ python scripts/jjb-init-project.py --help
585 usage: jjb-init-project.py [-h] [-c CONF] [-d DEPENDENCIES] [-t TEMPLATES]
586 [-s STREAMS] [-p POM] [-g MVN_GOALS] [-o MVN_OPTS]
587 [-a ARCHIVE_ARTIFACTS]
590 positional arguments:
594 -h, --help show this help message and exit
595 -c CONF, --conf CONF Config file
596 -d DEPENDENCIES, --dependencies DEPENDENCIES
597 Project dependencies A comma-seperated (no spaces)
598 list of projects your project depends on. This is used
599 to create an integration job that will trigger when a
600 dependent project-merge job is built successfully.
601 Example: aaa,controller,yangtools
602 -t TEMPLATES, --templates TEMPLATES
604 -s STREAMS, --streams STREAMS
605 Release streams to fill with default options
606 -p POM, --pom POM Path to pom.xml to use in Maven build (Default:
608 -g MVN_GOALS, --mvn-goals MVN_GOALS
610 -o MVN_OPTS, --mvn-opts MVN_OPTS
612 -a ARCHIVE_ARTIFACTS, --archive-artifacts ARCHIVE_ARTIFACTS
613 Comma-seperated list of patterns of artifacts to
614 archive on build completion. See:
615 http://ant.apache.org/manual/Types/fileset.html
617 If all your project requires is the basic verify, merge, and daily jobs then
618 using the job template should be all you need to configure for your jobs.
620 ### Auto-Update Job Templates
622 The first line of the job YAML file produced by the [init script][24] will
623 contain the words `# REMOVE THIS LINE IF...`. Leaving this line will allow the
624 RelEng/Builder [auto-update script][25] to maintain this file for your project,
625 should the base templates ever change. It is a good idea to leave this line if
626 you do not plan to create any complex jobs outside of the provided template.
628 However, if your project needs more control over your jobs or if you have any
629 additional configuration outside of the standard configuration provided by the
630 template, then this line should be removed.
632 #### Tuning Templates
634 Allowing the auto-updated to manage your templates doesn't prevent you from
635 doing some configuration changes. Parameters can be passed to templates via
636 a `<project>.cfg` in your `builder/jjb/<project>` directory. An example is
637 provided below, others can be found in the repos of other projects. Tune as
638 necessary. Unnecessary paramaters can be removed or commented out with a "#"

659 against for the branch. The first JDK listed will be used as the default JDK
660 for non-verify type jobs.
662 Note: Projects that are participating in the simultanious release should set
663 "autorelease: true" under the streams they are participating in autorelease
664 for. This enables a new job type validate-autorelease which is used to help
665 identify if Gerrit patches might break autorelease or not.
669 It is also possible to take advantage of both the auto-updater and creating
670 your own jobs. To do this, create a YAML file in your project's sub-directory
671 with any name other than \<project\>.yaml. The auto-update script will only
672 search for files with the name \<project\>.yaml. The normal \<project\>.yaml
673 file can then be left in tact with the "# REMOVE THIS LINE IF..." comment so
674 it will be automatically updated.
676 ## <a name="jjb_maven_properties">Maven Properties</a>
678 We provide a properties which your job can take advantage of if you want to do
679 something different depending on the job type that is run. If you create a
680 profile that activates on a property listed blow. The JJB templated jobs will
681 be able to activate the profile during the build to run any custom code you
682 wish to run in your project.

691 # <a name="jenkins_sandbox">Jenkins Sandbox</a>
693 The [sandbox instance][27]'s purpose is to allow projects to test their JJB
694 setups before merging their code over to the RelEng master silo. It is
695 configured similarly to the master instance, although it cannot publish
696 artifacts or vote in Gerrit.
698 If your project requires access to the sandbox please open an OpenDaylight
699 Helpdesk ticket (<helpdesk@opendaylight.org>) and provide your ODL ID.
701 ## Notes Regarding the Sandbox
703 * Jobs are automatically deleted every Saturday at 08:00 UTC
704 * Committers can login and configure Jenkins jobs in the sandbox directly
705 (unlike with the master silo)
706 * Sandbox configuration mirrors the master silo when possible
707 * Sandbox jobs can NOT upload artifacts to Nexus
708 * Sandbox jobs can NOT vote on Gerrit
710 ## <a name="sandbox_config">Configuration</a>
712 Make sure you have Jenkins Job Builder [properly installed](#jjb_install).
714 If you do not already have access, open an OpenDaylight Helpdesk ticket
715 (<helpdesk@opendaylight.org>) to request access to ODL's sandbox instance.
716 [Integration/Test][1] committers have access by default.
718 JJB reads user-specific configuration from a [`jenkins.ini` file][7]. An
719 example is provided at [`builder/jenkins.ini.example`][28].
721 # If you don't have RelEng/Builder's repo, clone it
722 $ git clone https://git.opendaylight.org/gerrit/p/releng/builder.git
723 # Make a copy of the example JJB config file (in the builder/ directory)
724 $ cp jenkins.ini.example jenkins.ini
725 # Edit jenkins.ini with your username, API token and ODL's sandbox URL
729 user=<your ODL username>
730 password=<your ODL Jenkins sandbox API token>
731 url=https://jenkins.opendaylight.org/sandbox
734 To get your API token, [login to the Jenkins **sandbox** instance][32] (_not
735 the main master Jenkins instance, different tokens_), go to your user page (by
736 clicking on your username, for example), click "Configure" and then "Show API
739 ## <a name="jjb_use_manual">Manual Method</a>
741 If you [installed JJB locally into a virtual environment](#jjb_install),
742 you should now activate that virtual environment to access the `jenkins-jobs`
748 You'll want to work from the root of the RelEng/Builder repo, and you should
749 have your `jenkins.ini` file [properly configured](#sandbox_config).
751 ### <a name="jjb_manual_test">Testing Jobs</a>
753 It's good practice to use the `test` command to validate your JJB files before
756 jenkins-jobs --conf jenkins.ini test jjb/ <job-name>
758 If the job you'd like to test is a template with variables in its name, it
759 must be manually expanded before use. For example, the commonly used template
760 `{project}-csit-verify-1node-{functionality}` might expand to
761 `ovsdb-csit-verify-1node-netvirt`.
763 jenkins-jobs --conf jenkins.ini test jjb/ ovsdb-csit-verify-1node-netvirt
765 Successful tests output the XML description of the Jenkins job described by
766 the specified JJB job name.
768 ### <a name="jjb_manual_push">Pushing Jobs</a>
770 Once you've [configured your `jenkins.ini`](#sandbox_config) and [verified your
771 JJB jobs](#jjb_manual_test) produce valid XML descriptions of Jenkins jobs you
772 can push them to the Jenkins sandbox.
774 > _**Important Note:** When pushing with `jenkins-jobs`, a log message with
775 > the number of jobs you're pushing will be issued, typically to stdout.
776 > **If the number is greater than 1** (or the number of jobs you passed to
