I think it is beyond overkill to even try for b). wildfly
doesn't
rebuild and run the test suite for a given change in jasper, for
example. The entire idea that not even an actual change, but a
potential change / PR, to base, could end up kicking off the entire
product build and their associated test suites. I think this is
beyond overkill: it's dangerous and will sap computing power and lock
up slaves doing what's essentially no-ops.
not true - if done right you don't need to rebuild everything you just
run the test suite again.
PR's change frequently. Imagine a change in base that gets a few
different revisions? Suddenly I can't even update my PR to change
some text string without it kicking off a potential entire build chain
and test suite.
No, it would be kicking of a build chain once you decided you PR gets
merged into master of your component.
This "B" would not run as often as your "A.
Not to mention, what if the upstream tests were already failing?
If they did they should be rolled back to not fail. That is the very
critical difference in approach to what you actually commit into your
master.
You'd have to build all the upstream plugins with the OLD base,
then
build base, build everything, run all the tests, and somehow compare
the new test results to the previous test results.
No, you would not need to build everything - you would run the tests
firsts. Then if need be recompile if broken binary compatibility and
then yes compare results - this is not new. I did this for systems I
built 10 years ago - albeit it was not an Eclipse desktop UI.
I think this is folly, and it should not be pursued at all.
Start with a), and finish with a).
Start with A, lets see where that brings us.
Some kind of B is definitely a requirement if we want to scale to know
within hours rather than months if we can release.
