Getting the jasmine tests up and running on Jenkins had a few small caveats to the docs .. hope someone finds this helpful!
A list of troubles and thier shooting :)
- No module named wsgiserver2
Solution: Apparently, pip install cherrypy is broken, so you need to do the following after you have run pip install jasmine:
pip uninstall cherrypy
pip install --no-use-wheel CherryPy
This works locally, but in Jenkins, you'll run into trouble when it prompts you. The fix is to pipe "yes" to the script (which is pretty cool!)
/usr/bin/yes | pip uninstall CherryPy
Next, running the actual tests is just a case of:
jasmine-ci
Only problem is that jasmine-ci by default uses the Firefox browser. If your Jenkins server does not have a screen (quite likely), then this might cause issues such as: "RuntimeError: Could not find firefox in your system PATH. Please specify the firefox binary location or install firefox"
The easy way round this is just to use phantomjs:
Install Phantomjs
npm install -g phantomjs
Specify the browser
jasmine-ci --browser phantomjs
Finally, my build process looked like this (two build steps using the ShinyPanda virtualenv plugin)
Step 1: setup
pip install jasmine
/usr/bin/yes | pip uninstall CherryPy
pip install --no-use-wheel CherryPy
Step 2: run the tests
jasmine-ci --browser phantomjs
Result
[workspace] $ /bin/sh -xe /tmp/shiningpanda7111320138862971904.sh
+ jasmine-ci --browser phantomjs
