Motivation:
We should not use master as branch name, better to switch to main
Modifications:
Replace master branch name with main
Result:
Use main as replacement for master
Motiviation:
The workflow from the default branch is the one that gets to run for all PRs, regardless of what branch they are targeting.
This means the 4.1 PR Reports workflow needs to tollerate master branch PRs, where there is no Java 8 builds.
Modification:
Make the PR Reports tolerate that the Java 8 matrix fails if they are missing.
Result:
Hopefully we'll get working PR Reports for master branch PRs now.
Motivation:
This workflow has been broken for a couple of months now.
It would be nice if we could get junit test reports back in out PR checks.
Modificatoin:
Fix a test matrix typo.
Update workflow action versions.
Result:
Hopefully the PR Reports workflow starts working again.
Draft until it actually does work. There are probably several things wrong that will take time to work through.
Motivation:
As JDK17 is really close to be released we should add a CI job for it to ensure netty works correctly when using it.
Modifications:
Add docker config and workflow config to run CI job for JDK17
Result:
Ensure netty works on JDK17 as well
Motivation:
We the build failed we should ensure we also include hs_err* files as it may have failed due a native crash
Modifications:
Adjust path matching to include hs_err as well
Result:
Easier to debug native crashes
Motivation:
Currently the PR verification takes a lot of time. We should try to only run builds for the affected modules in most cases to speed up the build.
Modifications:
Adjust docker files and workflow to only run build for affected modules for a lot of jobs while still run full builds for windows + java11 with BoringSSL
Result:
Hopefully quicker feedback loop when verify PRs
Motivation:
At the moment we always build all modules. This script can be used to only build affected modules for a given change
Modifications:
Add script that will only build modules that are affected by a change
Result:
More targeted build
Motivation:
Native image compatibility is fragile and breaks easily, so we need a PR build to tell us when this happens.
Modification:
Add a graalvm-based build to the PR build matrix.
Result:
Every PR is now also tested on Graal.
Motivation:
When Maven does not run in batch mode, it will continuously print its progress as it downloads dependencies.
This can produce a very large amount of log output, that makes it harder to debug build failures.
Modification:
Make all Maven builds run in batch mode by adding the `-B` command line flag, and have transfer progress suppressed with the `-ntp` flag.
Some builds were already running batch mode but had the flag in a different location – these have had their `-B` flag moved so all builds are consistent.
Result:
Much less output in our build logs where Maven is just downloading stuff.
Motivation:
Let's also build on windows during PR validation
Modifications:
Add build on windows during PR
Result:
Validate that all also pass on windows
Motivation:
Just use MAVEN_OPTS to setup all the timeouts etc for dependency downloads. This way we at least can be sure these are applied.
Modifications:
- Use MAVEN_OPTS
- Remove ci profile
- Remove unused settings.xml file
- Always use ./mvnw
Result:
Build stability improvements
Motivation:
We should setup the caching so it will be able to use different restore keys and so almost never need to start from scratch
Modifications:
Adjust caching config to make use of different restore keys for maven caching but also docker caching
Result:
Better cache usage
Motivation:
We should use the same maven cache for all builds so we can re-use as much of the downloaded maven dependencies as possible
Modifications:
- Just use the same cache for all
Result:
Hopefully be able to re-use most of the dependencies
Motivation:
0f25213918 introduced some properties that were used to make builds more stable on the ci. All of these properties were duplicated everywhere, this made it hard to maintain
Modifications:
- Add profile which sets the properties.
- Just use the profile when build on the ci
Result:
Easier to maintain custom properties for the ci build
Motivation:
It seems like it is a known issue that maven frequently sees connection reset / connection timeout during CI builds. We should workaround these issues like others did:
- https://github.com/kiegroup/kie-wb-common/pull/3416
Modifications:
Add extra maven options during build to reduce the likelyness of timeouts / resets
Result:
More stable builds
Motivation:
The last non-LTS release is JDK16 now.
Modifications:
Update from JDK15 to JDK16 for building as this is the last non-LTS release atm
Result:
Build with latest non-LTS release as well
Motivation:
In the past we did see problems sometime when run-on-arch-action was used. We are multiple releases behind, lets update and so maybe fix the problems.
Modifications:
Update to latest release
Result:
Use latest run-on-arch-action release
Motivation:
It turned out we didnt run the openssl tests on the CI when we used the non-static version of netty-tcnative.
Modifications:
- Upgrade netty-tcnative to fix segfault when using shared openssl
- Adjust tests to only run session cache tests when openssl supports it
- Fix some more tests to only depend on KeyManager if the underlying openssl version supports it
Result:
Run all openssl test on the CI even when shared library is used
Motivation:
Newer versions of dawidd6/action-download-artifact changed the default
workflow_conclusion from "completed" to "completed, success" which can
result in download failures if the associated job fails, which is
expected when tests fail.
Modifications:
- Explicitly set the workflow_conclusion to "completed"
Result:
Test failures which result in build failures will still download test
data and generate reports after updating
dawidd6/action-download-artifact.
Motivation:
Doing releases manually is error-prone, it would be better if we could do it via a workflow
Modification:
- Add workflow to cut releases
- Add related scripts
Result:
Be able to easily cut a release via a workflow
Motivation:
To make it easier to understand why a build failed let us publish the rest results
Modifications:
Use a new workflow to be able to publish the test reports
Result:
Easier to understand why a PR did fail
Motivation:
It turns out we can't use the action to check for build failures as it can't be used when a PR is done from a fork. Let's just use our simple script.
Modifications:
- Replace action with custom script
Result:
Builds for PRs that are done via forks work again.
Motivation:
To make it easier to understand why the build fails lets use an action that will report which unit test failed
Modifications:
- Replace custom script with action-surefire-report
Result:
Easier to understand test failures
Motivation:
As shown in the past we need to verify we actually can load the native as otherwise we may introduce regressions.
Modifications:
- Add new maven module which tests loading of native modules
- Add job that will also test loading on aarch64
Result:
Less likely to introduce regressions related to loading native code in the future
Motivation:
Let us just only use one build config when building the 4.1 branch.
Modifications:
As we already do a full validation when doing the PR builds we can just only use one build config for pushes to the "main" branches
Result:
Faster build times
Motivation:
We need to take special care when deploying snapshots as we need to generate the jars in multiple steps
Modifications:
- Use the nexus staging pluging to stage jars locally in multiple steps
- Add extra job that will merge these staged jars and deploy these
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/10887
Motivation:
When validating PRs we should also at least run one job that uses boringssl
Modifications:
- Add job that uses boringssl
- Cleanup docker compose files
- Fix buffer leak in test
Result:
Also run with boringssl when PRs are validated
Motivation:
To prevent failures to problems while downloading dependencies we shoud cache these
Modifications:
Add maven cache
Result:
No more failures due problems while downloading dependencies
Motivation:
We need to find a way to deploy SNAPSHOTS for different arch with the same timestamp. Otherwise it will cause problems.
See https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/10887
Modification:
Skip all other deploys then x86_64
Result:
Users are able to use SNAPSHOTS for x86_6
Motivation:
We should also deploy snapshots for our cross compiled native jars.
Modifications:
- Add job and docker files for deploying cross compiled native jars
- Ensure we map the maven cache into our docker containers
Result:
Deploy aarch64 jars and re-use cache
Motivation:
We should just use GitHub Actions for the CI
Modifications:
- Adjust docker / docker compose files
- Add different workflows and jobs to deploy and build the project
Result:
Don't depend on external CI services
Motivation:
Printing download progress in the build log makes it harder to see what's wrong when the build fails.
Modification:
Change the maven command to not show transfer progress, also enable batch mode so Maven don't print in colors that we can't see anyway.
Result:
More concise code analysis build logs.
Motivation:
Github now allows to run CodeQL during pull request verification. This allows to detect errors / security problems early.
Modification:
Add config
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/10669

Motivation:
Netty homepage(netty.io) serves both "http" and "https".
It's recommended to use https than http.
Modification:
I changed from "http://netty.io" to "https://netty.io"
Result:
No effects.
