Jenkins CI

Jenkins continuous integration server on ci.px4.io is used to automatically run integration tests against PX4 SITL.

Overview

• Involved components: Jenkins, Docker, PX4 POSIX SITL
• Tests run inside Docker Containers
• Jenkins executes 2 jobs: one to check each PR against master, and the other to check every push on master

Test Execution

Jenkins uses run_container.bash to start the container which in turn executes run_tests.bash to compile and run the tests.

If Docker is installed the same method can be used locally:

cd <directory_where_firmware_is_cloned>
sudo WORKSPACE=$(pwd) ./Firmware/integrationtests/run_container.bash
