Version 14

    Following is the process I'm using to do releases of WildFly Core.

     

    Make Sure Core Will Integrate Into Full

     

    No point doing a core release if you won't be able to merge it into full.

     

    Check the latest WildFly Core Integration results

     

    You're about to tag WFCORE master and integrate it into full, so have a look at the most recent CI run of that integration and don't bother if it's all broken:

     

    https://ci.wildfly.org/viewType.html?buildTypeId=WF_WildFlyCoreIntegration

     

    Get Any PRs Merged

     

    I always get PRs tested on master-ignore, including against full, before doing release stuff. So, if you have some PRs you want to get into the release, do that first. Don't mix PR merging with the release steps. When you test master-ignore, run the integration-into-full job to be sure you see if any PRs break full:

     

    https://ci.wildfly.org/viewType.html?buildTypeId=WF_WildFlyCoreMasterIgnoreIntegration

     

    If you merge something without going through master-ignore, just relying on the pull player tests of the PR against full, make sure those tests were current.

     

    Building, Tagging and Deploying the Release

     

    Now you're ready to release.

     

    Create a branch for the release

     

    I do most everything in a branch.

    Update the poms

     

    I have a script located in the root dir of all my source checkouts that updates poms. I just edit it and run it. I could parameterize it, but I think editing it is less work than typing the params. Here it is, in the state I left it after doing the 1.0.0.Alpha14 release:

     

    #!/bin/sh
    
    find . -type f -name "pom.xml" -print0 | xargs -0 -t sed -i "" -e 's/1.0.0.Alpha14/1.0.0.Alpha15-SNAPSHOT/g'
              

     

    So I edit the above, changing Alpha14 into Alpha15-SNAPSHOT and Alpha15-SNAPSHOT into Alpha15.

     

    #!/bin/sh
    
    find . -type f -name "pom.xml" -print0 | xargs -0 -t sed -i "" -e 's/1.0.0.Alpha15-SNAPSHOT/1.0.0.Alpha15/g'
              

     

    Then run it:

     

    taozi:wildfly-core bstansberry$ ../../change-version.sh 
    sed -i  -e s/1.0.0.Alpha15-SNAPSHOT/1.0.0.Alpha15/g ./build/pom.xml ./cli/pom.xml ./controller/pom.xml ./controller-client/pom.xml ./core-feature-pack/pom.xml ./core-model-test/framework/pom.xml ./core-model-test/pom.xml ./core-model-test/test-controller-optional/pom.xml ./core-model-test/tests/pom.xml ./core-security/api/pom.xml ./core-security/implementation/pom.xml ./core-security/pom.xml ./deployment-repository/pom.xml ./deployment-scanner/pom.xml ./dist/pom.xml ./domain-http/error-context/pom.xml ./domain-http/interface/pom.xml ./domain-http/pom.xml ./domain-management/pom.xml ./host-controller/pom.xml ./io/pom.xml ./io/subsystem/pom.xml ./io/tests/pom.xml ./jmx/pom.xml ./launcher/pom.xml ./logging/pom.xml ./management-client-content/pom.xml ./model-test/pom.xml ./network/pom.xml ./patching/pom.xml ./platform-mbean/pom.xml ./pom.xml ./process-controller/pom.xml ./protocol/pom.xml ./remoting/pom.xml ./remoting/subsystem/pom.xml ./remoting/tests/pom.xml ./request-controller/pom.xml ./server/pom.xml ./subsystem-test/framework/pom.xml ./subsystem-test/pom.xml ./subsystem-test/test-controller-optional/pom.xml ./subsystem-test/tests/pom.xml ./system-jmx/pom.xml ./testsuite/domain/pom.xml ./testsuite/manualmode/pom.xml ./testsuite/patching/pom.xml ./testsuite/pom.xml ./testsuite/rbac/pom.xml ./testsuite/shared/pom.xml ./testsuite/standalone/pom.xml ./testsuite/test-runner/pom.xml ./threads/pom.xml ./version/pom.xml

    Confirm there's no incorrect "-SNAPSHOT" left around anywhere:

     

    taozi:wildfly-core bstansberry$ git grep "\-SNAPSHOT"
    host-controller/src/test/java/org/jboss/as/domain/controller/operations/ReadMasterDomainModelHandlerTestCase.java:        hostInfo.get(RELEASE_VERSION).set("8.0.0.Alpha1-SNAPSHOT"
    model-test/src/main/java/org/jboss/as/model/test/ModelTestControllerVersion.java:                VERSION = "8.0.0.Beta2-SNAPSHOT";
    testsuite/rbac/pom.xml:  -Djboss.home=${workspace_loc:jboss-as-build}/target/jboss-as-9.0.0.Alpha2-SNAPSHOT
    (END) 
               

     

    Those are all ok.

     

    Build and Test the updated branch

     

    We use the "jboss-release" profile from the org.jboss:jboss-parent pom when doing releases, so specify this using -Pjboss-release: We also want to use the "release" profile to get an full zip built in the core-dist module, so -Prelease as well.

    Test Against Full

     

    Confirm it works in full as well, by building latest full but overriding the version of core. I don't run tests here, since we know from "Make Sure Core Will Integrate Into Full" above that core was good. I just want to compile to smoke test for any pom issues.

     

    I'm going to send up a PR later to update full, so I create a branch for that PR, modify it and build it.

    Deploy to Nexus

     

    Simple maven clean + deploy; again we use the jboss-release and release profiles. I don't run the testsuite again. I clean to guard against unwanted content from the previous build (e.g. test fixture output) ending up in the distribution modules.

    Confirm Content is Available in Nexus

     

    I blow away the core part of my local maven repo and rebuild full to confirm that it can get everything from nexus. Again, don't run tests, just compile.

    JIRA Work

    Cleanup "Pull Request Sent" JIRAs

     

    Lots of folks don't resolve their issues after their PR is merged. So look for issues in "Pull Request Sent" state and resolve any of them where the PR has been merged.

     

    https://issues.jboss.org/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20WFCORE%20AND%20status%20%3D%20%22Pull%20Request%20Sent%22%20ORDER%20BY%20priority%20DESC

     

    Add the Next Release Version

     

    Add an entry for the next Fix Version into JIRA if there isn't one already.

     

    https://issues.jboss.org/plugins/servlet/project-config/WFCORE/versions

     

    Select the little rectangle of dots on the left of your new row and drag it to move your release into the proper spot in the sequence of versions.

     

    Release the Current Version

     

    On the screen above, select the version you've just released, click the Update button and choose release. In the dialog, enter the current date. If it asks you what to do with any unresolved issues against the release, choose to move them to the next version (the one you just added.)

     

    Upgrading WildFly Full

     

    Update the CI Tests of Core against Full

     

    Critical step!! If this bit isn't done, our CI runs of core against full will produce meaningless results, possibly leading to hard to unravel regressions!

     

    There are 4 CI jobs on brontes that involve running the full testsuite against a snapshot build of core. All of these work by using system property -Dversion.org.wildfly.core to override the version of core specified in full's pom.xml. So, edit the configuration settings in the following locations to change the value of the "wildfly.core.version" build parameter from whatever it is to the next version, e.g. in my case from "1.0.0.Alpha15-SNAPSHOT" to "1.0.0.Alpha16-SNAPSHOT".

     

    All WFLY jobs that use Wildfly core for testing

     

    https://ci.wildfly.org/admin/editProject.html?projectId=WF&tab=projectParams


    Pull player job that tests WFCORE PRs against full

     

    https://ci.wildfly.org/admin/editProject.html?projectId=WildFlyCore_PullRequest&tab=projectParams

     

    There is also a job that allows experimental tests of the EAP dev branch against the latest WildFly Core master or your own topic branches. To make sure it runs correctly, update the 'wildfly.core.upstream.version' param used by the EAP 7 build configs. DO NOT UPDATE wildfly.core.version!!! THAT PARAM SHOULD POINT TO THE MAINTENANCE BRANCH VERSION USED IN CPs. The config is at:

     

    http://brontes.lab.eng.brq.redhat.com/admin/editProject.html?projectId=eap7&tab=projectParams

     

    Create and merge the PR to update full

     

    From your testing of the core release, you already have a branch for updating full to the new version. So commit it and send out a PR.
