I have made a Jenkins pipeline for my Angular application. This Angular application uses SSR, so you have to run it in the background.
Thus I decided to use a screen for this, here is my JenkinsFile:
pipeline {
agent any
environment {
HOME = '.'
}
stages {
stage('build') {
steps {
sh 'npm i'
sh 'npm run build:ssr'
}
}
stage('move') {
steps {
script {
if (BRANCH_NAME == 'master') {
sh 'rm -R /var/www/AngularJenkinsTest_Master/client || true'
sh 'mkdir /var/www/AngularJenkinsTest_Master/client || true'
sh 'cp -R $WORKSPACE/dist/AngularJenkinsTest/* /var/www/AngularJenkinsTest_Master/client'
}
}
}
}
stage('publish') {
steps {
script {
if (BRANCH_NAME == 'master') {
sh 'screen -X -S AngularJenkinsTest_Master kill | true'
sh 'screen -dmS AngularJenkinsTest_Master'
sh 'screen -S AngularJenkinsTest_Master -X stuff "node /var/www/AngularJenkinsTest_Master/client/server/main.js\n"'
}
}
}
}
}
}
As you can see in "publish", I kill the screen (as it is running a node application), I then create a new screen and send a command to it.
I added a screen -ls to the end of it, and it did show that it existed, but when I go to my linux console.
jenkins@server:/root$ screen -ls
No Sockets found in /run/screen/S-jenkins.
This is the output that jenkins gives me: Jenkins Output
I am new to Jenkins, so maybe I am just being dumb, but is there any reason for this to happen?
