Hello all, I'm not quite sure if this is a continuum or a Maven question, but I thought to post first on the Continuum mailing list.
In our company-wide settings I want that project sites are generated, and artifacts get deployed to our internal repository even when there are some unit tests that fail. We also want that a mail is send when there are test failures, with some kind of indication that their was a problem during the build. How would you set this up ? We've had some ideas but none of them seems the respond to our questions. Perhaps we're missing something here? Currently, the nightly build is fails if there are test failures, so the site is not published, the artifact is not deployed, ... I think these are the default settings. -1- One idea was to use the variable "maven.test.failure.ignore=true" for all continuum builds => if the test fails, the site is published and the artifact is deployed. BUT the build result is successfull and no mail is sent to the development team => The development team doesn't know they are test failures ... unless they look at the surefire report. We prefer to send a mail in this case with a clear indications that there is a problem. -2- Another idea was to use the command line parameter --fail-at-end in all continuum build definitions example: mvn clean deploy site --fail-at-end. BUT this is not a good solution as the tests are also executed when calling the site goal, so this goal fails before it's able to do the deployment. -3- Another idea was to provide an extra build definition inside continuum. A) clean deploy site site:deploy --batch-mode - Dmaven.test.failure.ignore=true Result: the artifact is deployed and the site is generated, but the build is successfull (no mail sent) B) clean test --batch-mode Result: nothing is done, and the build fails when there are test failures (mail is sent to development team) Any other ideas are highly appreciated.
