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:
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:
LSE (https://mysqlonarm.github.io/ARM-LSE-and-MySQL/) can have a huge performance difference. Let's ensure we use a compiler that can support it.
Modifications:
Update to gc10 when cross-compiling as it supports LSE and enables it by default
Result:
More optimized builds for aarch64
Motivation:
We need to ensure we also build the modules we depend on as otherwise we may not be able to resolve the dependencies correctly
Modifications:
- Add -am when calling maven
Result:
Deployment works all the time
This brings forward the build and release automation changes from 4.1 (#10879, #10883, #10884, #10886, #10888, #10889, #10893, #10900, #10933, #10945, #10966, #10968, #11002, and #11019) to 5.0.
Details are as follows:
* Use Github workflows for CI (#10879)
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
* Fix non leak build condition
* Only use build and deploy workflows for 4.1 for now
* Add deploy job for cross compiled aarch64 (#10883)
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
* Use correct docker-compose file to deploy cross compiled artifacts
* Use correct docker-compose task to deploy for cross compiled artifacts
* Split pr and normal build (#10884)
Motivation:
We should better use seperate workflows for PR and normal builds
Modifications:
- Split workflows
- Better cache reuse
Result:
Cleanup
* Only deploy snapshots for one arch
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
* Use maven cachen when running analyze job (#10888)
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
* Also include one PR job that uses boringssl (#10886)
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
* Use matrix for job configurations (#10889)
Motivation:
We can use the matrix feature to define our jobs. This reduces a lot of config
Modification:
Use job matrix
Result:
Easier to maintain
* Correctly deploy artifacts that are build on different archs (#10893)
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
* Dont use cron for PRs
Motivation:
It doesnt make sense to use cron for PRs
Modifications:
Remove cron config
Result:
Cleanup
* We run all combinations when validate the PR, let's just use one type for normal push
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
* Update action-docker-layer-caching (#10900)
Motivation:
We are three releases behind.
Modifications:
Update to latest version
Result:
Use up-to-date action-docker-layer-caching version
* Verify we can load native modules and add job that verifies on aarch64 as well (#10933)
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
* Let script fail if one command fail (#10945)
Motivation:
We should use `set -e` to ensure we fail the script if one command fails.
Modifications:
Add set -e to script
Result:
Fail fast
* Use action to report unit test errors (#10966)
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
* Use custom script to check for build failures (#10968)
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.
* Publish test results after PR run (#11002)
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
* Fix test reports name
* Add workflow to cut releases (#11019)
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
* Update build for master branch
Motivation:
The build changes were brought forward from 4.1, and contain many things specific to 4.1.
Modification:
Changed baseline Java version from 8 to 11, and changed branch references from "4.1" to "master".
Result:
Builds should now work for the master branch.
