I am playing with Jenkins (which seems really cool) and have a question on coordinating Post-build actions, for example "Publish FindBugs analysis results".
I started this project in Eclipse and the code resides in the directory eclipsestuff/workspace/project (not the real name). The code is also checked into SVN. When I update a file, this correctly triggers a build. In my build.xml file there is the FindBugs task, which creates an output file of "output.xml". From within Eclipse, it all works fine. Now, when I set up the project in Jenkins, I have to enter something for the "FindBugs results" file. And, more specifically, that file name has to be in my "Jenkins workspace", which is pulled from SVN (or at least I couldn't find a way to specify a path to eclipsestuff/ workspace/project/output.xml). So I think that my output.xml results need to get checked into SVN so that Jenkins can then pull them back out to do the FindBugs analysis. But that doesn't seem right either. I "solved" this by having the ant task (inside my build.xml) create the output.xml in trunk/Project/output.xml. But that seems somehow wrong. Before I apply this "solution" to checkstyle and Junit, I thought I should check in and get some advice. I have a feeling I am missing something very obvious. (My question seems a little similar to http://groups.google.com/group/jenkinsci-users/browse_thread/thread/b45e9f16e6215b74/c8f7f9ab6efeeb2e?lnk=gst&q=workspace+root#c8f7f9ab6efeeb2e, but even simpler). Thanks!!! RB
