configuring display number range for Xvnc plugin?

[Feuer, Adam]

Hudson folks,

Hi, we're using Hudson here at Amazon Fresh (http://fresh.amazon.com).
It's great!

Some of our builds use Xvnc and Selenium to run acceptance tests. This
works great, as long as no-one is ssh'd into the build box. This box is
a shared box, so that happens more often than we want.

The Xvnc plugin defaults to having its displays to start at :10. This is
a problem for us, as our sshd starts its X port forwarding at :10 too.
For a variety of reasons, we can't change the sshd configuration.

I looked at the code for this, and it's just hard coded to use :10 ...

http://fisheye5.cenqua.com/browse/hudson/hudson/plugins/xvnc/src/main/ja
va/hudson/plugins/xvnc/DisplayAllocator.java?r=1.2

How would I make this configurable? I know I could just rebuild with a
different hard coded number, but we don't want to make private
modifications to the build that we would then have to make each time a
new version of Hudson came out.

Any ideas?

cheers

We would need to improve the plug-in to make the first display number a
global configuration option. You can see the general style in the
plug-in since it already has an option for setting the Xvnc command
line. Please file an RFE in the Hudson issue tracker, and if you really
want this, a patch would be great!

Jesse,

We do want this, I will file an RFE, and can submit a patch too, I will
need some help with integrating the setting into the UI.

Should I join the developers list to get help there?

Sure. I think this one should be pretty easy but didn't look at it long.

Yes.

Thanks,
