Unable to test Jenkins plugin

Question

I am actually trying to develop a Jenkins plugin using maven but I am unable to test it.

I created my project with the command mvn -cpu hpi:create. I c

Answer 1

In pom.xml, try changing parent to this:

    org.jenkins-ci.plugins
    plugin
    1.454

I just did quick test with that hpi:create, and it worked for me, I got both global and job config things as expected, but I had to do that change to pom.xml, before I got it to compile.

That is, I did:

• mvn hpi:create
• entered groupId foo.hyde.jenkins.plugins, artifactId hello-world when prompted.
• cd hello-world
• mvn install failed
• Edit pom.xml to change the parent
• mvn install succeeded
• mvn hpi:run -Djetty.port=8092 succeeded (Using that port because other Jenkins is already in default port, otherwise -D... not needed.)
• Go to http://localhost:8092, check global config, create job and add the build step

And it worked for me.

I'm using Maven 2, version 2.2.1.
