.qualifier "ignored" in plugins [message #533897]

Hi,

I have added .qualifier suffix to all my plugins and features versions, in order to automatic bundle version update (for update site).
But unfortunately it doesn't work as I expected; during every build process only features version are updated. Plugins versions during every build are exactly the same as in build when .qualifier was used for first time.

What am I doing wrong?
Or maybe it's a clever/better solution for automatic bundle version update?

What qualifier generator are you using? What type of SCM?

I didn't specify any generator, and all projects are fetched from SVN by Hudson, not Buckminster.

What kind of qualifier replacement do you want?

The perfect solution:
plugin: qualifier is only changed when there is a change in plugin
feature: qualifier is only change when there is a change in one of it's plugins

Sufficient solutions:
plugins, features: qualifier is changed during each build

BTW: I add

-D qualifier.replacement.*=generator:buildTimestamp -D generator.buildTimestamp.format=yyyyMMdd-HHmm

to my perform command, but it doesn't have influence on qualifier values, they still looks like: 201005171539, or

With SVN it is possible to use a qualifier generator that uses the
repository revision number (this is what is used for buckminster itself
btw).

The various generators, and how they are used are explained in the
documentation. There are lots of different ways to use them, formats
etc. Take a look, and please ask again if something is unclear.

I've read chapter about qualifier replacements once again, and unfortunately it didn't help.

1. I set qualifier replacement to buildTimestamp:

-Dqualifier.replacement.*=generator:buildTimestamp

2. Custom format was also set:

-Dgenerator.buildTimestamp.format=yyyyMMdd-HHmm

3. Build process was performed, everything end successfully, booth plugin and features have correct qualifier replacement.
4. Some changes are made to one plugin, and another build was performed. But in this case, only features versions contain current build time stamp. All plugins have exactly the same timestamp as in previous build.

What should I do, for automatically update plugin versions during all builds?

Hi Maciej,
Did you clean out the previous build?

No, I have noticed during my tests that removing buckminster.output and buckminster.temp solved my problem, but I think that its not clean solution.

So cleaning is a only solution to my problem?

There are two philosophies that collide here.

1. Don't bump the version unless somethings changed.
2. Create a new version for every build.

Buckminster is very much in favor of the former since the latter will force your users to update each an every bundle
every time you post a new build. So yes, if you want to enforce that, then you do need to clean out the builds.

HTH,
