Class JenkinsRule

    • Field Detail

      • testDescription

        protected org.junit.runner.Description testDescription

      • hudson

        @Deprecated
public hudson.model.Hudson hudson
        Deprecated.
        Points to the same object as jenkins does.

      • jenkins

        public jenkins.model.Jenkins jenkins

      • localPort

        protected int localPort
        TCP/IP port that the server is listening on.

      • server

        protected org.eclipse.jetty.server.Server server

      • contextPath

        public String contextPath
        Where in the Server is Jenkins deployed?

        Just like ServletContext.getContextPath(), starts with '/' but doesn't end with '/'. Unlike JenkinsRule.WebClient.getContextPath() this is not a complete URL.

      • jsDebugger

        protected JavaScriptDebugger jsDebugger
        JavaScript "debugger" that provides you information about the JavaScript call stack and the current values of the local variables in those stack frame.

        Unlike Java debugger, which you as a human interfaces directly and interactively, this JavaScript debugger is to be interfaced by your program (or through the expression evaluation capability of your Java debugger.)

      • useLocalPluginManager

        public boolean useLocalPluginManager
        Deprecated.
        Use pluginManager
        If this test case has additional WithPlugin annotations, set to true. This will cause a fresh PluginManager to be created for this test. Leaving this to false enables the test harness to use a pre-loaded plugin manager, which runs faster.

      • timeout

        public int timeout
        Number of seconds until the test times out. The WithTimeout rule can be used to specify this value per test. In case of debugging session, the default timeout behavior is removed. Otherwise it's set to 3 minutes.

      • NO_PROPERTIES

        public static final List<hudson.tools.ToolProperty<?>> NO_PROPERTIES

      • SLAVE_DEBUG_PORT

        public static final int SLAVE_DEBUG_PORT
        Specify this to a TCP/IP port number to have slaves started with the debugger.

      • MIME_TYPES

        public static final org.eclipse.jetty.http.MimeTypes MIME_TYPES

        Asserts that two JavaBeans are equal as far as the given list of properties are concerned.

        This method takes two objects that have properties (getXyz, isXyz, or just the public xyz field), and makes sure that the property values for each given property are equals (by using MatcherAssert.assertThat(Object, org.hamcrest.Matcher))

        Property values can be null on both objects, and that is OK, but passing in a property that doesn't exist will fail an assertion.

        This method is very convenient for comparing a large number of properties on two objects, for example to verify that the configuration is identical after a config screen roundtrip.

        Parameters:
        lhs - One of the two objects to be compared.
        rhs - The other object to be compared
        properties - ','-separated list of property names that are compared.

        Called during the before() to give a test case an opportunity to control the test environment in which Hudson is run.

        public JenkinsRule withPresetData​(String name)

      • executeOnServer

        public <V> V executeOnServer​(Callable<V> c)
                      throws Exception
        Executes the given closure on the server, by the servlet request handling thread, in the context of an HTTP request.

        In JenkinsRule, a thread that's executing the test code is different from the thread that carries out HTTP requests made through JenkinsRule.WebClient. But sometimes you want to make assertions and other calls with side-effect from within the request handling thread.

        This method allows you to do just that. It is useful for testing some methods that require StaplerRequest and StaplerResponse, or getting the credential of the current user (via Jenkins.getAuthentication(), and so on.

        Parameters:
        c - The closure to be executed on the server.
        Returns:
        The return value from the closure.
        Throws:
        Exception - If a closure throws any exception, that exception will be carried forward.

      • writeReplace

        protected Object writeReplace()

      • createWebClient

        public JenkinsRule.WebClient createWebClient()
        This is to assist Groovy test clients who are incapable of instantiating the inner classes properly.
