Jenkins Plugin question

[McKool]

Hello,

AI, Version 12.1

apology if this is is a silly question, but I'm trying for the first time jenkins and advanced installer plugin.

First of all, I'm able to compile my project when I directly start AI from the server side. When I trigger the Jenkins job for the setup, I get following error:

Code: Select all

FATAL: java/nio/file/Paths
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: java/nio/file/Paths
	at caphyon.jenkins.advinst.AdvinstDescriptorImpl.getAdvinstComPath(AdvinstDescriptorImpl.java:158)

	at hudson.model.ResourceController.execute(ResourceController.java:98)
	at hudson.model.Executor.run(Executor.java:374)

Could somebody tell me, what am I missing here?

Thanks in advance...

Hello Keneth,

In order to use the Advanced Installer plugin for Jenkins you need a Java machine with version 1.7 or higher.
The error you have specifies that a certain class is not found, and this error usually appears when using an older version of Java.

Please check on your machine the Java version and update if necessary.
If the problem persists, please let us know.

Do not hesitate to ask any other questions.

Kind regards,
Irina

Thanks, indeed we have here an older version.

Nevertheless, I have decided to use the AdvancedInstaller command line instead. In this matter I have a new issue. I have several Merge-Module projects and I need to set the version of them using the command line too. For a normal Msi project I use the /SetVersion command, but this not work for merge modules. Could you please tell me which property or command I need to use in order to change the version number of a merge module project?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I'm still waiting an answer to my last post. Maybe you are overseen my question there?

Could you please tell me which property or command I need to use in order to change the version number of a merge module project?

or should I make a new post about the command line question?

Please let me know, and thanks in advance for your appreciated help,

Hello Keneth,

Sorry for the late reply. We had some days off as national holidays.

Unfortunately, we do not have support for this command.
Please take a look at these Merge Module options that are supported by our command line interface.

Kind regards,
Irina

Hello,

thanks for your answer. Would you consider adding a new command for the version of msm projects in the new version of AI? The version number is very important, specially when using automation (as using your Jenkins plugin, or the command line).

Thanks,
Keneth

Hello Keneth,

Indeed, versioning is very important.
I've added your request on our TODO list and such an improvement will be added in a future version of Advanced Installer.

Thank you for your suggestion and your understanding.

Kind regards,
Irina
