[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-21145) Composite install job does not reliably install all JBT IUs and so does not see changes between CI builds

[Mickael Istria (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-21145?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13137415#comment-13137415 ] 

Mickael Istria commented on JBIDE-21145:
----------------------------------------

The issue detected by the composite would probably have been detectedfor free by Tycho while aggregating the coretests site. Keep in mind that Tycho already does some good dependency resolution.
The suggestion is replace 1. composite-install 2. aggregate 3. publish by
# Aggregate
# Test aggregate (could be p2diff to check the diff; and/or an install-test like you're doing for composite; or even a UI install-grinder....)
# Publish if test decide it's worth it.
This basically remove 1 artifact in the build chain, it seems simpler.

If we want to have it a bit stricter, the installation-tests could be configured in the pom.xml, hooked on the "verify" phase. So "mvn clean verify" would fail when the content can't be installed.

> It seems that the composite-install job [0], [1] is not reliable. So, the downstream JBT aggregate builds [2], [3] are not triggered automatically to pick up all new changes in the upstream JBT component site builds.
