RE: Build loop hangs when jboss isn't stopped

Thank you for your answer Jeffrey.

 

I used a similar technique: I used the antfetch target that is available in the ant-contrib project (http://ant-contrib.sourceforge.net/).

 

This task allows you to call a task and return certain properties from this outside task. This way I return the failonerror and failonfailure to be able to decide when to fail the tests.

Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated.

 

So the problem is how can you indicate that the tests failed w/out failing the build right?

 

Seems you could probably return the pass/fail status of the tests in a file, and then check that file after you shut down jboss.

Hi,

 

Thank you for your answer but unfortunately, I cannot do the:

    <junit haltonfailure="off" failureproperty="test.failed" ...>

 

    <stopjbosstask>

 

    <fail if="test.failed" message="one or more tests failed" />

process. 

 

The reason being that my "application" build does not launch and stop jboss.  It is the cruisecontrol build that I made which calls it.  Therefore the build that is launched by cruisecontrol looks like:

 

    <startjbosstask>

 

    <ant build="appbuild.xml" target="junit.task">

 

    <stopjbosstask>

 

Inside this "junit.task", I do set the property for the haltonfailure and haltonerror so that I can generate the reports before failing the build.  But still the "ant" call will return "failed" and therefore it never reaches the <stopjbosstask>.

 

Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated.  Does anyone know why cruisecontrol waits for jboss to be closed (I'm not using parallel ant tasks by the way)?

 

Thank you,

 

François

What if you try running it with the same command-line that CC uses?

 

(Can use DEBUG to find that command line: http://c2.com/w4/cc/wiki.cgi?TurnOnDebug )

Instead of doing haltonfailure with your junit task set a failure property, then after jboss is shutdown you can use the fail task to fail if that property is set. http://ant.apache.org/manual/OptionalTasks/junit.html

 

It would be something like:

 

<junit haltonfailure="off" failureproperty="test.failed" ...>

 

<stopjbosstask>

 

<fail if="test.failed" message="one or more tests failed" />

Hello,

 

I am encountering a very annoying problem. 

 

Here is a short resume of what the build that cruisecontrol launches does:

 

- compile

- compile tests

- stop jboss (in case still running)

- launch jboss

- run tests

- stop jboss

If the tests fail during the build, cruisecontrol hangs.  It is waiting for jboss to be shutdown but the build doesn't reach the shutdown of jboss since it fails before.  If I manually kill the appserver (when it is hung) it will resume and complete successfully.

 

If I launch this task manually (eg: ant -f build-SAGE.xml -Dbuild.properties.file=../sage.properties") everything is fine and the build completes (fails but completes) even though jboss is still running.

Why does it hang when launched from cruisecontrol? How can I avoid this?

 

Thank you,

 

François

 

PS: Here is the command in the config.xml of cruisecontrol:

 

            <ant buildfile="build-SAGE.xml"
                 target="all"
                 uselogger="true"
                 usedebug="false"
                 antscript="C:\Java\ant\bin\ant.bat">
                <property name="build.properties.file" value="../sage.properties"/>
            </ant>
