running server and tests as a job

[prasanna santhanam]

I have a situation where I need to run a bunch of tests on a server that is running and listening for HTTP requests:

Jenkins Job: runs an ant target - "ant run-server". Server starts up on a jenkins slave and waits for requests. On this same slave I need to run the target "ant run-tests" that will run the tests against the server that started up. How does one achieve this considering that the job that builds and runs the server doesn't actually complete?- so there's no "Build Successful" before a post build testing task can be carried out on it.

Jenkins does not solve this problem for you. You have to find your own way outside of Jenkins to start your server and run your tests.
