FAQ

Can Buildron show only builds from a view using Hudson or Jenkins?

Yes, it can. In the "Hudson/Jenkins IP" field just type more "/view/viewName" (case sensitive). So, for example, if your server has a IP 127.0.0.1 and you want to see just builds from a view named "Infrastructure", then your IP field will be: 127.0.0.1/view/Infrastructure.

Why I see "0 mods" running Buildron on Mac?

With MacOS Sierra, Apple introduced a new security feature called "Gatekeeper Path Randomization", if you run an app from the Downloads folder, the MacOS will copy the app into a read-only disk image and run it from there instead, so if you are running Buildron from Downloads folder it won't work, because Buildron needs to create some internal folders and files to instantiate the mods.

To solve this problem, just copy Buildron.app to Applications folder.
