We've wired our Jenkins builds to call endpoints on a sinatra app to report the builds outcomes. The sinatra server is running on a Raspberry Pi, the RPi then commands an Arduino over USB to blink, fire office alarms and play Star Trek epic sounds (well, not that all) when a build is red!

This was our Innovation Week 09.2014 at XING's contest.

Installation

ssh to the RPi and run:

$ artoo arduino install
$ artoo install socat

Get the address of the arduino:

$ dmesg # on a raspbian install

[   12.566256] usb 1-1.2: new full-speed USB device number 4 using dwc_otg
[   12.701183] usb 1-1.2: New USB device found, idVendor=2341, idProduct=0043
[   12.709892] usb 1-1.2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=220
[   12.720395] usb 1-1.2: Manufacturer: Arduino (www.arduino.cc)
[   12.727731] usb 1-1.2: SerialNumber: 5533033393035161B1D1
[   13.643661] cdc_acm 1-1.2:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device

ADDRESS_OF_ARDUINO in the example is ttyACM0

Run the "server"

ssh to the RPi and run:

$ artoo arduino connect ADDRESS_OF_ARDUINO 8023 > artoo.log 2>&1 &
$ ruby lib/robots.rb > robots.log 2>&1 &
$ ruby lib/server.rb > server.log 2>&1 &
# example address is `/dev/cu.usbmodem1411`, but you might need to drop `/dev/` part

Setup jenkins

Jenkins should call the sinatra endpoint after every build reporting the build outcome.

Our simplistic approach so far is to add 2 Post-build tasks that find the status from the build log, one finds FAILURE in the log the other finds SUCCESS, then call curl http://RASPBERRRY-IP:4567/builds/jobs?status=success for the success case, and curl http://RASPBERRRY-IP:4567/builds/jobs?status=failure for the fail case.

TODO

redirect outputs to logs in the commands above or better use foreman
fix the network flickering problem
add an index to sinatra to list the builds
