I was just checking out the project and it seems that there have been files in the apacheds dir that has kicked off builds? (e.g. http://opensource.bamboo.atlassian.com/browse/APACHE-DS-8/commit).

Is this not the case? (I could be missing something here)

Also, your build looks like it's suffering from the Maven 2 surefire bug (see http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSUREFIRE-114), which causes an excess of tests to be reported (and slows things down quite a bit). Is it possible to change the pom.xml temporarily to use either surefire 2.1.3 or 2.3-SNAPSHOT? 2.2.x has a bug which means test cases in the XML are exponentially reported.

If you add something like the snippet below to your pom.xml:

<build>
    <pluginManagement>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>2.1.3</version>
                <configuration>
                    <excludes>
                        <exclude>**/*$*</exclude>
                    </excludes>
                    <argLine>-Xmx1024m</argLine>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
    </pluginManagement>
</build>

it should be fixed once surefire 2.3 is released, but otherwise, the test reports for Bamboo will be a bit screwed in the mean time.

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly on these issues. First WRT the SUREFIRE bug I can take care of that right away in our top level pom.

WRT svn:externals and the commits that triggered the build not that these commits occurred on the top most root directory on the bamboo-build.txt file. This directory is located here btw:

http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/directory/apacheds/trunk-with-dependencies/

If you take a look at that directory with a browser you'll see that it has almost nothing in it. It pulls in externals for the shared, apacheds, and daemon directories from various places in our repository. Unfortunately I discovered that a commit on the top most directory is required to trigger the build. Any commits on the real code under shared, apacheds, and daemon have no effect.

The commit you saw here:

http://opensource.bamboo.atlassian.com/browse/APACHE-DS-8/commit

was performed on this file:

http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/directory/apacheds/trunk-with-dependencies/bamboo-build.txt

which has the following content:

Thanks to Atlassian we have a CI setup for ApacheDS trunk and ApacheDS 1.0.  The
build is triggered when the revision number for the checkout directory changes.
A check for this occurs every 180 seconds.  So to induce a change to trigger
the build you should change this file: i.e. just increment the build number in
here.  The reason why changes in the directories do not result in a build are
due to the use of externals.

Here's the URL for the CI setup on Apache Directory Trunk:

  http://opensource.bamboo.atlassian.com/browse/APACHE-DS

Build Number: 10

Hope to find a nice workaround for this problem so we don't have to manually trigger the build by updating this file.

Thanks!

I'll try and sort something out here

Cheers,

Mark C

SVN Externals is something we are currently working on (see BAM-882) and will be available in release 1.0.3, which should occur early next week.
