How to integrate Bamboo build plan with Jenkins test job?

[Shai]

Hi 

We use Bamboo On Demand to build and deploy our projects.

We also use a local Jenkins to run Selenium Webdriver tests on a deployed system. 

Now, i want to be able to automate the flow: 

1. Build a project
2. Deploy to sandbox
3. Trigger Jenkins to run the tests
4. Bamboo build should pass / fail according to tests results retrieved from Jenkins

Questions: 

1. How to trigger Jenkins ? I know i can use the script task and call Jenkins API. Any better way? 
2. Once I triggered Jenkins, how Bamboo knows when test task complete? 
3. How can Bamboo fetch the tests results from Jenkins? I know it have a Junit parser task, Not sure how to fetch the XML result file generated in Jenkins to Bamboo. Again, Jenkins provide API to fetch results can I use it and just parse the result my self in another bamboo script? 

Thanks !

Hello,

Was there a solution for this issue to call Jenkins test job from Bamboo??

Thank you,

Can you setup the Selenium web driver tests within Bamboo itself using a command line interface?

My test must run on Win / Mac OS. Last time i tried to run the tests from Bamboo itself it failed because it was impossible to use Bamboo's agent on my machines.
