#Basecamp-jenkins

Once your jenkins is up and running:

Go to http://localhost:8080/job/pre-test-build/configure In the pre-test-commit job, add you github credentials

• Go to localhost:8080/configure.
• Fill out
  • 'System Admin e-mail address' under Jenkins Location
  • The fields under the 'E-mail Notification' section
  • To use your own gmail account (only works with 2-factor authentication), under the 'E-mail Notification' section:
    • SMTP server: smtp.gmail.com
    • Click 'Advanced'
    • Check 'Use SMTP Authentication'
    • User Name: your gmail username
    • Password: your gmail password (application-specific if you use 2-factor authentication)
    • Check 'Use SSL'
    • add '465' to the text box labelled 'SMTP Port'

Configuration for shared, local Jenkins instance..

To avoid checking in everything in Jenkins, I am using a reverse git strategy, like this:

• .gitignore has a "*" in it, ignoring everything

• if I want to have a file under version control, I force it in with

  git add -f file

This means you have to explicitly add a new job to version control, e.g.

git add -f jobs/my_job/config.xml

If you want to use eclipse to edit the files, you can run

./gradlew eclipse

and import the newly created project into eclipse.

If you want to use ssh for you own clone of the Jenkins configuration, put

[email protected]:jwermuth/basecamp-vagrant.git

into

.git/config

e.g.

[remote "origin"]
url = [email protected]:jwermuth/basecamp-vagrant.git
