Integration bower install with Jenkins

[thomaspons]

The integration with Jenkins doesn't work : error code 128 !!

And the https hack doesn't work too ...

Any idea ?

Thx to you,

Tom

What version of git is installed (git --version)?

[thomaspons]

It's 1.7.10 version.

[wibblymat]

Ok, lets back up a bit and get some more information then. What exactly are you seeing? Is there any output other than "error code 128"?

When on the box with Jenkins, what happens if you try a bower install jquery in a new project?

What exactly did you do for the "https hack"?

[thomaspons]

This is the complete stacktrace

�For the hack it's just the command line : git config --global url."https://".insteadOf git://

[tfitch]

Can you verify the config change was applied to the jenkins user's git account. Just running the git config --global url."https://".insteadOf git:// on the machine won't apply it for everyone. It has to be run by jenkins.

So when, running as the jenkins user, you run git config --list is url.https://.insteadof=git:// in the list of config changes for Jenkins?

[thomaspons]

It's in the list for the Jenkins user ...

url.https://.insteadof=git://

In fact this config is in the git config file project so it's everywhere for all users ...

[thomaspons]

Update : it works if Jenkins is on a linux server ! But not on a windows server :/

[mallim]

I have no problem running bower under Jenkins.

1. If Jenkins is running under a Windows Service, make sure it is logon as Administrator or equivalent user
2. Make sure the Administrator account or equivalent user can run bower install on command line

[satazor]

Follow @mallim suggestions, I will reopen if necessary.

Hi, I cannot execute bower in Jenkins environment:

+ bower install

path.js:360
        throw new TypeError('Arguments to path.join must be strings');
              ^
TypeError: Arguments to path.join must be strings

Here my shell task:

npm install
bower install
grunt clean package

npm and grunt work...

I'm executing this in Jenkins on a CentOS 6 with bower 1.0.

Any ideas?

Hi , I am facing exactly the same problem mentioned by "sebastiendavid" with the same environment. Executing 'bower install' from terminal runs without any issue. But from Jenkins Environment is the problem.

[satazor]

@sebastiendavid this is a problem in the configstore module. I've submitted a PR: yeoman/configstore#7

[sebastiendavid]

Yes, if I set the HOME environment variable in Jenkins, it works.

Thanks!

[sindresorhus]

this is a problem in the configstore module

No it's not, $HOME is an expected environment variable by most tools including git, tig, etc, but as usual we happily work around bugs in system configurations and other tools :)

I find it surprising that Jenkins doesn't set this for you. Sounds like a bug in Jenkins to me.

[SatadruBhattacharjee]

After setting the HOME env variable, It worked for me as well.

Thanks @sebastiendavid

If any 1 else is facing the same issue , just use
export HOME="/root" (I am running jenkins in root user, it may differ for you)
before executing "bower install"

[sindresorhus]

Can anyone open a ticket on Jenkins about this?

[SatadruBhattacharjee]

@sindresorhus , Yup created an Issue on Jenkins
https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-19094

How to set HOME environment in Jenkins on Windows?

[allwinac]

It is been a very long time. but when I check this issue there is no solution given for Jenkins on windows. In my case I have Jenkins and Jenkins Slave installed on Windows Servers. I get the same issue with bower install
bower install jquery
bower jquery#* not-cached git://github.com/jquery/jquery-dist.git#*
bower jquery#* resolve git://github.com/jquery/jquery-dist.git#*
bower jquery#* ECMDERR Failed to execute "git ls-remote --tags --heads git://github.com/jquery/jquery-dist.git", exit code of #128 fatal: unable to connect to github.com: github.com[0: ...]: errno=No such file or directory

What I did to resolve, is the same solution that is given as resolution for #128.
git config --global url."https://".insteadOf git://

Only thing is I add this line before calling bower restore!. In my case I use, NPM, Gulp, bower integrated with .net MSBuild. So I added the above config command before calling MSbuild Rebuild.

This may not be the right solution. I am just a beginner. advice if there is anything other good solution.
Thanks
