Question Jenkins build failures

[Gale Naylor <Ga...@noventussolutions.com>]

When I look at the Jenkins builds in this link (
https://builds.apache.org/user/stain/my-views/view/taverna/) most of the
builds are failing. There was some discussion recently about the
commandline build failing and needing to upgrade Java and Maven -- or
possibly using different servers? I've read the Jenkins wiki and a few of
the introductory articles, but don't yet understand enough of the process
to know the consequences of failed builds.

Is this a concern, or is it something that typically happens and will
eventually be cleared up? It's just that, since we're referencing the
Jenkins builds in our Graduation Maturity Document, it seems odd that most
of the recent ones are failing.

Thanks,

Gale

Thanks, Andy.

I checked on https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/INFRA/JDK+Installation+Matrix

as mentioned on
https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/f6476b1e154c2c9cd8a818aeed8c11e3f77497ac8ed466d7c6b94518@%3Cbuilds.apache.org%3E


We probably now we can use

JDK: JDK 1.8 (latest)
Restrict where this is run: Hadoop||Ubuntu

(It used to be that JDK 8 was not available on all the Ubuntu slaves)

Here's how I do it..

Select a job, e.g.
https://builds.apache.org/user/stain/my-views/view/taverna/job/incubator-taverna-engine/
Configure

Change "JDK" and check Restrct "label" below.
Save
Build Now
wait a bit
check in Build History and find Console to see how it goes.

Repeat for each job :(  (No shared configs in Jenkins!)

Done.

No, I think we need to go through each of them and edit their config
to use a different jdk-1.8 runtime (I think it's just called "openjdk
1.8 (latest)" .

It's just a bit slow and boring as we have to do it through the web
UI, for each of the builds.. :)

I tried doing it but I'm afraid the server went a bit slow tonight..



If you would like to also get Jenkins access (which coul dthen edit
any of the jobs), I think any of our mentors could push the button as
Andy did for me.
