• Quiet Period Feature

  Commits often come in a burst. This seems to happen mainly for two reasons — people sometimes forget to commit some files, and in the tranquility of waiting for your SCM to finish a commit, people sometimes realize the problems in the commit and they quickly make follow-up changes. The conventional wisdom is that the CI server should wait for the burst...

• Hosting your Hudson plugin at Github

  For as long as Hudson’s had a plugin model and development community, we’ve provided source code and binary hosting through our Subversion repo at java.net. But what if you’re a plugin developer and you don’t want to use Subversion? Well, we have an alternative for your source code: host it with Hudson on GitHub. To get this in place, send an...

• A Python Love Story: Virtualenv and Hudson

  Over the past year Hudson has grown tremendously, both within the Java community and outside of it. Partially thanks to (Titus Brown)'s PyCon 2010 Atlanta coverage of continuous integration for Python (which we’ve covered before), Hudson has made great strides within the Python community as well. In my experience, the majority of Python developers are not using Hudson to build...

• Pre-tested commits with Git

  At the first Bay Area Hackathon in mid-2009, the topic du jour was "pre-tested commits." As potential implementations of the concept were discussed over burgers from Brickhouse in downtown San Francisco, we realized as a group a few things: first, those burgers were delicious, but more importantly: pre-testing commits is very-SCM dependent and involves a lot of moving parts. One...

• Screencast: Python on Hudson (Part 1)

  After Hudson got some major publicity at PyCon Atlanta 2010 I haven’t been as quick as I would have liked with Python-related posts and tutorials. I use Hudson to build and test a number of pure Python modules and C extensions across numerous Python versions (covering 2.4 - 3.1). For most beginners, or those simply looking to get started with...

• Getting started: Building Android apps with Hudson

  In this post I’ll show a very basic tips on how to compile an Android project using Hudson. Specifically how I use Hudson to create release versions of my apps. Debug vs Release I’m assuming that you are using Eclipse with the ADT plugin. During development you can test your app on the emulator or a device and resources like R.java...

• Keeping your configuration and data in Subversion

  We all know that keeping important files in version control is critical, as it ensures problematic changes can be reverted and can serve as a backup mechanism as well. Code and resources are often kept in version control, but it can be easy to forget your continuous integration (CI) server itself! If a disk were to die or fall victim...
