Jenkins is an automation tool for builds. Continuous Integration is about taking separate code changes and integrating them together to see how well they play. This is basically testing the complete picture with your code merged in. Jenkins provides automation ability through a server that triggers based off of configured web hooks. These hooks can be applied to a git repository to automatically trigger integration builds and tests.

can we write our own c++ program to interact with other applications on our machine?

[@mazirius11]

Hi, great to see some quality material on good practices using C++. Have you thought about doing more videos regarding DevOps stuff in C++? Jason Turner over at C++ Weekly did some videos on those topics, but I find your presentation abilities far better. It would be great to see a video series from you on good, modern project setup using unit tests, dependencies managers (preferably Conan), CI and maybe even CD. Keep up the good work and stay healthy! Greetings from Poland!

[@tm_digita]

Very easy to follow and learn videos @The Cherno. Thanks for all this. I would like to request if you can make one video about C++ copy and assignment difference . It confuses a lot of people including me. Thanks in advance.

[@RobGirdler]

Thank you for yet another fantastic and informative video. Could I ask, if you are planning on bringing Continuous Integration to the Hazel Engine series? I, and I suspect many other people, would be interested to learn more about how to use C.I. on a larger project where libraries and other dependencies come into play. I also have never got my head around how to use C.I. with applications that are not designed to just give a console output. I am working on a simple engine based around SDL and while I understand C.I. enough to be able to form a build pipeline, I have never understood how to get create a test one, other than something that simply looks for an exit code, either success or failure. Many thanks for all the videos you create, keep up the great work and please keep yourself and family safe during these times.

Congrats on 200k subs. Deserved - this is a fantastic C++ series. Q: Could you do a couple videos on design paradigms, program architecture? More abstract than empirical cases of how C++ works. Error handling philosophy would be a good subject example.

[@jeromeclintonjustin895]

Awesome video as usual man! Can you please do a similar video when you have a bigger project with third-party source code that must be built to create DLL and also static linking is necessary?

I wasn't expecting to hear that EA uses Jenkins. Used that in a Java shop at a bank I worked for.

Is it possible to show how this can be done in conjunction with writing tests please?

[@yekna459]

You forgot to link Jenkins in the description

[@NskLabs]

And here I was expecting to see some analog C++ computation.

[@SeanForeman]

I worked at a healthcare dev shop with automated tests to prevent merges without tests passing and x% code coverage with tests. All of these tests make perfect sense and are easy to implement because the business case is either simulating clicking on web pages or backend tests. When you have a robust test framework with 95%+ code coverage you can sleep well at night as you make changes. I honestly do not know how to test something visually in 3D to make sure it "looks" right. Did you break the 24 hour cycle lighting/weather/ambient sound? How do you test that? I would really like to hear how this is handled in large game dev shops. If you change a framework and all non-visual tests pass, this is no guarantee you have not broken your game in a significant way. This currently forces me to put my game in a variety of test scenarios eyeballing everything to make sure it is fine which is time consuming.

[@ermakamre]

How about CI for C++ on Windows or Mac with third-party dependencies like boost and Qt?

[@lordmushroom723]

imagine having an abstraction over aws/azure

[@FreeDomSy-nk9ue]

Does it have to be on a server? If I am working on my own project that runs on multiple platforms, can't I just do the tests on my local PC?

I know it is out of topic but could u please make a video about CLI? Because when I want to write a Form Application in Visual Studio, I need to deal with CLI and handling operator. So this makes essential C++ things useless such as Dynamic Memory Allocation, pointers and etc.

This! +1

[@kirasmith1147]

It's not that different, you just setup your jenkins file to use MSVC to compile instead, and use windows version of all the shell commands obviously.

[@stevenvanharen]

I am developing on windows, but run my CI on Linux. Use cmake to make your project compile and run on windows and Linux. I started of trying to run CI on windows. Switched to Linux for CI because of the huge docker containers that would be required for windows CI.

[@angela_jx]

I know this is late and I will say I haven’t tried this out myself but using something like wsl might be a good solution for you

[@Stefan-tw3fo]

Have you heard of Jonathan Blow's Jai programming language project ? Pretty interesting stuff imo

[@nextlifeonearth]

Yes, but none of it is public jet and the spec is still far from frozen. I don't think we should consider it until he finishes the game he's working on, freezes the 1.0 spec and makes it public. Until then you should look elsewhere. You could try Odin, which has similar design features, but is already public. It's less thought out though.

Just a note for you mate; if you chmod +x that build file, and then push to git - git stores file flags. So that step isn't needed :)
