Integrating Django with Jenkins

Install Jenkins

Installing Python

Most of the systems with OS like MacOS or Ubuntu already have python installed. You may need to update python to latest version. To do so follow below steps:

Mac:

brew udpate

brew install python3

Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get update

sudp apt-get install python3

Create a folder MyProject in your workspace

Create virtual environment in MyProject as:

virtualenv myenv

start virtual environment as:

source myenv/bin/activate

Install Django

pip install Django

create a project DjangoJenkins

django-admin startproject DjangoJenkins

create an app MyApp

django-admin startapp MyApp

Install jenkins’ plugins:

pip install django-jenkins

pip install pep8

pip install pyflakes

Added jenkins in settings.py:

In the file DjangoJenkins->DjangoJenkins->settings.py->INSTALLED_APPS add django_jenkins

in settings.py add below lines:

PROJECT_APPS = (

‘MyApp’

)

JENKINS_TASKS = (

‘django_jenkins.tasks.run_pep8’,

‘django_jenkins.tasks.run_pyflakes’

)
