Improve your workflow efficiency by learning how to integrate Bubble.io with Jenkins through our easy, step-by-step guide.
Jenkins is an open-source automation tool primarily used for continuous integration and continuous delivery pipelines. It's written in Java and facilitates the testing and reporting on isolated changes in a larger code base in real time. This allows developers to find and solve defects in a code base rapidly, thereby improving software quality. Jenkins supports version control tools like Subversion, Git, Mercurial, and Maven, and provides an easy way to automate deploying code.

This guide will help you to integrate Bubble.io with Jenkins, making it easier for you to deploy and manage your projects.
Make sure to have the following before you start:
First, Jenkins needs to be up and running. If Jenkins is installed on your local machine, the default address is usually http://localhost:8080/. If not, use the correct URL to navigate to your Jenkins dashboard.
You'll need to install some plugins before you begin. To do this, navigate to Manage Jenkins > Manage Plugins. Here, you will see a list of available plugins. Install the following:
Make sure also that the necessary plugins for building your project are installed (like Node.js plugin if you're using JavaScript).
Your Bubble.io project needs to be sent to GitHub:

Deployment > Development > push to the branch.Note: You'll need to have your GitHub account linked. If you haven't done that, do so by going to Account > Settings > Linked accounts.
New Item.Freestyle project, then click OK.General, provide a brief description of your project.Source Code Management, select Git and enter the URL of your GitHub repository. Leave the credentials blank if your repository is public. Otherwise, add your GitHub credentials.Build Triggers, you can choose how you want the build to be triggered. If you want the build to start every time you push changes to your code, select GitHub hook trigger for GITScm polling.Build, select Execute Shell. Here, you can write the specific steps that should take place when your project is built. This would vary based on your project. It could be installing dependencies, compiling code, running tests, etc.Save.Settings > Webhooks.Add Webhook.Payload URL, input https://<your-jenkins-url>/github-webhook/.Content type, choose application/json.Just the push event option.Active then Save.Congratulations! Jenkins is now connected to Bubble.io through GitHub. For every push to the GitHub repo, a new build will be triggered in Jenkins.
Here is a tip: to see the console output of a running or completed build, click on the little down arrow next to the build number on the Jenkins dashboard, and select Console Output. This can be extremely helpful for debugging build and deployment issues.
Scenario: An application development startup wants to streamline its application testing cycle. They use Bubble.io to create a custom application and they want to ensure every update or change in the application is properly tested. The business team decided to use Jenkins; a popular open source automation server that enables developers to build, test, and deploy their applications. Now, they need to make an integration between Bubble.io and Jenkins to iterate quickly on their application by automating all the testing and deployment tasks.
Solution: Integrating Bubble.io with Jenkins
Application Development: The startup uses Bubble.io to create their application, complete with custom workflows and user interfaces. Bubble.io's intuitive, no-code platform enables the team to build quickly and iterate based on user feedback.
Setting Up the Integration: The IT department of the startup sets Jenkins to link with their repository in which they have their Bubble.io exported code. They configure Jenkins to automate builds and integrations, whenever any new commit is made.
Automated Build and Testing: After every change in the Bubble.io application, the team exports and pushes the new version of code to their repository. Jenkins pulls this new commit automatically and builds the application to verify if the latest changes have broken anything.
Deployment: If the build is successful, Jenkins deploys the application to a staging environment for further testing. Upon receiving a pass from the QA team, the application is automatically deployed to production.
Continuous Monitoring and Feedback Loop: Jenkins runs scheduled builds even when there are no new commits to continually check the health of the application. Any build error is immediately reported back to the development team.
Benefits:
By integrating Bubble.io with Jenkins, the application development startup can effortlessly manage their application testing and deployment tasks, ensuring every update is reliable and robust, thus, ultimately driving better user satisfaction.
