如何配置 Jenkins，从本地运行代码到从机？

Question

I have a project in Java and I also used Gradle and TestNG . It works perfectly without jenkins.

After that I configured Jenkins and now I can run the code with Gradle command in Jenkins on my Local .

Then I tried to run the code on Slave machine. I can see the Slave machine in Jenkins nodes. I also configured Gradle and Java to run on Slave machine. I have to mention that I don't use Version Control in this project.

When I start the job in Jenkins to run on Slave machine, it starts the job but the problem is, it cannot find for example the gradle.build , as it's located in my Local machine and not in Slave machine.

The question is, should I use Version Control ? is it going to solve the problem? or should I use Copy Artifact Plugin ?

Complementary Question: If I make a local git for my network on the same machine that runs Jenkins, it is going to be a problem?

Thanks for your help:)

Answer 1

Slave machine need your file gradle.build , so either place it there manually by SFTP. If your gradle.build going to change regularly then its prefer to use version control like git by which jenkins will fetch the latest files.

Again its not mandatory but recommended to use version control like git to prevent from unnecessary errors
