In the first part of this series, we have seen how to install and make the Jenkins up and running.

In this part, we will integrate the framework with Jenkins to trigger the test cases. First of all, start your Jenkins server by executing the war file in the local in the cmd window before you hit the localhost URL, switch to Java version 11[supported], then write java -jar jenkins.war and hit enter. It will start your server on local host:8080

And, you will see the Jenkins up and running in the browser window.

Provide your login details which you created at setup, and click on the sign-in button.

Creating first job/project in Jenkins

Click on New Item on the dashboard page.

Enter the Project name, select Freestyle Project and click on the OK button

Once you click on OK, it will take you to the Configuration page there you need to click on Advanced under General Section and select the Use custom workspace checkbox

Now, provide the Path location of the Eclipse Project that you wish to Run, in the Directory.

Paste the location in the Directory

Now, go down to the Build Section and select Invoke top-level Maven targets.

Provide the same command that we used in Running Test cases with the Maven article

test verify -Dcucumber.filter.tags="@AddBook"

Save the project

Running your project in Jenkins. To run your test cases, click on Build Now and go to the console output.
