Automatic ("Nightly") Build of FESA Projects on Jenkins

The FESA projects are set up for automatic ("nightly") builds on the buildserver https://builder.acc.gsi.de/jenkins/ (Kerberos log-in required). The projects are checked out from the software repository (trunk) on the build server. Everything is built using the makefile structure for the framework projects and using maven for the plug-in related projects.

The build system Jenkins indicates the build/test status of the projects using weather icons.

If the sources change in the software repository the next scheduled build will use the changed sources and trigger depending projects.

Email notifications may be sent per project to the project members automatically if the build failed or is stable again.

Structure

The FESA related projects (https://builder.acc.gsi.de/jenkins/job/fesa/) are structured as follows on the build server:

Directory	Description
3rdPartyProjects	Contains 3rd-party dependencies such as ctr-lib, gtest&gmock, WRTimingLibraries
FWK	Contains FESA FWK related projects such as codegen, model, core and core-tests
FESA UI	Contains maven built projects for the Eclipse Plug-In and the command line tool

Dependencies

The following illustrates the dependencies between the projects set up on Jenkins.

3rd-Party Projects

FESA FWK

Building the C++ part of the FESA framework on the build server requires also the middleware libraries. Since they are built from a fixed tag, not from a development trunk, they are not used as triggers. Both the middleware and the FESA projects use the generic makefiles and the boost library (currently version 1.54.0) from the generics part.

All these projects are built on the build server using classical shell commands. Note that the structure has to be reflected by adjusting paths for the makefiles relative to the projects in the workspace on the buildserver.
