In the ‘Build’ section, add a build step called ‘Execute Shell’.
When this job runs, it will create a new (and temporary)
directory, drop everything you’re pulling out of BitBucket into
that directory and the appropriate subdirectories, and then run
whatever you put in the execute shell step as if it was a Bash script.
This part is something I’m struggling with. I don’t know how this
script should look like.
I have been running
|matlab -nodesktop -nosplash -r "cd /home/username/matlabScriptLocation;
someMatlabScript; exit"
|
in the Ubuntu terminal, and I managed to run the script specified in
the command.
I tried to run the same line in Jenkins but it didn’t work. So it
seems that I’m doing something wrong.
Also, I will now be running a script from BitBucket rather than a
location on the machine, so I guess it will require some additional
alterations.
I know you said you weren’t familiar with MatLab and BitBucket, but
would you by any chance have any educated guesses on how this script
should look like?

You’ll want to go through the documentation at
http://jenkins-ci.org/, clearly.
I’m assuming that you have BitBucket and MatLab (two technologies
that I am unfamiliar with) on a Ubuntu box. I’m also assuming
that you know BitBucket, MatLab, and Ubuntu. Frankly, I’m not
sure what TAP is, so I can’t help you there.
You can read how to install Jenkins at
https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Meet+Jenkins
<https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Meet+Jenkins>, in the
section “Installation”. Basically, you download jenkins.war
(there’s a link on that page) and run “java –jar jenkins.war”.
You’ll have a simple Jenkins server on port 8080. If you don’t
know how to have that come up every time the machine boots, your
local sysadmin will know how to make an “init.d script” to make
that happen.
Via the Web, go to Manage Jenkins->Manage Plugins. If you only
reach the internet through a proxy, select the ‘Advanced’ tag and
set the HTTP Proxy configuration; see your admin as needed.
Select the ‘Available’ tab. Search for the plugin called
‘Bitbucket pullrequest builder plugin’ Click the box to put a
checkmark on it, then get to the bottom of the page and click
‘Install without restart’. This should install the BitBucket plugin.
Now you’re ready to create a build job.
Get back to the main screen by clicking the word ‘Jenkins’ in the
top left hand corner (to my knowledge, this always works). Click
‘New Item’ to create a new job. Give it a name, and select ‘Build
a free-style software project’ and you will go to the
configuration page.
Your first goal here is to just get the matlab job to run.
Go to the ‘Source Code Management’ section and select BitBucket.
I don’t know what options it will have, but whatever they are,
they should make sense to an expert in BitBucket. Select the
options needed.
In the ‘Build’ section, add a build step called ‘Execute Shell’.
When this job runs, it will create a new (and temporary)
directory, drop everything you’re pulling out of BitBucket into
that directory and the appropriate subdirectories, and then run
whatever you put in the execute shell step as if it was a Bash script.
Once you have the configuration the way that you want it, click
‘save’ at the bottom and you’ll get a page for the job itself.
Click the ‘build’ button (it looks like a clock with a ‘Play’
triangle, as you are actually scheduling a build).
On the left, there will be a ‘Build history’ section. The ‘ball’
to the left will be blue if it succeeds (there’s a plugin to make
that green if you prefer) or red if it fails. There is yellow for
‘unstable’, but you won’t be using that at this point.
Very likely, the first run will hand you a red ball back. Like
anything else in software, you’re gonna have to debug. Click on
the build you just ran, then on ‘Console output’, to see what
happened. Once you know what happened, go back two pages to the
page for the job itself, and select ‘Configure’ to go back to the
configuration page. You’ll cycle between running a job, checking
the console output, and editing the configuration to get it right.
You may have to take several tries to get this script to work. It
will have mostly the same environment of whoever or whatever ran
the ‘java –jar Jenkins.war’ command, so the environment will be
different if you start it from your command line versus it being
started from an init.d script. If, for example, it complains that
it can’t find MatLab, go into the shell step and add the directory
MatLab is in to the path before running the command. If you have
trouble here, work with your local shell script expert; that’s all
this step is doing.
Once you have that all set and are getting blue results back,
check the output again to make sure that it’s actually doing what
you want it to do. Once you’re assured of that, you’re probably
going to want to automate running this. Back in the
configuration, go to ‘Build Triggers’. You probably want to use
‘Build periodically’ (build it every day or every two hours, for
instance), or ‘Poll SCM’ (build every time somebody checks new
stuff into BitBucket. Rely on the little blue help icons on the
right to walk yourself through this.
I’ll leave the ‘tutorial’ at this point, as the next steps (if
any) depend on what you want to do. There are a set of
‘Post-Build Actions’ that can read the output to determine if
tests passed, publish output from certain files or directories, or
send email to various people when the job finishes (or even just
when it fails). What you’re going to do here depends on what your
needs are, and I can’t possibly cover every possibility.

*Subject:* Jenkins, BitBucket and MatLab on Ubuntu
Hello
I’m new to Jenkins, BitBucket, MatLab and Ubuntu, and I’m in a
project group that needs to run MatLab scripts from BitBucket,
using Jenkins.
Some details:
·Ubuntu 14.04
·MatLab r2014a
·We wish to use the BitBucket Pull Request Builder Plugin
·We wish to use TAP for feedback
What I need, is help to put all of this together.
I’m also sorry to bother you with this request, but after
searching the web for several hours i still have trouble figuring
this out.
Like I said, I’m new to all of this, so it would be nice if you
could explain it like I’m 5.
Best regards
Martin
