Core interfaces in 'raw' format

{{TableOfContents}}
This page documents the interface between the Jenkins front end
and the Fuego core engine.  See also [[Variables]]

= From Jenkins to Fuego =

== Environment variables passed during a build ==

=== Built-in Jenkins variables for shell script jobs ===
; BUILD_ID: The current test run id.  As of (at least) Jenkins version 2.32.1, this is the same as the BUILD_NUMBER.
; 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 ''/fuego-rw/buildzone''.  Note that this comes from "custom workspace" setting in the job definition.

=== Fuego variables passed from Jenkins system configuration ===
The following variables are defined at the system level, and are passed
by Jenkins in the environment of every job that is executed:
; FUEGO_RO: The location where Fuego read-only data (configuration, boards and toolchains) are located.  Currently '/fuego-ro' in the docker container.
; FUEGO_RW: The location where Fuego read-write data is located (directories for builds, logs (run data), and other workspace and scratchpad areas).  Currently '/fuego-rw'.
; FUEGO_CORE: The location where the Fuego script system and tests are located.  Currently '/fuego-core'.

=== Fuego variables passed from Jenkins job definition ===
These variables are defined in the job definition for a test:
; Device: This is the target board to run the test on.
; 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_PreCleanup: Indicates to clean up test materials left from a previous run of the test, before the test begins.
; Target_PostCleanup: 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)
; TESTNAME: has the base name of the test (e.g. LTP vs Functional.LTP)
; TESTSPEC: This has the name of the spec used for this test job
; FUEGO_DEBUG: can have a 1 to indicate verbose shell script output




= From Fuego to Fuego =
; DISTRIB : indicates the distribution file for the board.  This comes from
the board file. 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/nologread.dist'
; 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

== deprecated ==
The following variables are no longer used in Fuego:
; FUEGO_ENGINE_PATH: (deprecated in Fuego 1.1 - use '$FUEGO_CORE/engine' now)
; FUEGO_PARSER_PATH: (deprecated in Fuego 1.1)

= 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
}}}

See https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Jenkins+CLI for information

== Scripts to process Fuego data ==

=== Benchmark parsing ===
In Fuego, Benchmark log parsing is done by a python system consisting
of parser.py (from each test), dataload.py and utility functions in
''fuego-core/engine/scripts/parser''

See [[Benchmark parser notes]], [[parser.py]], [[reference.log]] and [[Parser module API]]

=== Postbuild action===
In Fuego, Jenkins jobs are configured to perfrom a postbuild action,
to set the description of a test with links to the test log (and possibly
plot and other files generated in post-processing).
