Hi there.

Even though I've not written here or in the mailing list for months, possibly years, I've been using Hudson for a lot of time and no major troubles. I use it in my software factory and it supports quite a number of jobs (several dozens). I use it with Maven and the relevant configuration for understanding the problem I'm submitting to your attention is explained below:

1. I have my own Nexus instance running on a server (let's call it services/nexus). It works as a proxy towards Central Repo and other public repos, and includes a local hosted repo for a bunch of artifacts that are not published elsewhere (I call it the 3rd party repo).

2. Another Nexus runs on the same server where Hudson runs (let's call it hudson/nexus). It is used as a local cache of artifacts, for speeding up Nexus jobs (some of them always start with a clean local repo), as well as a local snapshot repository that, being on the same host, works faster - it is used when a job completes and triggers another dependent job which is supposed to consume some snapshots produced by the former. For years, the configuration of hudson/nexus was a copy of services/nexus, plus a proxy for the 3rd party repo. With this configuration, no major problems in the past. I've recently changed it so it's simplified: now hudson/nexus is just a proxy towards services/nexus, plus the local snapshot repo.

It happens that most jobs are fine, while a few deterministically fail because they can't resolve the SuperPOM:

[WARNINGS] Skipping publisher since build result is FAILURE
Archiving artifacts
Description set: 
TestNG Reports Processing: START
Looking for TestNG results report in workspace using pattern: **/target/**/testng-results.xml
Did not find any matching files.
Build does not meet criteria for workspace archiving - result is not at least UNSTABLE.


The heading of the involved Master POM is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">

    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>

    <parent>
        <groupId>it.tidalwave.superpom</groupId>
        <artifactId>superpom</artifactId>
        <version>2.10</version>
    </parent>



Needless to say that it.tidalwave.superpom:superpom:pom:2.10 has been published to Central Repo, it is available even at hudson/nexus and in fact is used by most of the other jobs running fine on the same Hudson instance. All the configurations of those jobs are *identical* since they are automatically generated starting from a template, only changing things such as the SCM URL, the name of the job, the JDK and such. They all use hudson/nexus as a repo mirror for anything.

I've been trying to understand this problem for some days, but now I think I need help. If you need more details about the configuration of the job, it is available at the URL below and the configuration page should be available in read-only mode to everybody.

hudson (dot) tidalwave (dot) it/hudson/job/CapeCanaveral_Compile_and_Test_and_Deploy_Local_Snapshot/

I'm not filing a bug yet since I can't tell whether it's a problem of mine, or a real Hudson bug.

Thanks.

This may not be helpful, but I've found that problems like that can be caused if there's some stray pom.xml in the folder enclosing the folder with the pom.xml whose scan fails. The cure is to get it out of there or try <relativePath/> in the <parent>.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it, but it only changed a detail in the error message:

I'll apply the change to all my projects, in any case, since I think it's formally more correct. But doesn't solve my current problem. Is there any place where I can see in a log file the details about POM resolving?

Thanks.

I worked around the problem by running mvn from the command line in the workspaces of the broken jobs, and killing it almost immediately, just after it downloaded the first artifacts, including the superpom. Now the jobs work and I can confirm that they are downloading stuff from the expected Nexus mirror (it was a doubt of mine that I was missing something wrong in the settings.xml). This is just a workaround to restore the sanity of my Hudson jobs, but as soon as I'll have to scratch a workspace I'll face again the problem.

At this point, I'd say it's a strange bug in Hudson. What do you think?

Is by any chance offline property (in the advanced section) is set in the maven builder.
You could try by passing -X option to the maven builder and look through the enormous amount of debug data printed and see if there is any obvious hint.

-X is the first thing I tried - but it doesn't work here. I mean, I get the error before any typical output with -X is produced. When the thing works, I see that there are some POM download logs *before* this section appears:

18:40:18  <===[HUDSON REMOTING CAPACITY]===>channel started
18:40:20  Executing Maven:  -B -f /home/tomcat/Workspaces/Hudson/jobs/CapeCanaveral_Compile_and_Test_and_Deploy_Local_Snapshot/workspace/pom.xml -Dmaven.repo.local=/home/tomcat/Workspaces/Hudson/jobs/CapeCanaveral_Compile_and_Test_and_Deploy_Local_Snapshot/workspace/.repository -X -B -fae clean install clirr:check -Pgenerate-revision-id -DtestReportsDirectory=target/surefire-reports/plain -Dtestset.cached.folder=/tmp/TestCacheFolder -DtestFailureIgnore=true

18:40:21  Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: UTF-8


which means that when the error occurs because the superpom is not found, it happens before Maven is actually started, with the -X option. Is it something related to the Maven embedded customization by Hudson? This is independent of "Resolve Dependencies during Pom parsing" - normally I check this option, but the behaviour doesn't change with this option disabled.

I guess you have checked the "private repository" option in the maven builder advanced option. Because of that maven is using the local repo as -Dmaven.repo.local=/home/tomcat/Workspaces/Hudson/jobs/CapeCanaveral_Compile_and_Test_and_Deploy_Local_Snapshot/workspace/.repository. So if your super pom is not in that, then maven can't find that. Can you uncheck "private repository" option and build.

Yes, I use that option, but it has always worked, and other jobs with the same option work fine...

Sure, but in this particular case, could you try unchecking that option and see if the job will build without any special repository priming?

Tried to uncheck the option, but it didn't make any difference. Note that in the meantime a subset of the broken jobs spontaneously "fixed" themselves: I mean, in these days I did some push to the SCM, they rebuilt, and some are back ok now. So it sounds it's also an intermittent problem.

One more thing, I guess you build super-pom and it is in your local repo right not in the Nexus correct? If so, if you are building in slaves, then this super-pom need to be built on that slave once for other jobs to build. However, if you push your artifacts to Nexus, and it is available from all slaves, then my point is moot.

"One more thing, I guess you build super-pom and it is in your local repo right not in the Nexus correct?"

It's not correct. The super-pom in this case is in a separated project and already deployed. Usually it's even a RELEASE, but in this moment I'm doing some large refactoring, so it's a SNAPSHOT itself. But, as I said, previously deployed. At the moment I'm not using slaves, only a single instance.
