• Provision required plugins onto Jenkins instance: make jenkins-init config_path=<path/to/config/dir>, which installs the following plugins:

  • Pipeline Utility Steps plugin

• Approve the following script signatures, unfortunately you currently have to approve these methods manually one by one via prompts on Jenkins log output.

  • method java.net.URI getHost
  • method java.net.URI getPath
  • method java.net.URI getScheme
  • new java.net.URI java.lang.String
  • staticMethod org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.DefaultGroovyMethods drop java.lang.Object[] int

Testing

Testing with remote dependencies

You can run integration test for generating and provisioning Jenkins pipelines using the command make test-integration cicd_type=jenkins platform_type=aws, which downloads the dependencies from the Internet.

Testing with local dependencies

If you're working on the dependencies of AEM OpenCloud Manager and would like to test them as part of pipelines generation and provisioning, you need to:

• Clone the dependency repos AEM Hello World Config at the same directory level as AEM OpenCloud Manager
• Make your code changes against those dependency repos
• Run make test-integration-local cicd_type=jenkins platform_type=aws for integration testing using local dependencies, which copies those local dependency repos to AEM OpenCloud Manager and use them as part of the test
