Jenkins Build

[Amila Jayasekara <th...@gmail.com>]

Hi All,

During past few weeks, Jenkins build is continuously failing while
build is successful in our local machines. I had been trying to figure
out a cause for the failure but couldnt figure out a proper cause so
far. Jenkins is failing randomly during the build.

Mostly it is failing when running credential-store tests, but i cannot
recreate this in my machine. Further if I disable tests it will fail
in some other module.

Now we have come to a level where we ignore Jenkins failures. (which
is not good).

I suggest we work on a hackathon to fix Jenkin build failure until we
get continuous successful builds.

I have following suggestions;

1. In the build server the build path has a space - "Apache Airavata".
 But most of our local checkouts does not have folder paths with
spaces. Unless we have a specific requirement to test code with paths
which contain spaces, I suggest modify jenkins checkout path without
spaces.

2. Build is mostly running on a Solaris machine. - I am not sure
whether this has any affect. We should test our code against a Solaris
machine.


Thanks
Amila
