This page documents the interface between the Jenkins front end
and the Fuego core engine.

== Environment variables passed during a build ==

=== Built-in Jenkins variables for shell script jobs ===
; BUILD_ID: The current test run id, such as "2005-08-22_23-59-59" (YYYY-MM-DD_hh-mm-ss)
; BUILD_NUMBER: The current test run number, such as "153".  This appears to be selected as the next numerical number in sequence, by the Jenkins system, at the start of a job.
; BUILD_TAG: String of "jenkins-${JOB_NAME}-${BUILD_NUMBER}". Convenient to put into a resource file, a jar file, etc for easier identification.
; BUILD_URL: Full URL of this test run, like http://server:port/jenkins/job/foo/15/
; EXECUTOR_NUMBER: The unique number that identifies the current executor (among executors of the same machine) that's carrying out this test run. This is the number you see in the "test executor status", except that the number starts from 0, not 1.
; JENKINS_HOME: The absolute path of the directory assigned on the master node for Jenkins to store data.
; JENKINS_URL: Full URL of Jenkins, like http://server:port/jenkins/
; JOB_NAME:  Name of runned test or test suite, such as "foo" or "foo/bar". In Fuego, this will be something like: ''Functional.foo'' or ''Benchmark.bar''
; JOB_URL: Full URL of this test or test suite, like http://server:port/jenkins/job/foo/
; NODE_LABELS: Whitespace-separated list of labels that the node is assigned.
; NODE_NAME: Name of the slave if the test run is on a slave, or "master" if run on master.  In the case of Fuego, this is the board name (e.g. 'beagleboneblack')
; WORKSPACE: The absolute path of the directory assigned to the test run as a workspace.  For Fuego, this is always ''/home/jenkins/buildzone''

=== Fuego variables passed from Jenkins interface ===
These variables are defined in the job definition for a test:
; Device: This is the target board to run the test on.  Note that this is selected by the end user from the output of getTargets.groovy
; Reboot: Indicates to reboot the target device '''before''' running the test
; Rebuild: Indicates that build instances of the test suite should be deleted, and the test suite rebuilt from the tarball
; Target_Cleanup: Indicates to clean up test materials after the test ends
; TESTPLAN: This has the name of the testplan used for this test job.  Note that this selected by the end user from the output of getTestplans.groovy. (example value: testplan_default)


=== Variables from the target definition (config.xml for the board) ===
; BOARD_OVERLAY : path to the board file.  This comes from Jenkins config.xml for the target that was selected for the test.  (example: boards/beagleboneblack.board)
; DISTRIB : indicates the distribution file for the board.  This comes from Jenkins config.xml for the target that was selected for the test.  It's primary purpose is to select the logging features of the distribution on the target (to indicate whether there's a logger present on target).  The value is often 'distribs/nologger.dist'




= From Fuego to Fuego =
; FUEGO_ENGINE_PATH: path to the root of the fuego engine. (usually /home/jenkins)
; FUEGO_PARSER_PATH: path to the parser directory (usually /home/jenkins/scripts/parser)
; OF_BOARD_FILE: full path to the board file
; OF_CLASSDIR: full path to the overlay class directory (usually /home/jenkins/overlays//base)
; OF_CLASSDIR_ARGS: argument specifying the overlay class directory (usually '--classdir /home/jenkins/overlays//base')
; OF_DEFAULT_SPECDIR: path to directory containing test specs (usually /home/jenkins/overlays//test_specs)
; OF_DISTRIB_FILE: path to the distribution file for the target board (often /home/jenkins/overlays//distribs/nologger.dist
; OF_OVFILES: FIXTHIS - document what OF_OVFILES is for
; OF_OVFILES_ARGS: FIXTHIS - document what OF_OVFILES_ARGS is for
; OF_ROOT: root directory for overlay generator (usually /home/jenkins/overlays/)
; OF_SPECDIR_ARGS: argument to specify the test spec directory (usually '--specdir /home/jenkins/overlays//test_specs/')
; OF_TESTPLAN_ARGS:
; OF_TESTPLAN: full path to the JSON test plan file for this test (often /home/jenkins/overlays//testplans/testplan_default.json)
; OF_TESTPLAN_ARGS: argument specifying the path to the testplan (often '--testplan /home/jenkins/overlays//testplans/testplan_default.json')
; TEST_HOME: home directory for the test materials for this test (example: /home/jenkins/tests/Functional.bc)
; TESTDIR: base directory name of the test (example: Functional.bc)
; TRIPLET: FIXTHIS - document TRIPLET

== Scripts to detect Fuego data - boards, tests, etc. ==
These are scriptler programs, referenced in the test definitions inside Jenkins:

 * getTargets.groovy - produces a list of targets
   * list is created by reading the list of Jenkins 'slaves'
   * is used to generate the list of variables seen by the user when manually executing a test
   
 * getTestplans - produces a list of testplans
   * list is created by reading the files in /home/jenkins/overlays/testplans and finding the files ending with '.json'
   * takes argument of 'test_name'
   * value chosen by user is value of 'TESTPLAN' for a test run
 * getTests.groovy - gets a list of tests for populating the Jenkins interface
   * list is created by scanning the list of Jenkins instance items and matching the items starting with 'Run', 'Service' and 'Matrix'

These are located in ''/home/jenkins/fuego/plugins-conf/scriptler/scripts''

= From Fuego to Jenkins =
 * FIXTHIS - add interface to perform Jenkins operations from the scripts
 * To abort a job, fuego does:
   * wget -qO- ${BUILD_URL}/stop
   * this is called by common.sh:abort_job()
 * To check if another test instance is running (do a lock check), fuego does:
   * wget -qO- "$(cat ${LOCKFILE})/api/xml?xpath=*/building/text%28%29"
     * LOCKFILE was previously set to hold the contents: ${BUILD_URL}, so this resolves to:
       * wget -qO- ${BUILD_URL}/api/xml?xpath=*/building/text()
   * this is called by functions.sh:concurrent_check()

== Jenkins-cli interface ==
You can run jenkins commands from the command line, using the pre-installed jenkins-cli interface.  Note that Fuego does not use this interface (that I can tell).

jenkins-cli.jar is located in the Docker container at:
{{{
   /var/cache/jenkins/war/WEB-INF/jenkins-cli.jar
}}}

== Scripts to process Fuego data ==

=== Groovy Postbuild ===
In Fuego, Jenkins has the Groovy Postbuild plugin installed.

Every test is configured to run a postbuild script, which augments
the information in the system for the test run.

There is code in a test job configuration, to run the script:
/home/jenkins/scripts/postbuild.groovy

A parameter to this script is a "manager" object, which provides APIs
for createSummary(), addErrorBadge(), and addShortText()

These are used to add extra information to the run instance:
  abort reason - if Fuego errored out
  firmware revision - in all cases
