DevOps Automation

We typically use Jenkins to run our RPT tests automatically, but I’ve come across an issue when running an RPT 10.1 test with Jenkins. Normally when running RPT 9.2 tests with Jenkins we can see the logs and also see any error messages that Jenkins might give us. When opening the logs when running an RPT 10.1 test I do not see all the messages that I normally see, only a few messages. I was wondering if anyone knows why this might be occurring? The log is the CommandLineLog.txt file that Jenkins mentions when you start to run a test.

Hi, It's not clear whether this refers to not seeing messages on the Jenkins build console or the CommandLineLog.txt which would be on the Jenkins agent machine where RPT is installed.

One option they have to troubleshoot is to run the command on the RPT Commandline directly

The Jenkins build console log has the command that is used to invoke the RPT command line. This can be copied and run it in a cmd window on the RPT machine (that Jenkins uses) and see what happens.

Let us know the results

Thank you

Hi,

This is an issue with the CommandLineLog.txt on the Jenkins machine where RPT is installed. How would I find the command on the Jenkins build console log and run it with my RPT machine? Or if there is any documentation you could point me to I would appreciate it. Thanks for your help.

I wish these forums allowed screen shots....

1. log into Jenkins
2. on left hand side click Build History
3. shows table with columns "Build", "Time Since", "Status", and an icon for the console
4. click on the console icon

Hi,

Thanks for the response. Did you copy and paste the bolded part of the text above into the command line on the virtual machine?

this is how to run a test or schedule from the command line, don't need all the arguments

this would suffice:

 "D:\Program Files\IBM\SDP\cmdline\cmdline.bat" -workspace D:\IBM\00000-000-000-Fibonacci -project OpenMic -plugins "D:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\IMShared\plugins" -eclipsehome "D:\Program Files\IBM\SDP" -suite Recordings\Calculator_Add_423.testsuite

Example and all the arguments are here:
