[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (DROOLS-1008) KieServer to update container for SNAPSHOT kjar

Mario Fusco commented on DROOLS-1008:
-------------------------------------

I'm still investigating this purely on the kie-ci side. I already had a few tests using snapshots. Moreover in one of them I tried to replace 

{code:java}
scanner.scanNow();
{code}

with 

{code:java}
kieContainer.updateToVersion( releaseId );
{code}

here https://github.com/droolsjbpm/drools/blob/master/kie-ci/src/test/java/org/kie/scanner/KieRepositoryScannerTest.java#L115 but still the test works as expected. 

[~acollins] I'm assuming that when you wrote updateReleaseId() you actually meant updateToVersion( releaseId ). if this is the case I'm still unable to reproduce this problem, at least as a unit test inside kie-ci. I'll now try to set up an environment as similar as possible to the one you described and check if can I reproduce this issue in that way.

>          Components: kie server
>    Affects Versions: 6.2.0.Final, 6.3.0.Final

> General:
> When a kjar has a snapshot version, kie-server will not react to new snapshot versions deployed to a remote artifact repository.  The remote artifact repository is only queried the first time after JVM startup, regardless of settings.xml snapshot updatePolicy setting.  Retrieving a new snapshot version is only possible through use of KieScanner.scanNow() or recycling the JVM, which will both fetch the new artifact from the remote repository and reload the kmodule in the KieServer JVM.
> Steps to reproduce:
> * KieServer and Business Central deployed to separate JVMs, pointing to independent maven repositories. Snapshot updatePolicy should be "always" in KieServer settings.xml.
> * Deploy new kjar snapshot from Business Central to remote artifactory. (unique version "1")
> * Start KieServer (verify new snapshot version is pulled from remote)
> * Deploy new kjar snapnshot. (unique version "2")
> Expected behavior:
> * Creating a new container, or invoking updateReleaseId() on existing container will pull latest snapshot from remote artifactory.
> Actual Behavior
> * Creating a new container, or invoking updateReleaseId() on existing container, does not query remote artifactory for latest snapshots.
> Workaround:
> * Forcing a KieScanner.scanNow() will fetch new snapshot from remote artifactory.
> * Or, restarting KieScanner JVM will fetch new snapshot from remote artifactory.
