Valgrind

Integrates Valgrind in Jenkins.This Plugin integrates Valgrind (memcheck to be exact) into Jenkins by providing:

• Valgrind Runner: to run valgrind with your executables
• Valgrind Publisher: to record valgrind xml reports

Those two things work independently from each other. So if your build system already calls valgrind (as part of your unit tests or whatever) just use the publisher to record and analyze the xml reports.

Feedback, bug reports and feature requests are highly appreciated, just create a JIRA issue or drop me a email.

Change Log

Release 0.28 (March 06, 2018)

• added ability to substitue source paths (thx J-cztery) 
• fixed several findbugs warnings (thx tern-nils)
• added pipeline support (thx wulkop)
• fixed problem with short valgrind arguments

Release 0.24 (November 24, 2014)

• fixed include/exclude patterns being relative to working directory, patterns are now always relative to workspace (fixed JENKINS-24971). This change might break some configurations!
• generated report files are automatically excluded from executables
• added option to the runner to generate and display suppression information for easy use in suppression files (fixed JENKINS-16218)
• added option to the runner to use suppression files
• added option to the runner to remove all old report files from workspace before running valgrind (useful if you are not doing a clean checkout)
• added environment variable PROGRAM_DIR that contains the directory of the executable currently under test (useful for setting the working directory or other stuff relative to the executable)
• requires Jenkins 1.480

Release 0.23 (November 23, 2014)

release failed, version skipped

Release 0.22 (September 16, 2014)

• fixed: don't crash on invalid input data

Release 0.21 (August 31, 2014)

• fixed 'Ignore Exit Code' setting (JENKINS-16859)

Thanks to Prunier Charles-Yves!

• added publisher option to fail build on missing xml report files (JENKINS-24256)
• added publisher option to fail build on invalid xml report files (JENKINS-24256)

Release 0.20 (August 23, 2013)

• greatly improved memory footprint (only affects new builds)

Thanks to Marco Miller (Ericsson) and Jakub Pawlaczyk!

• fixed: wrong error names on Process Details page
• fixed: wrong/missing number of leaked bytes for some errors

Release 0.19 (March 03, 2013)

• fixed: multiple arguments for executable did not work

Release 0.18 (October 23, 2012)

• added exclude pattern for executables
• added option to ignore valgrind exit code
• added support for older valgrind versions (tested with 3.1.1, 3.2.0 and 3.7.0)

Release 0.17 (September 23, 2012)

• fixed null pointer exception on empty error list

just a test, no changes

Release 0.15 (September 18, 2012)

• added valgrind option "--track-origins"

• fixed handling of multiple valgrind and program command line options

Release 0.13 (September 14, 2012)

Thanks to Alexandre Sanches from Thales!

• fixed: name of configured valgrind executable didn't show up

Release 0.9 (June 24, 2012)

• expand configuration strings with env vars (to support parameterized builds via ${my_var})
