DevOps for Web Development

Chapter 2. Continuous Integration with Jenkins 2

"The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing."                                                                       -Walt Disney

Jenkins 2 has arrived. It comes with built-in support for delivery pipelines, improved usability, a new setup experience, and complete backward compatibility with existing Jenkins installations. We will be using Jenkins 2 in this book.

This chapter describes in detail how Jenkins plays an important role in continuous integration. It covers how to prepare a runtime environment for application lifecycle management and configure it with Jenkins...

Introduction

We all know what Continuous Integration (CI) is, right? It is the first step in our journey.

 

"The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step."

 
 -- Lao Tzu, the father of Taoism

In simple words, CI is a software engineering practice where each check-in made by a developer is verified by either of the following:

  • Pull mechanism: Executing an automated build at a scheduled time
  • Push mechanism: Executing an automated build when changes are saved in the repository

This step is followed by executing a unit test against the latest changes available in the source code repository.

Jenkins doesn't need the introduction; it is an open source and one the most popular CI tools available in the market. It helps in automating the repetitive task of CI. Jenkins makes the process effective and transparent.

 

"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit."

 
 -- Aristotle

The next question you may ask is what...

Installing Jenkins

Jenkins provides us with multiple ways to install it for all types of users. We can install it on at least the following operating systems:

  • Ubuntu/Debian
  • Windows
  • Mac OS X
  • OpenBSD
  • FreeBSD
  • openSUSE
  • Gentoo
  • CentOS/Fedora/Red Hat

One of the easiest options I recommend is to use a WAR file. A WAR file can be used with or without a container or web application server. Having Java is a must before we try to use a WAR file for Jenkins, which can be done as follows:

  1. Download the jenkins.war file from https://jenkins.io/ .
  2. Open command prompt in Windows or a terminal in Linux, go to the directory where the jenkins.war file is stored, and execute the following command:

    java - jar jenkins.war

  3. Once Jenkins is fully up and running, as shown in the following screenshot, explore it in the web browser by visiting http://localhost:8080.:

    Installing Jenkins

  4. By default, Jenkins works on port 8080. Execute the following command from the command-line:

    java -jar jenkins.war --httpPort=9999

  5. For HTTPS, use the following...

The Jenkins dashboard

The Jenkins dashboard is a simple and powerful place where we can manage all builds and therefore manage the application delivery pipeline as well. Open http://<localhost or IP address>:8080 from browser. Log in with the user credentials which we created earlier. It will direct us to the dashboard.

Let's understand the dashboard parameters:

  • New Item: It is used to create a new build job, pipeline, or build flow in Jenkins 2:

The Jenkins dashboard

  • Manage Jenkins: It allows a Jenkins 2 administrator to manage plugins, users, security, nodes, credentials, global tool configuration, and so on:

The Jenkins dashboard

  • To know about the existing nodes used for build execution, click on Manage Nodes. The master node entry will be available. It is the node where Jenkins is installed. We can add multiple slave nodes to distribute the load, which we will learn later in this chapter:

The Jenkins dashboard

Now that we have installed Jenkins and become familiar with the Jenkins dashboard, the next step is to configure different tools...

Configuring Java and Maven in Jenkins

In Jenkins 2, the Global Tool Configuration section has been introduced, which is a good move. All major configurations related to external tools, their locations, and automatic installer tools can be made in this section. Earlier, these configurations were part of Configure System, which used to make that page bit cluttered.

Configuring Java

To configure Java, provide a Name and the JAVA_HOME path, or check Install automatically checkbox:

Configuring Java

Configuring Maven

To configure Maven, download the Maven installer from https://maven.apache.org/download.cgi , and extract it to the directory on your Jenkins virtual machine. In the Global Tool Configuration section, provide the Name and MAVEN_HOME path, or check Install automatically checkbox:

Configuring Maven

That's it! Our major configuration for running a simple build is done. Now, let's go to the home page of the Jenkins dashboard to create and configure a build job.

The next question you may ask is what makes Jenkins so popular. I already gave you one reason...

That's it! Our major configuration for running a simple build is done. Now, let's go to the home page of the Jenkins dashboard to create and configure a build job.

Creating and configuring a build job for a Java application with Maven

Jenkins builds configured with Maven understands how Maven works and what is required in terms of execution. It uses pom.xml to set up and create package files from the source files.

Now, let's perform steps to create and configure a new build job. Go to the Jenkins dashboard and click on New Item.

Go through all the available options of the types of jobs we can create. In our case, let's create a freestyle project for a demo:

  1. Enter an item name, such as PetClinic, then select Freestyle project. Now click on OK to continue:

  2. Let's verify what this operation does. Go to the Jenkins home directory, and navigate to the jobs directory. We can see that the directory has been created for the newly created job with the same name, as shown in the following screenshot:

Configuring and authenticating source code on GitHub

The next step is to configure a source code repository with the build job. We will use the open source Spring application hosted on GitHub, as explained in the previous chapter:

  1. After that, we will get a URL similar to https://github.com/mitesh51/spring-petclinic .

  2. Create a GitHub account and fork repository from https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-petclinic .

    Tip

    Install Git on a virtual machine using the instructions available in the documentation: Getting Started - Installing Git ( https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git ). To download a Windows application navigate to https://git-scm.com/ and click on Downloads for Windows.

  3. Let's generate a new SSH key to use for authentication. Open a terminal on a CentOS virtual machine with Git installed.

  4. Run ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "your_email@example.com", substituting your GitHub e-mail address.

  5. Press Enter when you are prompted with Enter file in which to save the...

Configuring build job

Now that Git authentication is done with, let's configure a PetClinic build job:

  1. Click on the PetClinic build job on the Jenkins dashboard. Then, click on the Configure link. You'll see the following page as shown here:

  2. Under Source Code Management, provide the GitHub URL for the sample Spring project we forked earlier, as shown in the following screenshot:

  3. We will configure Build Triggers and the Build Environment as shown here:

  4. Under Build, click on Add build step and select Invoke top-level Maven targets. Select the Maven Version we configured in Global Tools Configuration. Enter the Maven target and click on Save:

  5. Let's manually trigger the build by clicking on Build Now. After the build is complete, you'll see this:

  6. Click on the build number, the one with the #  symbol. Open Console Output. Verify the Git operations executing before Maven target execution:

  7. Once source code is available in the build job's workspace, the Maven target will be executed and the...

Configuring JUnit

Our sample application has JUnit test cases, and to execute them, we need to configure JUnit-related settings in the build job configuration:

  1. Under Post-build Actions, select Publish JUnit test result report.

  2. Provide a path for Test report XMLs based on the workspace.

  3. Click on Apply and then click on Save:

  4. After you've configured the JUnit settings for the build, wait for a scheduled build execution, or click on Build Now.

  5. Verify the build status on the Jenkins dashboard and you will see the Test Result link with a small summary. Click on Test Result:

  6. Verify all test execution statuses package wise. The page also provides information related to duration and failed test cases:

In the next section, we will cover the Dashboard View plugin, which helps us customize the view for build jobs.

The Dashboard View plugin - overview and usage

Dashboard View plugin provides a different view implementation, based on a portal kind of layout. We can select different build jobs to be included in a new view and configure different portlets for the view.

To configure it, follow these steps:

  1. Go to Plugin Manager from Manage Jenkins, and click on the Available tab. Search for the Dashboard View plugin and click on Install without restart:

  2. Once the plugin has been installed successfully, we can create a new view by clicking on the + sign on the Jenkins dashboard.

  3. Enter a View name, select the view type, and click on OK:

  4. Click on Edit and configure Dashboard Portlets for the top, left column, right column, and bottom. We can use different portlets, such as Test Statistics Chart, and Trends:

  5. Add different portlets based on your requirements into the view, and save it. Here's a sample view:

  6. After we run the build job, we can find a test result chart on the build job's dashboard as well:

Now...

Managing nodes

Jenkins provides a master-slave concept for managing the aforementioned scenarios. We can assign different build jobs to different slaves in the build configuration and use the master-slave system to manage its overall lifecycle. The master node itself can execute the build if a slave node is not configured explicitly in the build job configuration.

There are quite a few reasons for using this feature:

  • Build jobs require resources, and they compete for resource availability

  • A different runtime environment is required for different build jobs

  • It distributes the load across slave nodes

To make things clearer, we need not install Jenkins on the slave nodes. We only need to configure the slave nodes properly, which we will now cover.

The only requirements are the following:

  • The configurations and runtime environment have to be available on the slave node

  • The path needs to be configured correctly on the master node for the runtime environments or tools used by the slave node for execution...

This is a fantastic book for learning how to use all of the common dev ops tools. It's very well written and doesn't go too fast or too slow for uptake. The first chapter pretty much rushes you into the basics of what you'll be covering and then begins detailed explanations and setup steps to make it work. Me and DevOps generally don't get along and this book has been great.
