Hi *,

We build a Eclipse RCP application with Buckminster. Everthing is working fine, but we want to improve the Jenkins-Job execution time.

Our Buckminster commands file looks similar to this:
setpref targetPlatformPath=...
resolve ...
resolve ...
build ...
emma ...
emma ...
emma ...
emma ...
emma ...
emma ...
emma ...
emma ...
emma ...
perform -D target.os=* -D target.ws=* -D target.arch=* ...#site.p2
perform -D target.os=win32 -D target.ws=win32 -D target.arch=x86 ...#create.product.zip
perform -D target.os=win32 -D target.ws=win32 -D target.arch=x86_64 ...#create.product.zip
perform -D target.os=linux -D target.ws=gtk -D target.arch=x86 ...#create.product.zip
perform -D target.os=linux -D target.ws=gtk -D target.arch=x86_64 ...#create.product.zip

What I want to do is to split this in two buckminster runs, e.g. one for the emma commands and one for the perform commands, without to do the build stuff twice.

Is there a possibility to do that? Can I set somehow the build directories?

Thanks for your help,

Raphael

Hi

You can specify most directories with buckminster (please have a look at
the documentation); if I understand correctly, it should be enough to
"point" to the same Buckminster eclipse workspace and source folders to
run tests without rebuilding the sources...

That would mimic, for example, opening a workspace with Eclipse, doing a
full build, close Eclipse, rerun Eclipse opening the same workspace and
run the tests (without needing to recompile).

hope this helps
Lorenzo

Hi Lorenzo,

A short look in the documentation shows me, that I can set the workspace with '-data' !

So all I have to do is:
$ ~/buckminster/buckminster -data buckminster.workspace --scriptfile commands.txt

What's confusing me a little bit is that my command line help doesn't show the '-data'-flag. Here is the help text:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ ~/buckminster/buckminster --help
Help text for buckminster:
This is the common launcher for commands.

A number of options can be set in common for all commands. Use '--' to end
parsing of options in case of ambiguity.

usage: buckminster
[{ -? | --help }]
[--displaystacktrace]
[{ -L | --loglevel } <loglevel> ]
[--notrapctrlc]
[{ --scriptfile <filename> } | {<commandname> [<commandflags>]}]

Try "buckminster listcommands" for a list of available commands.

-?
--help
Show this help text

--displaystacktrace
Also prints the stack trace in case of an exception.

-L <loglevel>
--loglevel <loglevel>
Set log level to one of NONE, ERROR, WARNING, INFO, or DEBUG.

--notrapctrlc
Turn off trapping of Ctrl-C (SIGINT). This may lessen the ability to cancel
ongoing work in a predictable manner.

-S <filename>
--scritpfile <filename>
Read commands from a file. The following rules apply:
- If the file contains $property or ${property} constructs, they will
be expanded as follows:
- If the property is prefixed with env: the remaining part will be expanded
as an environment variable (requires Java 5 or later).
- All other properties are expanded using the Java system properties.
- If java 1.5 or newer is used, the file may contain $env or ${env} entries
to denote environment variables.
- Backslash is interpreted as escape character so Windows filenames must be
escaped.
- Strings within single quotes are passed verbatim to the executor.
- Strings within double quotes are scanned for environment variable
substitution.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nevertheless the flag is working fine!

Thanks for your help!

Raphael

I think that it does not appear there because it's a "standard" eclipse
command line argument, and buckminster is an eclipse product.

You can pass -data to eclipse on the command line to specify the workspace.

Lorenzo
