Build Unity project with Jenkins failed

Question

I'm trying to build Unity project with Jenkins on Mac OS Server. But when I try to run the following script

/Applications/Unity/Unity.app/Contents/MacOS/Unity -quit -batchmode ${PROJECT_PATH} -executeMethod BuildScript.DevelopmentBuild

The script shows this,

_RegisterApplication(), FAILED TO establish the default connection to the WindowServer, _CGSDefaultConnection() is NULL.

Does anyone knows how to fix the problem?

Solution 1

Try write from Terminal:

sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.jenkins-ci.plist
sudo mv /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.jenkins-ci.plist /Library/LaunchAgents/org.jenkins-ci.plist

Then log out and log in again.

Now Jenkins will run as agent and can access WindowServer.

Solution 2

Make sure you have -nographics parameter among your startup parameters

Solution 3

I tried

sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.jenkins-ci.plist

sudo mv /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.jenkins-ci.plist /Library/LaunchAgents/org.jenkins-ci.plist

Then Restarted my Mac

And then sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchAgents/org.jenkins-ci.plist after restarting

It worked

I tried with --projectPath option as Unity -batchmode -quit -projectPath "${UNITY_PROJECT_PATH}" -executeMethod BuildScript.DevelopmentBuild. But won't build.

I had to restart my machine after this change. Logging out and logging in wasn't enough. Also I don't have Jenkins configured to run on machine startup, so I had to run sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchAgents/org.jenkins-ci.plist after restarting.
