Hi Paulo,
I think common practice is to have your shell script build when it
detects a check-in via polling, on successful completion of build it
would call another Jenkins job to install and test.
Thanks. What do you mean 'another Jenkins job'?
Like creating a new shell script that is called by the build script?
This separates pure
compiling errors from logical or other errors which cause tests to fail.
Second, although you can have a build directory outside the workspace, I
would not recommend it. You can set up your SCM checkout to go into a
subdirectory of the workspace if that seems better.
Is there an option to do that with git plugin in jenkins? I can't find
anything.
On your third
question, Jenkins will not automatically delete the workspace after a
job completes. You should keep at least the most recent build's
workspace in case it is needed to diagnose issues with the build or
install/test. Jenkins can be configured as to how many past builds are
kept and whether to clean the workspace prior to starting a new build.
Thanks.
Regards,
Eric

Hello,
I am using jenkins for the first time.
Great software, I am very happy with its ease of use.
I do however have some questions:
* I got jenkins to hourly poll a git rep, the I execute a shell
script. Is this shell script supposed to build, install and test? Or
should these things be separated into different scripts?
* The workspace seems to be the git repository root; Can I have the
build directory and install directory outside the workspace?
* Should I remove the build and install directories afterwards or
will jenkins take care of that?
Is there a way to receive an email also containing the new changes
to the repository?
Thanks,
Paulo Matos
