Jenkins LabVIEW CI

Jenkins shared library for continuous integration with LabVIEW and G-CLI. Includes scripts for static tests (VI Analyzer), unit tests (JKI Caraya), and app builds (executable/installer). Created using LabVIEW 2020 64 bit

---

⚠️ THIS PROJECT IS CURRENTLY A WORK IN PROGRESS ⚠️

👷 The library in its current state is non-functional and serves as example code only 🚧.

Loading this library in a Jenkinsfile:

@Library(['github.com/pfoneill/Jenkins-LabVIEW-CI@main']) _
import com.labviewbuilder

Static Tests

VI Analyzer (requires LabVIEW PRO license) is used to run static code tests using GCLI.

Unit Tests

Unit Tests are built using the JKI Caraya unit tests framework and run using GCLI.

Application Building

LabVIEW Application Builder (requires PRO license) is used to build applications and installers using GCLI.

Dependencies

• LabVIEW 2020 Professional
• GCLI
• JKI Caraya
• VI Analyzer toolkit

Jenkinsfile Examples

Initialize LabVIEW IDE

stage ('Initialize LabVIEW IDE') {
    steps {
        // Clear the compile cache and kill LabVIEW
        retry(2) {
            echo 'Clearing compile cache'
            pwsh "${STEPS}\\ClearCompileCache.ps1 -Timeout 180"
        }
    }
} // Initialize LabVIEW IDE

Build Application

stage ('Build LabVIEW Application') {
    steps {
        echo 'Applying Source package configuration'
        pwsh "${STEPS}\\ApplyVIPC.ps1 -Timeout 360 -VIPCPath '${SOURCE}\\App\\vipkg.vipc'"
        pwsh "${STEPS}\\SetAppName.ps1 -Value ${APPNAME}"
        pwsh "${STEPS}\\SetAppVersion.ps1 -Value ${LATEST_TAG}"
        pwsh "${STEPS}\\SetCommitSHA.ps1 -Value ${COMMIT_SHA}"
        echo 'Building Orion'
        // Optionally set EnableDebugging and WaitForDebugger variables based on context (release, prerelease etc.)
        pwsh "${STEPS}\\Build.ps1 -ProjectPath ${LVPROJ} -BuildSpec ${BUILDSPEC} -DestinationDir ${BUILD_DIR}\\${BUILDSPEC} -VersionString ${LATEST_TAG}"
    }
} // Build LabVIEW Application

Build LabVIEW Application Installer

stage ('Build LabVIEW Application Installer') {
    steps {
        echo 'Building Orion Installer'
        pwsh "${STEPS}\\Build.ps1 -ProjectPath ${LVPROJ} -BuildSpec ${INSTALLERSPEC} -DestinationDir ${BUILD_DIR} -VersionString ${LATEST_TAG}"
    }
} // Build LabVIEW Application Installer
