If your configuration matrix needs additional axes, you can specify them here.
|
|
<p>
|
|
For example, let's say you are trying to run a test for your database application,
|
|
and you need to test it with three databases: MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Oracle. Your
|
|
build script is designed so that you can test with a particular database by doing
|
|
<tt>ant -Ddatabase=mysql</tt>.
|
|
<p>
|
|
This is the concept of an axis. You can have a variable called "database",
|
|
which takes three values. When you configure it, Hudson will run 3 builds, each with
|
|
different values assigned to the "database" variable to exhaustively cover
|
|
the configuration matrix.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Variables specified here are made available to the build as environment variables.
|
|
In addition, for Ant and Maven, variables are also exposed as properties, as if
|
|
<tt>-D<i>variableName</i>=<i>value</i></tt> are specified on the command line.
|
|
<p>
|
|
When multiple axes are specified, all of the possible combinations of axes are built
|
|
exhaustively. Multiple values in labels and JDKs are treated in the same way. So
|
|
if you specify jdk=[JDK5,JDK6], database=[mysql,postgresql,oracle], container=[jetty,tomcat],
|
|
then each build will consists of 2x3x2=12 different sub-builds.
