jenkins：Windows XP，Windows 7从站无法执行命令

Question

I have a Arch Linux master that drive 2 arch linux slaves, 1 windows xp slave and 1 windows 7 slave. Linux part is all ok, I managed in some way to start windows slave using automatic execution and slave.jar. I have an external program that need to be executed and it's installed on c:\\program files (x86) on windows7 and on c:\\programs on windows xp. I went on path variables and inserted the two path on the two systems, but when I try to run jenkins build it says "command not found"

I tryed to place 2 bat files in c:\\ poining to the right place, based on every system, but it says c:\\build.bat command not found. I can see the file in the right place...

How do you manage executables placed in different places on different computers? there's a better way to run the program? I can change everything about this installation, the only thing I need it to find a way for starting that program.

thank you for your help.

Answer 1

Have you verified that the changes you made to the system path were actually saved? Make sure both of the slaves have been rebooted and then test this via a standard command line window.

If the program you're trying to execute is actually on the path, you could also look at the Envfile Plugin .

Answer 2

在将新路径添加到环境变量PATH之后，您需要重新启动jenkins从属服务，以使其能够使用这些新PATH。

Answer 3

I solved the problem changing the way jenkins start the job on the slave. I used "Execute shell" and some program are executed. I changed "Execute shell" with "Execute windows batch command" and everything works fine.
