Re: [orbit-dev] [ORBIT-BUILD: orbit-I] orbit-I Build Failed

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'll give a few quick tips, but upfront say it is hard to debug "from scratch" (i.e. not knowing what's changed, etc.).

First, when its something pretty vague (like "Java returned code 13") it does not hurt to simply "try again" ... occasionally, there are burbs in the infrastructure and something just isn't checked out, or something.

Second a good debugging tip is to revert your changes, and make sure it still builds without them. :)

Third, most out-right build failures are due to cvs tagging problems ... such as map says one tag, but that version doesn't exist ... due to typos, etc.

Fourth, there is an easier to read (plain text) "antBuilderOutput.log" produced during the build, but when there is an early, bad error, this log is not saved (so, must be captured during the build ... usually by me ... while the build is in progress). So, if none of the above help, don't hesitate to ask for help here on this list. There's more details that could be said ... but, most committers should not need to read through the build log, so if the above types of actions don't resolve an issue, best to ask the "build master" (i.e. me :).

The current build has gone longer than the failed build, and made it to the signing stage, so not sure if you reverted or fixed something ... or, if it was just one of those burbs ... but I'll keep an eye on it.

And, there could always be areas where we could improve build error handling or reporting ... so, if you see areas for improvement, feel free to open a bug in Orbit's releng component.

HTH, at least a little.

Hi,

I need a piece of advice please. How do you usually go ahead and find out what the reason for the failing build is? The log is not really this helpful or I don’t know how to read it yet. Thanks a lot in advance!


Best regards, Robert
