问题
I'm using VirtualBox plugin on jenkins, to launch different builds retrieving sources from Git. I would like the environment on each VM to be clean by restoring a snapshot before starting them for a build.
I tried several things as https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Slave+Setup+Plugin. Finally I don't think it it's a good solution as it is called after the git repository being clone... But I also tried to launch the slave "via the execution of a command on master", that takes as parameter the name of the vm and calls this script:
VBoxManage registervm "C:\Users\mfauvet\VirtualBox VMs\%1\%1.vbox
VBoxManage controlvm %1 poweroff
VBoxManage snapshot %1 restore SetEnvironment
VBoxManage startvm %1
ssh 192.168.120.1 -p 1310
But I have the following error:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins>"C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe" registervm "C:\Users\mfauvet\VirtualBox VMs\Jenkins-Ubuntu13.10\Jenkins-Ubuntu13.10.vbox"
VBoxManage.exe: error: Trying to open a VM config 'C:\Users\mfauvet\VirtualBox VMs\Jenkins-Ubuntu13.10\Jenkins-Ubuntu13.10.vbox' which has the same UUID as an existing virtual machine

Does someone know how I could solve this ? Or is there a better way to restore a snapshot on my vm before launching them via Jenkins ? Thanks for reading
回答1:
I got this working, admittedly with VMWare.
Steps I took
- add swarm plugin to master
- Setup virtual machine and add swarm client
- make sure client connects - will be in nodes in master
- take snapshot with the slave client running (or initiate it on startup)
- create a job on master which runs on your swarm slave
- add multijob plugin to master create multijob project with normal steps to revert the VM
- add a multijob phase
- add the swarm slave job into the multijob phase
When running the job, the swarm slave job will wait for the VM to start before submitting jobs to it
