Hi

I wondering if/how I can configure jenkins to execute Autoit scripts. Can I then use ants executable to execute the converted au3toexe script? Or does jenkins have a plugin for this.

If you have experience please let me know about your configuration!

Tnahx! WIll try you solution to! I solved it with an ant build.xml

What I do now is that I have an Ant build.xml that execute my converted autoit script as below

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<project name="Test" default="test" basedir=".">

<target name="test">

<exec executable="C:UsersdserakisProjAutoitnpadE.exe">

<env key="DSIAPLY" value=":1.0"/>

</exec>

</target>

</project>

In jenkins you execute Ant by Configuring you Project and choose "Add build step" -> "invoke Ant". In the "Build file" field you should enter the location and name of you ant build file. Then click save ant the ant file will execute when a new build is triggered.

This will only execute the autoit script. Problem that I had was that I had installed Jenkins as an Windows service which do not allowe my gui execution to enter the WIndows desktop. Solved this problem by uninstalling Jenkins and donwloading jenkins.war from http://jenkins-ci.org/ and run "java -jar jenkins.war" from the command line to start Jenkins. Then my GUI script will run and display on my Windows desktop when I run with the same configuration.

Well we can only test our program with GUI tests and I wanted to confirm that the test are running properly and thats why I want to se the GUI tests. You are absolutly right, the Continuous Integration build and tests should execute unattended and that how we do it aswell. Why did you think that I was attended??

I don't know...we are testing an CAD program which we configure in some way and we want to test that the new GUI has not affected the other stuff that are working. But maybe you are right, we should be able to test with non-GUI testcases...Thanx for the feedback!

Dimser hasn't been here in nearly 3 years, don't expect him to answer you.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

I hereby grant any person the right to use any code I post, that I am the original author of, on the autoitscript.com forums, unless I've specifically stated otherwise in the code or the thread post. If you do use my code all I ask, as a courtesy, is to make note of where you got it from.
