Re: [wtp-dev] Failed builds

Chuck,

We have been looking into ways of displaying as much information about the build as possible.  But there are a few challenges:

  • The ant build log xml is currently about 20MB for each build.
  • We tried to filter a reasonable set from this that is dispalyed in the XML Log tab using and xsl:
  • e.g: http://eteration.dyndns.org:8080/cruisecontrol/buildresults/wtp?tab=xmlLogFile&log=log20041207151748  (look at the end)
  • However, when abuild fails this log only have as much information about the failure as the ant task provides. Currently PDE tasks do not provide too much info.  They dump it into workspace .log (Can also be in the range of a few 10s of MB)
  • We typically look ath the XML Log from the reporting app, which you also have access, and learned a few patterns.  For example when it fails in generating build scripts complaining about not finding a plugin, the problem is one of:
    • plugin names have changed or inconsistent across plugin.xml/feature.xml
    • plugin versions have changed or inconsistent acrossplugin.xml/feature.xml
    • plugin is not registered in feature.xml
    • plugin is not in .map file
    • plugin is not in CVS So maybe we can include a simple "text" about the reason for a failure and have a build Troubleshooting FAQ.
      Any other ideas?

      The current build notification doesn't give us any clue whats going wrong.  Unless the results are published to the wtp download site. 

      So we are forced to do local builds here to diagnose.

      Can we improve this?

      Component owners,

      The reason for the build failures is the internet component renaming (i.e.
      plugin.xml ).  Please review your plugins.

                      Currently, wst.*.wsi.* plugins and probably some others have dependencies.
