Dynamics CRM Visual Studio Jenkins

I am currently working on a project (CI) on Jenkins. I have to integrate the automatic deployment of my Visual Studio solution which contain Crm Plugin and CrmPackage.

In order to make the deployment automatic, i have a Jenkins Jobs which execute the task :

call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\Tools\vsvars32.bat"

Devenv CrmPackage\CrmPackage.sln /Clean

Devenv CrmPackage\CrmPackage.sln /Build Release

Devenv CrmPackage\CrmPackage.sln /Deploy Release

As my solution is not yet connect to CRM server, i have the error for deploy: "The connection to the Dynamics CRM Server is unavailable.Error: The connection to the Dynamics CRM Server is unavailable."

I can connect and deploy manually with visual studio but i don't know how can i connect the server by command line with vstudio.I am a newbie in Crm deploy and my question is how to connect the Crm server by command line with vstudio.

Check out the xrm-ci-framework. Though it's targeted as being used for CI in VSTS rather than Jenkins, it contains a PowerShell script that can be used to connect to CRM via a connection string, and deploy a package.

You might also consider the spkl task runner for deploying your plugins separately. Spkl is a nuget package that allows you to decorate your plugins and have them automatically compiled and imported into CRM along with their plugin steps by running a .bat file manually, or from your CI build.
