Jan 24, 2020 This command will download the current Long-term support (LTS) version of Jenkins and will spin-up a new Docker container. You can learn more about the different options available at the official Jenkins Docker documentation page. The plugin was tested with a limit of 7 users per Mac hosts. The supported credentials for now is User and Password. Put an account of your mac with sudo NOPASSWORD configured (see Configure a Jenkins User). Refer the label of your agent. Select JNLP for the connector and refer your Jenkins URL. Apr 06, 2012 Download previous versions of jenkins.war.

Main features

  • Provides NodeJS auto-installer, allowing to create as many NodeJS installations 'profiles' as you want.
    The auto-installer will automatically install a given version of NodeJS, on every jenkins agent where it will be needed
  • Allows to install globally some npm packages inside each installations, these npm packages will be made available to the PATH
  • Allows to execute some NodeJS script, under a given NodeJS installation
  • Allows use custom NPM user configuration file defined with config-file-provider plugin to setup custom NPM settings
  • Add a lightweight support to DSL pipeline
  • Force 32bit architecture
  • Relocate npm cache folder using pre defined strategies
  • Allow use of a mirror repo for downloading and installing NodeJS.

Usage

  1. After installing the plugin, go to the global jenkins configuration panel (JENKINS_URL/configure or JENKINS_URL/configureTools if using jenkins 2),
    and add new NodeJS installations.

    • If you wish to install NodeJS from a nodejs.org mirror, select the 'Install from nodejs.org mirror' option, where you can then enter a mirror URL and then install NodeJS just like you would from nodejs.org.

  2. For every Nodejs installation, you can choose to install some global npm packages.
    Since 1.2.6 you could force the installation of the 32bit package for the underlying architecture if supported. If the package is not available the build will fail.

    Note that you might provide npm package's version (with syntax 'package@0.1.2' for instance, or maybe better, 'package@~0.1.0') in order to enforce
    reproductibility of your npm execution environment (the ~ syntax allows to benefits from bugfixes without taking the risk of a major version upgrade)
    See below:

  3. Now, go to a job configuration screen, you will have 2 new items :

    • On the 'Build environment' section, you will be able to pick one of the NodeJS installations to provide its bin/ folder to the PATH.
      This way, during shell build scripts, you will have some npm executables available to the command line (like bower or grunt)
      See below:
    • On the 'Build' section, you will be able to add a 'Execute NodeJS script' build step
      This way, you will be able to fill a textarea with the script content you want to execute.
      Note that you will have to select a NodeJS runtime you previously installed, to specify the NodeJS version you want to use
      during your NodeJS script execution.

  4. Pre civilization marble age hacked. You can customise any NPM settings you need creating a NPM config file where you can also setup multiple npm registry (scoped or public)
    and select for each one stored credential (only user/password supported type) as follow:
    and than select the config file to use for each configured build step

  5. You would relocate the npm cache folder to swipe out it when a job is removed or workspace folder is deleted. There are three default strategy:

    • per node, that is the default NPM behaviour. All download package are placed in the ~/.npm on Unix system or %APP_DATA%npm-cache on Windows system;
    • per executor, where each executor has an own NPM cache folder placed in ~/npm-cache/$executorNumber;
    • per job, placed in the workspace folder under $WORKSPACE/npm-cache. This cache will be swipe out together the workspace and will be removed when the job is deleted.

Pipeline

The current supported DSL steps are:

  • nodejs (as buildwrapper)
  • tools

In a Declarative pipeline you can add any configured NodeJS tool to your job, and it will enhance
the PATH variable with the selected NodeJS installation folder, instead in scripted pipeline you have to do it manually.

Example of use tools in Jenkinsfile (Scripted Pipeline)

This example show the use of buildwrapper, where enhanced PATH will be available only inside the brace block

Example of the use of buildwrapper Jenkinsfile (Declarative Pipeline)

') { sh 'npm config ls' } } } }}'>

Configure plugin via Groovy script

Either automatically upon Jenkins post-initialization or through Jenkins script console, example:

Known limitations / issues

NodeJS version 1.0 has adapted its code to the most recent Jenkins API (1.6xx). If also EnvInject is installed you will fall in JENKINS-26583
that corrupts setup of the nodejs installation bin folder into PATH environment. In this case consider if update or not or use an own build from
this branch until the JENKINS-26583 will not be fixed.

  • If you update from NodeJS 0.2.2 or earlier to newer version materializes a data migration. This data migration is transparent to the users but
    you can not back to 0.2.2 without lost global configuration tools and job build step configuration.
  • NodeJS versions prior to 0.9.0 won't be available at the moment (directory structure was not the same as today on distribution site).
    This might be handled in the future (this is exposed as PathResolver implementation) :
    don't hesitate to provide new implementations for previous versions and submit a PR on github.
  • Supported architecture are:
    • Windows 32/64 bit
    • Linux 32/64 bit
    • OSX (intel) 64 bit
    • Arm 6l/7l/64
    • SunOS
    • AIX

Releases Notes

Please refer to github repository page

Jenkins is Continuous Integration automation control software that allows developers to automate repetitive parts of the software development process. While Jenkins can be installed on many operating systems, this guide will focus on the macOS install process.

How To Install Jenkins

This guide assumes you have a fresh install of the latest macOS along with Xcode, and that you don’t already have a Jenkins master server. In a future guide, we will add Jenkins slave servers to the setup.

There are a few ways to install Jenkins on macOS – we’re going to install it using a package manager for macOS called Homebrew. If Homebrew is already installed then skip the next step (check by running “brew -v” in Terminal).

Download Jenkins For Mac Download

Let’s install Homebrew by opening Terminal and entering the following command (this command is all one line):

The installer will give you a list of things it’s going to do, just press enter and Homebrew will be installed.

Now that you have Homebrew installed, you can type check to see if there are any recommendations for your setup:

Before installing Jenkins, we need to install a specific version of Java required by Jenkins – it may ask you for your password to set permissions properly:

Now we can install Jenkins – we’re going to install the LTS (long-term support) version, which is typically more stable:

We want the Jenkins web interface to be accessible from anywhere (not just on the local machine), so we’re going to open up the config file:

Find this line:

And change it to:

(to exit out of nano after making the change, hit Ctrl+X, hit Y to save the changes, and hit Enter)

Let’s start Jenkins and set it to run automatically when the system is rebooted:

The rest of the configuration will mostly be done in a browser on the local machine. Open up Safari and visit http://localhost:8080 , where we will see a screen like this:

Grab the red highlighted text and in Terminal use the ‘cat’ command to display the initial password:

Copy that password and paste it into the Unlock Jenkins page. We’re done with Terminal, feel free to close it.

We can now Customize Jenkins and install some plugins. For now we’re going to choose Install suggested plugins.

Electro voice serial numbers. The installer now downloads and installs the plugins:

Create an admin user and Save and Continue:

Set the URL that users will be using to log in to Jenkins. If users will be connecting to the server remotely, it’s best to set up an A record (like jenkins.yourdomain.com) and set the Jenkins URL to http://jenkins.yourdomain.com:8080. Click Save and Finish:

Setup is complete – click Start using Jenkins.

The rest of the configuration will be done within the Jenkins web interface. You can now create jobs, manage Jenkins and install new plugins, and add new users.

How to Start / Restart Jenkins on macOS

To restart the Jenkins service and make sure it runs after a reboot:

Note: If you didn’t install the LTS version of Jenkins, don’t include the “-lts” portion of the above commands.

Update 2021-Sept-14: Article has been updated to use Java 11 instead of Java 8, which is now supported by Jenkins.
