Scons Jenkins plugin does not read SConstruct

Question

I am trying to build my C++ project using scons on jenkins which is running on an ubuntu box (running only a master).

I have installed scons from command-line using apt-get and have installed the Jenkins Scons plugin: In the master configuration I have configured the path to the scons binary:

In the job config (freestyle project) I have:

When I run the build I get:

scons: Reading SConscript files ...
scons: done reading SConscript files.

scons: `.' is up to date.
scons: done building targets.
Finished: SUCCESS

but that is not correct. Any ideas why the project/SConstruct located in the root of the workspace is not read/build?

Answer 1

I add the shell script :

first_is_success=`echo $?`
echo $first_is_success
if [ $first_is_success -ne 0 ]
then 
    exit 1
fi

u123,

SCons found your SConstruct file (besides only showing Reading SConscript files). What your log shows is that everything the default SCons target(s) had to build are built already, probably because you built this job before and no source files changed since then.

Try Workspace > Wipe Out Current Workspace in Jenkins and building this job again (Build Now). The log file for the new build must show the full SCons build sequence then.

A nice thing to do is to add a build step with scons -c (Options = -c) before your scons target to clean and force a full rebuild afterwards.
