Setting up Jenkins with a remote Github for Minecraft plugins

Question

I am trying to set up Jenkins to automatically build when I push to github. My environment is as follows :

1) I code in eclipse on my laptop. (windows) 2) I push from my laptop to http://github.com/myaccount/plugin 3) My jenkins is on a vps. (windows)

Is it possible to do this?

When inputting my repository, I am getting the following error :

Failed to connect to repository : Could not init C:\\Windows\\TEMP\\hudson53570147835241625tmp

I have force polling workspace enabled, and still getting the error.

Answer 1

It is possible.

In jenkins:

• define git SCM for your repo URL
• in build triggers choose 'Poll SCM' (without scheduling)

In github

• go to your repo Settings->WebHooks and Services
• define a webhook to post to http://<your_jenkins_server>/git/notifyCommit?url=<your_repo_url>

Now push to your repo and see your build triggered.
