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:
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:
0f252139189c3d528bea280172f7f57e2abe9b52 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:
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:
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:
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
