RE: Integrating Anthill with a Problem Report systyem?

Pause will only stop new builds from initiating from the waiting queue.
Flush will only flush the waiting queue.
Resume allows builds to initiate from the waiting queue.

If you have a process that is running - hung, looping - etc. - yes you must
exit the process manually.  The build is run as a thread so stopping the
container is the safest, cleanest, means of accomplishing that.

Anthill is Open Source - I have contributed a number of changes that are in
the codebase now.  You might try developing and submitting enhancements!

Oh don't get me started on the bugs of Anthill OS! :)

Yes, if there're any problems, Anthill sits there for many days trying to
do
a build but doesn't complain or anything.  And I believe the the "pause and

flush queue" are just ornamental and actually don't serve any pruporse, I
have to stop Tomcat literally to flush the queue!!

The other annoying thing is that you can't tell her royal highness (the
Anthill) to do a build when our princess clearly doesn't feel like it and
no
one is there late at night to interact and check the "Force a Build" box.
People should be able to manage a software and not software managing them,
well I mean that as a figure of speech really but you get the gist of it.
:)

Anthill guys please work harder to give us the next OS.  You guys are great

:)

Hi,


             Has anybody given any thought to integration between Anthill
and a Problem
Report system like Bugzilla or similar?

             I have seen cases where a build was being done every 30mins.
Sometimes it
failed and remained failed for hours. Having it email again and again was a

pain. Emails became noise. If we had Anthill add a Problem Report
automatically to Bugzilla (or similar), that would have become noise too.
What can be done, then?

             I was thinking that what you want is to be able to disable
timed builds
when a build fails. Basically, if a timed build fails you would:

1) enter a PR against Bugzilla or similar, attaching whatever report you
wanted (junit output, whatever)
2) switch to non-timed builds
3) if the PR system was closed, have a way to switch the timed builds ON
again


             Has anybody given this any thought? It would require a
mechanism of plugins
to talk to different PR systems (JIRA, Bugzilla, etc) and a mechanism to be

notified back. Web Services is something that comes to mind here, but
anything goes as long as it can be done in a straightforward manner?

             I think that #1 can be done with a custom Ant task. So, it
could be invoked
from the build.xml. The problem with that is that if the developer tests
locally, he'd be sending a bug and you don't want that. You'd have to do a
"If I am running inside ANthill then submit the PR". For #2 you'd need an
Anthill option to "switch to another schedule if teh build fails", and make

it switch to a apaused schedule. The real problem is #3, as it would
require
instrumenting the PR system and Anthill, so they talk to each other.


             Ideas? Suggestions? URLs?

             Thanks,

marcio
