run sikuli with jenkins and git

It may be able to run through the task scheduler .
Monika's environment is different from my environment , So it may not work. I don't use git.

[my environment:]
PC: Windows7
Sikuli: SikuliX 1.1.0
In my case , the following error has occurred .

[error] Location: outside any screen (14697792, 14697792) - subsequent actions might not work as expected
Then I run a script through the task scheduler , I was sure that it works .

[task scheduler setting:]
Give an appropriate name to the batch file , to register the task .
  For example , I named abc to the task .

[Jenkins setteing:]
Register the schtasks command as the build procedure .
  schtasks /run /tn abc

I will definitely try that, but I'm not sure how exactly you did that. ( I'm still learning a lot about programming etc.)

Could you give me more detailed reproduction steps of your solution? :)

What script did you use ad where do i put in the schtasks command in Jenkins?

Thank you for your answer!

There is a script named "xyz.sikuli" in "C:\Script".

[prepare batch file]
Create a batch file named "xyz.bat" to run the script from command line.

C:\SikuliX\runsikulix.cmd -r C:\Script\xyz.sikuli

[task scheduler setting]
Register "xyz.bat" as the task named "abc".

[Jenkins setteing]
Register the schtasks command as the build procedure.

schtasks /run /tn abc

I use Windows 10 with sikulix 1.1.1 and can't find the xyz.sikuli file there. You know where it may be ?

or do you mean xyz sikuli is the file i am working on?

also jenkins doesnt recognize the schtask /run/tn test (my task is called test) command. where do i have to put that command?
i put it in the configuring of my item. (item -> configure -> build -> execute windows batch command -> schtask/run/tn test)

Did i do anything wrong ? :/

Thanks masuo, that solved my question.

I received another strange behaviour, jenkins tries to run the sikuli script via the batch file. I did like masuo said, i made a batch file with this:

ECHO OFF
ECHO %time%
call "C:\Users\Monica Srdic\Desktop\sikulixTest\sikulix.jar" -r "C:\Users\Monica Srdic\Desktop\sikulixTest\stringTest.sikuli\stringTest.py"
ECHO %time%
ECHO done
PAUSE

and I wrote this command in jenkins to execute the task which contains the batch file:
test.bat

But jenkins runs infinitely, did i miss something?

Why did you use "call" , "sikulix.jar" , "stringTest.py"?

How to run SikuliX from Command Line
http://sikulix-2014.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq/010-command-line.html

So batch file should be like this.
"C:\Users\Monica Srdic\Desktop\sikulixTest\runsikulix.cmd" -r "C:\Users\Monica Srdic\Desktop\sikulixTest\stringTest.sikuli"

Why did you use "PAUSE" ?

I just tested stuff because i didnt have this runsikulix.cmd file,
but i will get it and try like that thanks :)

pause was only for debug purposes

that happens when i use that batch file like you said:

The environment at the time the SikuliX starts in the Jenkins context, there seems to be no valid screen definition.

Usually Jenkins runs in some "headless" (no real screen) environment in the background.

Look in the net for appropriate solutions to set up some fake-screen in your specific environment (like xvfb or similar)

okay i will try, thanks!
do i have to set it in sikuli? or do i need an additional environment for that?

SikuliX is not aware off anything outside.

You have to setup an environment on the Jenkins machine, that behaves as a local real machine as seen from SikuliX.

ohhh okay... will a VM be enough or does it explicitly have to be setup in jenkins?

is a xvnc pulugin in jenkins enough? :O

I do not have enough experience, to help you further.

Check other net resources (e.g. stackoverflow.com) for the gory details.

SikuliX runs in any environment, that has a Java 8 implementation and gives Java the idea, that it runs on a real screen.

hmmm okay still thanks for your help! :)

Here are some tips

1. fix your script by removing pause command - test that it works fine and completes as expected without any user interactions
2. seems you have set up jenkin job - this is ok
3. you need to setup a VM(Or real machine). Make sure there is active UI all the time. You need to turn off any screensavers and etc
4. make sure your jenkins slave is running in the UI session of the VM
5. test your script on the VM

you are ready now to run your jenkins job
