I've created a hudson job for our maven multi-project with 5 modules to deploy the SNAPSHOT artifacts to the maven repository. That's ok, as long as it builds successfully without test failures. However, now I'd like to fulfill the following requirements:
When a module has a test failure, the build should continue bulding and test the other modules, but turn yellow. Using -Dmaven.test.failure.ignore=true accomplishes, but fails at the next requirement.
When a module has a test failure, none of the artifacts should be deployed to the maven repository. Other projects depend on the snapshots this project and those projects only want to use the latest snapshots that don't have any failing tests.
Preferably, use the hudson maven integration instead of a free script we get the hudson report pages (red/yellow/blue status per module, build log error coloring, ...). Specifically running the maven build twice (first mvn test -Dmaven.test.failure.ignore=true, than mvn deploy -DskipTests) is not a solution because it's a performance loss and it confuses the hudson report pages and it's not atomic (it updates from the repositories again in the second build).
Is there any way to accomplish this?
There is an post build option called Deploy artifacts to Maven repository. If you do not select Deploy even if the build is unstable, then that mean if test fails, it won't deploy anything. Together with the -fae in the command, thing should work in your desired way
maybe you can try use mvn -fae option with you jobs on hudson - it make maven fail only after full build
If build time isn't a problem for you, I think the better option is to create another job, just for deploying. Something like this:
Configure your original job (let's call it "build job") with "mvn -fae clean install"
Create a new job ("deploy job") with "mvn deploy", and don't configure any Build triggers for it
In the "build job", enable the Build other projects option, under Post-build actions and set it to run your "deploy job".
Maybe you can try to configure both jobs to use the same workspace, saving some time on the whole build/deploy process.
If you happen to use Artifactory as a repository manager, you can use the Hudson/Jenkins Artifactory plugin to deploy your artifacts. This plugin will only deploy your artifacts if all tests pass for all modules of a Maven build.

I'm using Azure DevOps for CI/CD and for CI portion, I want to package the entire project and the CD portion will execute the tests from the jars
I can't seem to generate the executables though. I am using PageObject model so my layout for my maven project is as such
---src/main/java
-------PageObject
---src/test/java
------>tests here
My goal in Azure DevOps is to make sure the code compiles and package up the tests and drop them into an artifact. The release will then run the tests from this artifact. I don't want to drop the entire repo into the artifact, rather just the binaries (so whatever is in the ~/target/ folder.
It seems that when I try to compile, there are not any jars that are created.
I do not want the CI portion to execute the tests; simiply package up the artifact is my goal here.
How do I run several buildsteps after each other in IntelliJ? I think I want a mini CI/CD build system inside the editor.
For example, the project I work on now is a Spring boot and javascript web site. I need to build it with maven with mvn clean package -Pdockerimage. This copies files for building the Docker image to target/dockerimgbuild.
Then I want to build the docker image using docker build -t scheduling-ui-dev . and after that run it with docker compose docker-compose up --build from src/main/resources/docker-compose.
I have built one run configuration for each of these steps but how do I run them after each other? I have found that you can have before launch but the system is clunky and complains if target/dockerimgbuild doesn't exists even before it have run the maven step which creates it. Latest problem I stumbled on was that a file prevented maven from removing target/dockerimgbuild and all run steps was automatically removed from the run configurations.
There is a run configuration called compound but that runs everything in parallell and you can not specify order which is a problem.
I wonder if it is feasible to start TeamCity in a container, do anyone have a clue about that (is teamcity easy to configure, how to make it launch a docker-compose container on my host machine etc)?
My solution right now is to have several terminals (if this gets more permanent I will replace it with a script) where I just press up and enter to execute the steps manually. Seems stupid as I guess maven itself can do all of this...but I don't know how or how much work it is.
There is a compound Run/Debug configuration: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/run-debug-configuration-compound-run-configuration.html
Also, there is a multi-run plugin: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/7248-multirun
Is it possible to configure a deployment project with optional 'Artifact Download' task?
The artifact comes from another plan which has 2 stages producing 2 artifacts. If only 1 stage is executed, it will have 1 shared artifact. I want my deployment project to run even there is only 1 artifact.
But bamboo fail the whole execution with error: "Unable to download artifact Shared artifact: ..." trying to locate the 2nd artifact.
How can I tell Bamboo to ignore the missing artifact and continue the execution?
The only way I've figure this out is to instead of name an artifact, put all of the artifacts into a "directory" as part of the build process, say "artifacts/", and define the artifacts as "artifacts/**". Then on the Deployment side, be clever about manipulating the artifacts for deployments.
Note, in my case, I have an issue with multiple branches for the same build (think, "future release", "current release", "legacy release") that may have different artifacts on them (either new features in "future release", or aged off artifacts from "legacy release"). I had to wrap the actual deployments into a script that was "smart enough" to just iterate through artifacts that actually existed for a given deployment environment.
I'm not completely happy with Bamboo's treatment of special cases for artifact management at all. In fact, I've found that judicious use of the "script" task in Bamboo (and managing those scripts in some external git repo) seems to be the only real way to manage larger Bamboo installations in general.
In maven, what does "-e" stands for in the following command.
mvn -e clean install
Moreover, what is the difference between
mvn clean install
and
mvn clean compile
As Satish stated, the "-e" switch will display execution errors in the maven output.
As to the difference in "install" vs "compile", those are different Maven lifecycle stages. See the Introduction to the Build Lifecycle documentation for help with that. The key to remember is that Maven will execute all lifecycle stages up to and including the one you specify, and then stop.
Specifically in your case, "mvn clean compile" will run Maven with two lifecycle targets, the first being "clean", and the second being "compile". The "compile" lifecycle phase will run the build up to and including the compilation of project source code. The "install" lifecycle phase will run all the way through packaging your project into it's container (jar, war, etc) and will install it to your local maven repository, which resides on your local machine. When a project is installed to your local repository, other projects you build on your machine can reference it without having to have any knowledge of where the source code or project build artifacts actually reside.
the e flag (e = errors) prints out more detailed error messages.
mvn clean install, does compilation, linking and installs (copies to app server etc)
for more maven options look at this ref card
http://www.scribd.com/doc/15778516/DZone-Refcard-55-Apache-Maven-2
or maven command list
http://cvs.peopleware.be/training/maven/maven2/mvnCommand.html
mvn clean install - First, cleans already compiled class files (probably in target/ directory). Then, it compiles the classes, generate the jar, and then install the created jar to your local m2 repository (probably located at ~/.m2/repository/).
mvn clean compile - The clean does the same thing as above. And, then, it compiles the java files in the project. And, stops there. It doesn't create the jar nor install anything to the local maven repository.
-e switch will display the stack-traces occur when your build is failed. It's a normal stack-trace that java programs produce when exceptions occur. Do note that Maven itself is a Java program.
I have an artifact abc which has some tests. I have different versions of abc within my repository. I now want to be able to run the latest tests against the 'old build' of the project.
I tried to add the artifact itself to the test dependencies but this (of course) results in a cyclic reference error of the maven reactor when building the tests via:
mvn compiler:testCompile
mvn surefire:test
Is there any smart way to run tests against a previous old build/artifact?
Must i create a new pom.xml in which i define the solo test execution?
Or should i add a postfix to my current artifact when executing the tests? (This would avoid a cyclic reference error)
Separate the tests out into a separate module/project that depends on the classes it tests. Then create separate profiles where you change the dependency to be on older releases.
The problem I foresee with what you're trying to do is that the package phase comes after the test phase of the maven lifecycle. Which to me implies that maven runs unit tests against the compiled classes and not the physical jar file (generated in the package phase). You'll therefore have to replace the contents of the projects /target/classes folder with the classes in the "older" jar.
