I have my standalone ivy builds working great such that any
developer can build and retrieve dependencies. However, now I am
trying to get automated builds going for continuous integration,
scheduled nightly builds, etc. I was curious what people out there
are using. I always run into the problem of coordinating the
automated build systems build numbers and ivy's build numbers. It
would be great if they could be the same such that a developer could
look at the automated build website and see builds with numbers that
match the number in the ivy repository.
I also see overlap in functionality between ivy and automated build
systems with dependency management, publishing, and promotion. I
have all of that working with ivy and am wondering if I just ignore
those aspects of the automated build system in favor of ivy?
I think these are two different things. It seems that you are using
mainly Ivy for your build system. Then there is a continuous
integration app which will check developer's work, check the
integration between the developers. So in fact the continuous
integration app should run the build system as it is expected to run,
so with Ivy, so I would say that the app should use Ivy to manage
dependencies.
But continuous integration app generally doesn't have Ivy support, so
you will have to translate the Ivy dependencies declaration into the
CI app configuration.
I know that Cruise Control has some xml configuration, so you would be
able to generate cruise control settings from ivy.xml via some XSL.
Same for Hudson, it use XML configuration files. Even more with Hudson
I have tried to make an Ivy plugin for Hudson [1]. Unfortunately the
company I work for was not interested in using Hudson, so I didn't get
the time to properly finish it.
And finally about the build number pushed into the artifact name, I
know Hudson to have a external HTTP API. See for instance:
http://hudson.ramfelt.se/job/Hudson/org.jvnet.hudson.main$hudson-core/lastBuild/buildNumber
. Not exactly what you are asking for, but you could probably try
something.
