Presentation on Android Build Automation (a bit dated).

Transcript

1. Android Project Automation Friday, February 19, 2010
2. What we need To be able to successfully implement TDD/BDD we need a fully automated build and testing process We want to use already available, low maintenance and cross platform tools Friday, February 19, 2010
3. The Goal: CRISP builds Complete Repeatable Informative Schedulable Portable Friday, February 19, 2010
4. Create a project In Eclipse using ADT Alt. using the android tool directly Friday, February 19, 2010
5. ANT on Android clean, compile, install, etc. build.xml default.properties build.properties local.properties (-> SDK) Friday, February 19, 2010
6. Create ANT-files Require AndroidManifest.xml android update project -s -p /Project ... android update test-project -m /Project -p Project/ TestProject Friday, February 19, 2010
7. Project folders and files ./src ./lib ./res ./TestProject AndroidManifest.xml build.xml default.properties local.properties (not under source control) Friday, February 19, 2010
8. /TestProject folders and files ./src ./lib ./res AndroidManifest.xml build.xml default.properties build.properties (-> Project; CI if relative path) local.properties (not under source control) Friday, February 19, 2010
9. Subversion Add projects to repository Developers CI/CO in Eclipse using Subclipse plugin CO on Continous Integration Server via Ant (using svnant, <svn>...</svn>) Friday, February 19, 2010
10. CruiseControl Install Download n’ Unzip -> /opt/cruisecontrol-bin-2.8.3 Create /etc/init.d/cruisecontrol (CC_WORK_DIR=/ builds -> builds/config.xml) sudo /etc/init.d/cruisecontrol start http://localhost:8484/ Friday, February 19, 2010
11. /builds folders and files ./checkout (Checked out projects end up here) .injects/local.properties (-> CIS’ SDK) .injects/Project/TestProject/build.properties (-> Project) (you may skip and just use a relative path to Project and checkin) ./logs (Logs end up here) ./artifacts (You can make CC store build artifacts in a ordered way) ./svnant-1.3.0 (Used to checkout from SVN repo in ANT) cc-build-Project.xml (delegating ANT build file) config.xml (CruiseControl config file) Friday, February 19, 2010
12. cc-build-Project.xml ANT-file initiated by CruiseControl from config.xml Clean away old builds and CO the project local.properties for the build server is copied to both Project and TestProject after checkout Initiates checked out build.xml to build and test the project Friday, February 19, 2010
13. Example cc-build-Project.xml Friday, February 19, 2010
14. cc-build.xml in action Friday, February 19, 2010
15. config.xml Tells CruiseControl what to do for every included <project> ... </project> Checks SVN-repository for modifications and initiate builds and tests using appropriate cc- build-Project.xml Save build status, logs and artifacts Publish notifications on failed and fixed Friday, February 19, 2010
16. Example config.xml Friday, February 19, 2010
17. Reporting http://ciserver.wslnd.tactel.se:8484/dashboard/ (Done) “Blame-mail” to team members (In progress) Info on intranet/project website (In progress) Friday, February 19, 2010
18. Release latest build always available in builds/checkout/ Project/artifacts Friday, February 19, 2010
