             Summary: Distributed builds now create results before initiating builds
                 Key: CONTINUUM-2753
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONTINUUM-2753
             Project: Continuum
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 1.4.2
            Reporter: Brent N Atkinson
            Assignee: Brent N Atkinson
             Fix For: 1.5.0


This is a placeholder for reporting how build results handling has changed in 1.5.

Previous to 1.5, there was a difference between distributed vs local builds in how build results were created. Local builds created the result before starting the build phase and after preparing, running the scm update and detecting changes. In contrast, distributed builds were only creating build results at the end of the build (when the build agent reported the final build result back to the master). Because there was no actual build result, special handling was required to mimic local build behavior, including, but not limited to drilling into and viewing the running build.

Continuum 1.5 simplifies (complexity and intuitiveness) the way build results and numbering are handled by:

  * always creating a build result when initiating a build, distributed or otherwise
  * always incrementing the project-scoped build number for an attempted build, regardless of outcome (CONTINUUM-2752)
