Hudson on windows with buckminster [message #546560]

I am doing hudson builds of a eclipse product on a windows hudson server, seems most tutorials etc are done for linux, and i ran in to something that i guess is platform specific for the windows version.

i followed this:

http://wiki.eclipse.org/Building_an_RCP_application_with_hud son_(Buckminster)

i set up my import jobs for my target (org.eclipse.platform) i run into problems with slashes and ${targetPlatform}

i did set the "-DtargetPlatformPath=${WORKSPACE}/targetPlatform" that translates to this path on windows when running it under hudson:

"-DtargetPlatformPath=/Y:/hudson_home/jobs/Get helios target platform/workspace//targetPlatform"

notice the extra / before Y: and the extra / after workspace. Thus i get a problem with the ${targetPlatformPath} property.

trying it the windows way: ""-DtargetPlatformPath=${WORKSPACE}\targetPlatform" results in:

-DtargetPlatformPath=/Y:/hudson_home/jobs/Get helios target platform/workspace/\targetPlatform"

The slash seems to be hardcoded?

it all ends with

org.osgi.service.prefs.BackingStoreException: Reference to undefined variable targetPlatformPath
Caused by: Reference to undefined variable targetPlatformPath

ill test with an absolute path tomorrow and see if i suceed, right now there is to much sunshine to sit inside and dig around in this Smile

Actually the path looks fine to me, the leading / should work. Maybe
the // at the end causes the problem. Can you try
-DtargetPlatformPath=${WORKSPACE}targetPlatform instead (you shouldn't
need to quote that, the hudson plugin is supposed to quote all arguments
when needed.

Now this seems to be wrong. You have "" at the beginning and only one "
at the end. See above, you shouldn't have the need to quote anything at all.

> The slash seems to be hardcoded?

If I recall correctly the slash comes from absolutizing the path but a
path with a leading / should be resolvable on a windows system.

The path looks like you build the TP in a separate hudson job. Have you
tried to use the target platform publisher of the plugin instead of
setting the paths manually?

I know, it should work no matter, but in my experience paths with spaces
cause far more trouble than they are worth and I'd keep them away from
my build system. Can you clone the 'Get helios target platform' job as
'Get_helios_target_platform' and see if that makes a difference?

Best regards,
Johannes

Yes that seemed to fix the problem, i.e on windows getting rid of the /.

-DtargetPlatformPath=${WORKSPACE}targetPlatform

My product actually is a lot of more dependencies so i decided to head on after this small success of provisioning a simple target.

I read somewhere that if i use a target definition file and import it via importtargetdefinition it has problems with resolving directory locations ( http://swissdev.blogspot.com/2010/03/building-products-with. html) don't know if that's true or not still, but i decided to go another route instead of the .target file.

i created a new feature called "se.rsv.zz.eclipse.target.dependencies"

in this feature i added all of my dependencies that are exposed as features / plugins. The are all available via an internal P2 repo that i made conveniently via the B3 aggregator.

I then created an *.cquery and a *.mspec for this target feature. it fetches it from a simple *.rmap that only contains the actual path to the folder that houses the feature that lists all target dependencies and the p2 repo. see below:

mspec

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<mspec:mspec xmlns:mspec="http://www.eclipse.org/buckminster/MetaData-1.0" installLocation="${targetPlatformPath}" materializer="p2" name="Target Platform MSPEC" url="target_platform.cquery" maxParallelJobs="1"/>

cquery

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<cq:componentQuery xmlns:cq="http://www.eclipse.org/buckminster/CQuery-1.0" resourceMap="file:/Z:/proj_zv_vobs_main/eclipse/Products/Helios/se.rsv.zz.eclipse.helios.build/labb.rmap">
    <cq:rootRequest name="se.rsv.zz.eclipse.target.dependencies" componentType="eclipse.feature" versionDesignator="[1.0.0.qualifier,1.0.0.qualifier]"/>
    <cq:advisorNode namePattern=".*" useTargetPlatform="false" useWorkspace="false"/>
</cq:componentQuery>

rmap

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rm:rmap xmlns:bc="http://www.eclipse.org/buckminster/Common-1.0" xmlns:rm="http://www.eclipse.org/buckminster/RMap-1.0">
  <rm:locator searchPathRef="org.eclipse.platform"/>
  <rm:searchPath name="org.eclipse.platform">
    <rm:provider componentTypes="eclipse.feature" readerType="url.catalog" source="false" resolutionFilter="">
      <rm:uri format="file:/Z:/proj_zv_vobs_main/eclipse/Products/Helios/{0}">
        <bc:propertyRef key="buckminster.component"/>
      </rm:uri>
    </rm:provider>
    <rm:provider componentTypes="osgi.bundle,eclipse.feature" readerType="eclipse.import" source="false" mutable="false">
      <rm:uri format="http://server/staging/releases/helios?importType=binary"/>
    </rm:provider>
  </rm:searchPath>
</rm:rmap>

Can't see whats the problem here..probably something easy that i overlooked Smile

Hi David,

if you already have your internal p2 repo, why don't you simply create a
target file that points to this internal p2 repo?

I also was aiming to use the deltapack that is exposed over an file path, then after seeing that it doesn't work over file paths i reconsidered. I don't have any requirements (yet) to build for different platforms, but i thought why not do it while i am at it.

So currently i only target to build for x86 win32 win32.

seems i might have to convert the deltapack to an p2 format and upload it as well later.

anyway..that doesn't explain the error i got does it?

Hi David,

Just out of curiosity, why do you consider the delta-pack at all? Why not use the o.e.equinox.executable feature or the
o.e.rcp feature and have Buckminster resolve it against the standard platform repository?

Hey Thomas, back from vacation already? Smile

I need to have everything locally inside the firewall. Thus i use an aggregated internal site for this.

I think i ran into the same issue posted here:

http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=msg&goto=54570 5&#msg_545705

Do i need to update the aggregated helios site? and add all types of platform specific configurations to do this?

That particular problem no longer applies. Helios contains all fragments today.

No. We decided to fix that once and for all:
