gulp serve not working in jenkins

Question

I have my jenkins set up for a web app I built with next script:

gulp
gulp serve &

If I use ampersand('&'), it works fine, but the job doesn't end, and if use '&', I can't look for the listening port but it ends successfully. What I want to do is, that when the job finishes, another job comes and tests it. Any way to achieve this?

Answer 1

Try using nohup. It will creates nohup.out in case you need logs for it.

nohup gulp serve
