Summary

Puts into version control the script used by Jenkins to autobuild on Windows. Update it to use VS 2015 and Jenkins Pipeline.

This could be adapted into a script that builds patches on Windows.

Test Plan

Test that all stages of script works as intended

Does it work? Spaces in the name?

Also, wouldn't it be good to use a later version? It has less problems.

We should always use the lowest supported version to detect breakages. One could also use multiple version. I have a powershell script that does that for me :)

There is no space in the name btw, it's src, dest :)

I thought autobuild wasnt' large adress aware, interesting.

I suppose it's not useful for Windows, because we pack wxWidgets for releases by ourselves. Also such detecting doesn't work very good for wxWidgets, because it has different behaviour for different versions.

There is no space in the name btw, it's src, dest :)

Ah, thx, I didn't notice :)

One could delete *.pdb, *.ilk, *.exp, *.lib as well
for Collada and AtlasUI when building a new one only
Same for pyrogenesis

Add newline.

Itms requested changes to this revision.May 29 2019, 9:14 PM

Very nice! I'm proposing the following changes. They are either changes from the scripted pipeline syntax to declarative, or improvements that we could make to the current bat script (so, not a criticism towards your work). The only bug/puzzling thing is the absence of the repo address, which makes me think like this pipeline shouldn't work? Unless you checked the repo out manually once?

win_autobuild
1 ↗(On Diff #8205)

Let's use the

pipeline {
    agent { label 'WindowsSlave' }
    stages {

syntax for consistency with the Linux pipeline.

You can add that label to your local agent to make it work on your machine.

5 ↗(On Diff #8205)

We could get rid of all these variable definitions by just reverting everything after commits, and using the build parameters only when composing the changelist in the last step.

7 ↗(On Diff #8205)

The address of the source repository seems to be missing, how do you checkout the repo the first time?

8 ↗(On Diff #8205)

You can remove all the parenthesis when the directives have only one parameter (like here bat "svn up"). We don't have style conventions yet but I think that makes things more readable ?

16 ↗(On Diff #8205)

Use when (https://jenkins.io/doc/book/pipeline/syntax/#when) instead of scripted pipeline syntax as much as possible.

36 ↗(On Diff #8205)

Let's move to VS2015 at the same time.

as I understand syntax is
when {}
steps {}

problem is that I can have only one when steps in stage
so I dont think it is possible if we do not want about 8 more stages ?

16 ↗(On Diff #8205)

Oh sorry you're right, here it would be a waste. However this seems quite verbose, doesn't if ($atlas == true) or even if ($atlas == "true") work? ?

I need help, or this is going to be without tests:
I cannot call test.exe from jenkins pipeline somehow.
It runs forever:
bat "binaries\\system\\test.exe > cxxtest_release.xml"
the same forever run for:
bat "binaries\\system\\test.exe"

I had the same issue as @Angen with the test not running, it seems a system account doesn't have sufficient privileges to run them...
So one needs to use a specific account in services.msc

Also the build won't run if the repo is in a specific folder with spaces such as program files.

I also added

  • number of cores,
  • fixed options, though we could add large address aware and nvtt.
  • I don't call the bat and instead call premake directly.
  • One could use to download and update specific wxwidgets versions, (maybe a pipeline script ?)

Good work! I am currently testing the pipeline on the autobuilder with the following changes.

Side note: I am wondering about the deletion of binaries that we already performed in the previous script. It doesn't seem needed since we create a changelist properly... What do you think Angen?

I have built the newer version 3.0.4 on the autobuilder.

41 ↗(On Diff #8275)

extra space

48 ↗(On Diff #8275)

I am not going to send the test results to Jenkins for the autobuilder, so I'm removing --jenkins-tests. This will be useful when writing a pipeline for testing patches though.

55 ↗(On Diff #8275)

removed the debug build, also useful for patches

Adding a parameters section is a good habit, it allows them to be documented in the pipeline script.

32 ↗(On Diff #8280)

I had forgotten to copy the files at the correct location and this didn't fail properly. I got

2019/06/02 15:56:28 ERROR 3 (0x00000003) Accessing Source Directory C:\wxwidgets3.0.4\lib\

The system cannot find the path specified.

but the build wasn't marked as failed.

55 ↗(On Diff #8280)

It's a bit irritating not to know when the build is likely to finish, so I removed -clp:Warningsonly -clp:ErrorsOnly in order to have the build output along the way.

66 ↗(On Diff #8280)

Hum I have an issue here, the step never finishes (and I don't have the output from the tests, so maybe it actually never starts). Can you reproduce that?

That's because the Jenkins service doesn't have enough permissions to run the tests as a system account. Msbuild is somehow whitelisted. But that means you need to run Jenkins as another user the easiest being the user that usually logs in to the machine.

Might want to delete the PDB as well for consistency. Also the lib files maybe ?
