Description

It would be nice if Continuum shared its build number with the underlying build projects (e.g. Ant/Maven{1,2})

What I'm trying to do is generate artifacts with the following naming convention:

myproject-1.0-123.zip

where 1.0 is the version number defined in Maven (e.g. pom.xml), and 123
is the Continuum build number. Artifacts could be .zip, .jar, .war, etc.

I guess one way to do this is to pass the build number via an environment variable

Issue Links

is duplicated by

New Feature - A new feature of the product, which has yet to be developed. CONTINUUM-990 Pass some continuum information to build tools when executing a build

  • Minor - Minor loss of function, or other problem where easy workaround is present.
  • Closed - The issue is considered finished, the resolution is correct. Issues which are not closed can be reopened.

In a similar way we would like to quote the build number (version) on the "About" screen. It seems like a fundamental feature to me that I have becone quite acustomed to with Cruise Control.

cheers,

I suggest a property of continuum.build.number should be set and available to the build.

Then in my pom.xml I can have...

<version>${major.version}-${continuum.build.number}</version>

My main use of continuum is with maven2 projects. For my uses it would be nice if continuum created a 'build.properties' file or something similar in every jar/war/ear it creates that has this sort of build-specific information. SCM versioning information would be great here too (sorry, maybe that's beyond the scope of this issue). It's practically a necessity to have this sort of information when tracking builds and relating them to everything else in our environment: build xyz built on xxx-xx-xx from rev xxxx of svn://host/branch.

We're doing something similar where our convention is artifactid-1.0.0.123.jar where 123 is the build.

Anything is done about this bug ?
I would like to put the build number into a properties file of my project to display it later. If nothing is done as I see that is a novice complexity maybe I can do that if someone gives some guide lines. I'm about writing a maven plugin to do this because I really need it. Any other solutions ?

I noticed in the debug log, the following command line for a simple maven2 build:

/usr/local/maven2/bin/mvn --batch-mode --non-recursive -Dcontinuum.project.lastBuild.state=10 -Dcontinuum.project.nextBuild.number=1 "-Dcontinuum.project.group.name=Tst Base Pom" -Dcontinuum.project.lastBuild.number=0 clean install'

So you have at least:
continuum.project.lastBuild.number
continuum.project.nextBuild.number
continuum.project.lastBuild.state
continuum.project.group.name
