Django Continuous Integration With Jenkins Jenkins 2.0+ Pipeline Script
Example
Modern versions of Jenkins (version 2.x) come with a "Build Pipeline Plugin" that can be used to orchestrate complex CI tasks without creating a multitude of interconnected jobs, and allow you to easily version-control your build / test configuration.
You may install this manually in a "Pipeline" type job, or, if your project is hosted on Github, you may use the "GitHub Organization Folder Plugin" to automatically set up jobs for you.
Here's a simple configuration for Django sites that require only the site's specified python modules to be installed.
#!/usr/bin/groovy
node {
// If you are having issues with your project not getting updated,
// try uncommenting the following lines.
//stage 'Checkout'
//checkout scm
//sh 'git submodule update --init --recursive'
stage 'Update Python Modules'
// Create a virtualenv in this folder, and install or upgrade packages
// specified in requirements.txt; https://pip.readthedocs.io/en/1.1/requirements.html
sh 'virtualenv env && source env/bin/activate && pip install --upgrade -r requirements.txt'
stage 'Test'
// Invoke Django's tests
sh 'source env/bin/activate && python ./manage.py runtests'
}
