Running Hudson on developer workstation using working copy of code

I haven't set up Hudson before and I'm hoping someone can tell me if what I want to do with it is feasible or not.

I'm writing code that will collect metrics during a Hudson build. This code will be part o开发者_运维百科f our functional test code for the project. I want to test this code in Hudson before checking the code in so I don't break the Hudson build that the rest of the team uses. I'll also be doing further development, testing, and tuning of the code so having my own Hudson instance as a "development" sandbox will be helpful for that too.

My question has to do with using my working copy of the code in Hudson. Can I set up a local instance of Hudson on my workstation and have it use my working copy of the code base instead of doing a checkout from source control? The code I want to test won't be in source control yet.

Thanks.

I was able to do this in the project configuration by selecting None for SCM and in the shell command section adding a "cd d:\myproj" before running the .bat file that runs my tests.

Yes.

You can select not to fetch from an SCM, specify which Ant build file to run from, which script to run, or which directory to run Maven from - anywhere on your file system.

In addition, you can specify where to pick up test results, collect metrics directly from your code, or collect metrics directly from console output - for publishing in Hudson/ Jenkins.
