Re: Ant Nightly Build Job in Jenkins

Simian stands for "similarity analysis" and is supposed to check for
copy-paste code duplications.

I guess the older versions of simian disapper from the site as new versions
are released. Currently, 2.5.8 is the latest version.
There should be no harm updating to the latest version, ditto for
checkstyle (Ivy project uses version 7, since version 8 as resolved by Ivy
fails,
and I did not have time to investigate what causes that yet) and findbugs.

Ant Nightly Build Job in Jenkins

2018-01-27 Thread Stefan Bodewig
Hi all

is anybody familiar with the things we try to do with the job called
"Ant Nightly"? It has been failing for months now and the reason is not
Ant but the build process which tries to download a
"simian-2.4.0.tar.gz" that simply doesn't exist at the expected URI.

Re: Ant support for users who use JUnit5

I'm not really familiar enough with junit5 and in particualr not with
its internals to perform a review of your code. I can try to spot simple
mistakes but won't be able to see whether you are using junit5's API
correctly.

This is what I would have expected to happen :-)

Apart from what you mention, it may also make it easier for people who
want to contribute without having to get a full built of Ant itself
going.

Understood.

We probably do unless the junit5 runner can do that for us. You may want
to use different JVM settings or just be able to allow tests to crash
without crashing the build.

If you create the same kind of XML things will just work.

Many thanks for the time you put in, this is great

They are not new. I've seen those failures back when I first started to
test Java9 before the very first Ant 1.10 release. Back then I assumed
it was JAI not coping with the module system but never looked deeper
into it either.

There is no rush. If you feel you can finish it in the coming days, then
we can certainly wait for it to be stable. If you think it needs more
time then there isn't anything stopping us from doing a release now and
cut new release sooner then out current very slow schedule.
