[cbi-dev] Building GitHub Pull Request on Eclipse's Jenkins

[Jonah Graham]

Hi folks,

What is the state of the art for building GitHub PRs on Eclipse Jenkins
instances?

I can see that GitHub pull request builder plugin
<https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/GitHub+pull+request+builder+plugin>
has
a "You should probably migrate to GitHub Branch Source Plugin" and a "The
current version of this plugin may not be safe to use" messages.

The GitHub Branch Source Plugin
<https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/GitHub+Branch+Source+Plugin> seems
to be up to date, so presumably that is the one to use.

Trawling through Bugzilla I can see that in the past
<https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=531165> the former was
installed, and that Bug 439145
<https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=439145> is currently open
request the feature - but that may simply predate the move to Jenkins.

Thanks
Jonah

Hi Jonah,

There is still a bit of momentum behind the GitHub pull request builder
plugin. The mentioned security issue and the necessary steps to fix it
are better explained in the security advisory here:
https://jenkins.io/security/advisory/2018-03-26/#SECURITY-261.

It can be used in freestyle jobs and has no pipeline support. I'd say
it's the right plugin if a project wants to build pull requests of a few
GitHub projects.

The GitHub Branch Source Plugin is more of a "build all you have on
GitHub" plugin, where a GitHub organization with all it's repos and
branches are monitored, etc. AFAIK it only works with pipeline jobs.

To sum it up: GHPRB plugin is probably the first step towards GitHub
based development. The GitHub Branch Source Plugin comes into play when
a project decides to switch to pipeline builds.

Regards,

Fred

Hi
alternatively to this plugin you can also use Jenkins multibranch
pipelines. (We use it a lot for our projects (ex:gemoc multibranch job
<https://ci.eclipse.org/gemoc/job/gemoc-studio/> on ci.eclipse.org and
corresponding jenkinsfile
<https://github.com/eclipse/gemoc-studio/blob/master/Jenkinsfile> on
github ))
However, this means that you need to convert your jenkins configuration
from the Jenkins user interface to the jenkinsfile syntax and add it in
the git repo.
Best regards
Didier Vojtisek
