With so much hassle using buildbot, would it be possible to set up another build server like Jenkins?

We use it here at ecomify and have none of these issues with OFBiz.

Michael

Ah also, normally Buildbot should only send email when the status change, from good to bad or reverse.

And it does not always. It's done randomly (see email today at 13:15, 18:04, 20:14) and completely independent of our script, we don't decide on this, Buildbot does.

I just wrote also that in INFRA-15394

Hi Taher,

I did not find something specific.

The message I try to convey is this is an external random condition, not related to Buildbot or our script but the network+servers context.

From time to time (more often since the date I put in the Infra Jira, but I can't see a relation with changes then in our script and it was happening before also) the tests fail and when I manually restart the same build they pass.

So for me it's not due to our script, which is only starting the tests, but to another conditions(/s?) on the network+servers context. Note that we use 3 test servers.

Note also that it happens that the "svn up"' phase fails. I once asked Gavin and he the told me that in such case I simply have to manually restart the tests...

That's when I learnt how to do it and that's what, among other things but mostly, I want to document

Thanks to care!

Jacques

Hi Jacques, I still don't understand how you determined that it is
_not_ a buildbot scripting issue? I need that information in order to
isolate the cause of these annoying error messages. I find it unlikely
to be a genuine bug in buildbot and more likely a bug in our scripts.
So perhaps you can share what you found so that I focus my efforts in
the right place?

Taher,

Look at
https://ci.apache.org/builders/ofbiz-trunk-framework-plugins?numbuilds=150

 From time to time, when I find weird that a build fails on Buildbot but not locally, I force a build on Buildbot manually (ie redo an existing commit)
and then it passes
Eg:
Dec 05 06:47

         1817154         success         #797
<https://ci.apache.org/builders/ofbiz-trunk-framework-plugins/builds/797> forced: by IRC user <jleroux> (privmsg): forces manual build after tests
errors         Build successful
Dec 05 04:16    1817151         failure         #796
<https://ci.apache.org/builders/ofbiz-trunk-framework-plugins/builds/796> The AnyBranchScheduler scheduler named 'on-ofbiz-framework-commit' triggered
this build         Failed shell_4


Dec 08 19:40

         1817550         success         #805
<https://ci.apache.org/builders/ofbiz-trunk-framework-plugins/builds/805> The AnyBranchScheduler scheduler named 'on-ofbiz-framework-commit' triggered
this build         Build successful
Dec 08 10:14    1817479         success         #804
<https://ci.apache.org/builders/ofbiz-trunk-framework-plugins/builds/804> forced: by IRC user <jleroux> (privmsg): forces manual build after BuilBot
signaling a failure (OK locally)     Build successful


Of course you can check there are no OFBiz commits between these forcings.
Remember we share SVN and Buildbot with other TLPs...

At contratrio, this one was a real issue I wanted to be sure about, see it
fails 2 times...
Dec 13 10:23

         1817994         failure         #869
<https://ci.apache.org/builders/ofbiz-trunk-framework-plugins/builds/869> forced: by IRC user <jleroux> (privmsg): forces manual build to check we
have a real error with testPerformFind         Failed shell_4
Dec 13 09:23    1817989         failure         #868
<https://ci.apache.org/builders/ofbiz-trunk-framework-plugins/builds/868> The AnyBranchScheduler scheduler named 'on-ofbiz-framework-commit' triggered

You can find the same on
https://ci.apache.org/builders/ofbiz-trunk-framework?numbuilds=150

BTW this was a good question and I'll add this info in the infra request.

I tend to forgot about how I do things. I'm really the kind of intuitive
people. But I can help myself when I need to help others :)

I fear it's not part of our BuildBot config, so I asked help from infra.
Maybe this can help

These error messages are becoming excessive and indicating a faulty
buildbot implementation. I would like to work on it. Is anyone
interested in helping me or has background information that might
help?
