That's great! Thanks Joe for chasing this down! Let's make sure we keep it
stable to help reviewing PRs.

Joe,

Thanks for that!

yes, you are correct. The builds occurred twice as the parallel build was
broken. :-)

Since we can now build and run tests in parallel with contrib-check
(YEAY) the dual build is no longer necessary.

THANK YOU for chasing this down. While travis is one of the drivers all the
developers will benefit from being able to run contrib-check in parallel
moving forward.

Re: [DISCUSS] CI / Travis / Jenkins

[Joe Witt]

Team,

Ok so finally some really solid news to share on the Travis-CI front.
First, huge thanks to Aldrin for getting this started and folks like
Andre and Pierre who have tweaked it to make it more usable as well.
After a long run of it helping us out as we all know it went poorly
with every build failing for what seemed like months.

After some improvements and updates to our usage of maven which now
means parallel builds with contrib check seem to be working and after
going ruthless mode on hunting down unstable tests and either fixing
them or making them integration-tests the build is far more stable.
We all need to try and stay on top of that.  Today though i realized
that our builds were happening twice and that appeared to be why it
took roughly 50 minutes to finish, at best, and we'd timeout and fail.
  So after adjusting our travis.yml we now only build once and the
process takes about 25 mins so we're well within.

Latest build on travis-ci: https://travis-ci.org/apache/nifi/builds/312629807
Appveyor builds:
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/ApacheSoftwareFoundation/nifi/build/1.0.0-SNAPSHOT-6649

So we're heading in the right direction.  If it stays stable perhaps
we could add openjdk builds as well.

THanks
Joe

 Joe,

 Glad to help! Few notes:

 If I recall correctly there was a reason we chose to add default and BR but
 to be honest I can't really remember what it was. I think it has to do with
 Time Zones + Locale issues and has helped detecting bizarre issues on time
 based junits (Matt B and Pierre may remember this).

 Regarding the rat check. The idea behind that was a fast failure in case of
 basic style violations, rather than wait until the end of the compilation.
 To be honest I don't know if this has worked as desired but should allow us
 to quickly identify validation errors which if I recall correctly were only
 detected at the end of contrib-check.

 And apologies for the anecdotal comments. I am away from my dev environment
 atm so I can't truly validate them.


 Kind regards

Re: [DISCUSS] CI / Travis / Jenkins

[Joe Witt]

OK well things are looking pretty good.  The only obvious problem now
is that our builds take about 45-50 mins on travis-ci.org and the
build time limit is 50 mins [1] so some jobs get killed.

Will look at areas we can avoid spending build time on at least in
travis-ci land.  Probably no great option but let's see.

 Great news!  So for the first time in a long time we now have
 travis-ci builds passing!

 I incorporated Dustin's PR which changed to the -Ddir-only instead of
 -P, added Andre's idea of dropping the -quiet flag, and dropped the
 number of builds in the config to a single parallel build with contrib
 check now that we're seeing those pass with rat/checkstyle.

 https://travis-ci.org/apache/nifi/builds/311660398

 A couple failed due to test failures and I filed JIRAs to convert
 these into integration tests or resolve.
  -https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-4660,
 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-4659

 One actually finished as you can see in its raw log but travis seems
 to have gotten confused.

 Two passed completely.  I think to reduce strain on Travis-CI
 infrastructure we should drop two of the environments.

 Current it is in .travis.yml

 env:
   - USER_LANGUAGE=en USER_REGION=US'
   - USER_LANGUAGE=fr USER_REGION=FR'
   - USER_LANGUAGE=ja USER_REGION=JP'
   - USER_LANGUAGE=pt USER_REGION=BR'
   - USER_LANGUAGE=default USER_REGION=default

 I think we should drop it to

 env:
   - USER_LANGUAGE=en USER_REGION=US'
   - USER_LANGUAGE=fr USER_REGION=FR'
   - USER_LANGUAGE=ja USER_REGION=JP'

 If no objections i'll do that soon.  But, good news is the builds are
 coming back to life on Travis-CI and will help streamline review
 cycles again!

 Thanks

Thanks - read through https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-1657
where this was discussed and where the relevant multi-env commit came
in.

Seems like five environments may be too taxing based on the build
failures I'm observing.  I'll cut it down to three
FR
JP
US
For now.  We can evaluate if that helps at all and add more back if
things become stable.

Thanks
Joe

Re: [DISCUSS] CI / Travis / Jenkins

[Joe Witt]

Great news!  So for the first time in a long time we now have
travis-ci builds passing!

I incorporated Dustin's PR which changed to the -Ddir-only instead of
-P, added Andre's idea of dropping the -quiet flag, and dropped the
number of builds in the config to a single parallel build with contrib
check now that we're seeing those pass with rat/checkstyle.

https://travis-ci.org/apache/nifi/builds/311660398

A couple failed due to test failures and I filed JIRAs to convert
these into integration tests or resolve.
 -https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-4660,
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-4659

One actually finished as you can see in its raw log but travis seems
to have gotten confused.

Two passed completely.  I think to reduce strain on Travis-CI
infrastructure we should drop two of the environments.

Current it is in .travis.yml

env:
  - USER_LANGUAGE=en USER_REGION=US'
  - USER_LANGUAGE=fr USER_REGION=FR'
  - USER_LANGUAGE=ja USER_REGION=JP'
  - USER_LANGUAGE=pt USER_REGION=BR'
  - USER_LANGUAGE=default USER_REGION=default

I think we should drop it to

env:
  - USER_LANGUAGE=en USER_REGION=US'
  - USER_LANGUAGE=fr USER_REGION=FR'
  - USER_LANGUAGE=ja USER_REGION=JP'

If no objections i'll do that soon.  But, good news is the builds are
coming back to life on Travis-CI and will help streamline review
cycles again!

Thanks

Joe & Joey,

I believe setting the maven compilation job to noisy - instead of the
current quiet setting - should help solving the issue.

Have we tried that?

Cheers

I agree this would be extremely nice to get back on track.  The
changes made last night/today to the poms do appear to mean that

[DISCUSS] CI / Travis / Jenkins

[Joey Frazee]

I’m sure everyone has noticed that Travis CI fails, incorrectly, more than it 
succeeds, often due to timeouts and not b/c of the incorrectness of a commit or 
PR.

This has been discussed previously, but it’s carried on, and become a low 
information signal about the PRs, which has two big impacts: (1) it’s ignored 
by experienced contributors and reviewers, and (2) it’s confusing or misleading 
to new contributors.

So, we really need to find a solution. I can think of a few:

1. Continue to push on INFRA to setup Jenkins for NiFi and its sub-projects.

2. Implement some kind of quick-test profile and shell script that checks the 
most important things along with the subdirectories affected by the PR, and 
continue to use Travis CI.

3. Use some other service like Circle CI or Codeship, which probably isn’t 
quite what ASF wants but it might make the CI more useful (it also might not).

4. Find a sponsor to support a more premium tier of Travis CI (or equiv.) so 
the build has enough resources to to succeed. This too probably isn’t 
preferable but I’m sure we can find a precedent.

I’m partial to pursuing (1) and (2) together because (1) would give us a long 
term solution and (2) would have some value for local builds (no need to run 
the full build) as well as making Travis CI tell us something. The first should 
be pretty low effort. The second will be labor intensive I think — to identify 
what counts as quick and change the poms — so it can’t be the answer on its own 
unless we want to wait longer to see Travis CI become informative.

What do the rest of you think?
