release failing, help needed

[joerg.h...@googlemail.com]

Dear mojohaus experts,

after a long while I want to build a release of one of my mojos.

I tried to exactly follow the instructions:

https://www.mojohaus.org/development/performing-a-release.html

Whilst running mvn release:perform I saw log message like this:

    Uploading to ossrh-staging: http://oss.sonatype.org/service/local/staging/deploy/maven2/org/codehaus/mojo/servicedocgen-maven-plugin/1.0.0-beta-4/servicedocgen-maven-plugin-1.0.0-beta-4.jar
    [WARNING] Failed to upload checksum org/codehaus/mojo/servicedocgen-maven-plugin/1.0.0-beta-4/servicedocgen-maven-plugin-1.0.0-beta-4.jar.sha1: null
    [WARNING] Failed to upload checksum org/codehaus/mojo/servicedocgen-maven-plugin/1.0.0-beta-4/servicedocgen-maven-plugin-1.0.0-beta-4.jar.md5: null

However, build gave me SUCCESS so I closed the repo in OSSRH.

That now failed with this error:

Requires one-of SHA-1: /org/codehaus/mojo/servicedocgen-maven-plugin/1.0.0-beta-4/servicedocgen-maven-plugin-1.0.0-beta-4.jar.sha1, MD5: /org/codehaus/mojo/servicedocgen-maven-plugin/1.0.0-beta-4/servicedocgen-maven-plugin-1.0.0-beta-4.jar.md5, SHA-256: /org/codehaus/mojo/servicedocgen-maven-plugin/1.0.0-beta-4/servicedocgen-maven-plugin-1.0.0-beta-4.jar.sha256, SHA-512: /org/codehaus/mojo/servicedocgen-maven-plugin/1.0.0-beta-4/servicedocgen-maven-plugin-1.0.0-beta-4.jar.sha512

Can someone give me a hint what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks & cheers

Have you tried updating the parent pom?

I think you will need more recent versions of some plugins, especially the deploy and gpg plugins.

[joerg.h...@googlemail.com]

Hi Bean,

thanks for your response and your suggestion.

I updated parent to the latest release 61:

https://github.com/mojohaus/servicedocgen-maven-plugin/commit/ca831c4821200ea162174533cf7293d433b03c53

After rerunning the release process I ended up with the exact same behaviour.

BTW:

    [INFO] BUILD SUCCESS
    [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    [INFO] Total time:  01:25 h
    [INFO] Finished at: 2021-05-27T21:38:28+02:00

IMHO almost 1,5h is extraordinary slow for the release of a simple mojo.

Something wrong with OSSRH nexus?

It seems that release plugins hates me as I hat it.

Is mojohaus still following the manifesto or have we changed to a collaboration of agile sub-projects where only the results count?

So if nobody forces me to follow the official process and to use release-maven-plugin, I can do the release with "devon release" from devonfw-ide or I can also try to automate it via github actions.

Kind regards

Wow, the "how to release" page is extremely outdated.

DSA keys… they are deprecated for years now and we are moving from RSA to ECC now.

About the run time… I did a dry run of release:prepare and found:

[INFO] [prepare dry-run] 17/17 end-release
[INFO] Release preparation simulation complete.
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------

[INFO] BUILD SUCCESS
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------

I will ping some other committers and ask about what to do in your case.

[Ben M.]

OK, let's start with updating some gpg instructions: https://github.com/mojohaus/mojohaus.github.io/pull/38

Unless I do a release, I probably cannot help you any further. Sorry! :( 

BUT… I noticed slow upload/download speeds from Germany as well. In case you are a Deutsche Telekom customer as I am, just open a ticket. You will get a refund on each month this happens. According to press it is a peering problem on the part of Deutsche Telekom.

Hi,

from the logs and errors, I can clearly see that the hashes (sha1 and md5) are not uploaded and therefore OSSRH is rejecting the release and cannot close it successfully due to missing hashes.

This has nothing to do with GPG or my DSL provider. So IMHO the root cause is that maven for some reason fails to upload these hashes:

    [WARNING] Failed to upload checksum org/codehaus/mojo/servicedocgen-maven-plugin/1.0.0-beta-4/servicedocgen-maven-plugin-1.0.0-beta-4.jar.sha1: null
    [WARNING] Failed to upload checksum org/codehaus/mojo/servicedocgen-maven-plugin/1.0.0-beta-4/servicedocgen-maven-plugin-1.0.0-beta-4.jar.md5: null

BTW: fast.com shows me that I have 50 Mbps Download and 14 MBps Upload. I am working all day with this DSL connection both private and professional and do not see any such issues so IMHO a problem of availability of OSSRH what is AFAIK already a known issue.

So at least to make some progress, I will try to deploy the release to OSSRH manually without using release plugin and see if that makes any difference...

I am maintaining many other OSS projects outside mojohaus and do not face such strange issues with deployment failing but outside mojohaus I never use release plugin because IMHO it sucks.

Cheers

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WAGON-568

[joerg.h...@googlemail.com]

gotcha:

[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] BUILD SUCCESS
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------

[INFO] Total time: 57.268 s
[INFO] Finished at: 2021-05-28T10:17:56+02:00
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Quite some difference.

A long time ago I suggested to provide settings for devonfw-ide (https://github.com/devonfw/ide) to avoid all such inconvenience, pitfalls, etc.

It allows to automate setup of tools (java, maven, eclipse, etc.) for a project in a sandbox in a fully automated manner. You can define versions of java, maven, eclipse via some properties maintained in a git repo alongside with the IDE settings like Eclipse formatter, etc.

Nobody at mojohaus was interested. Maybe a time to revisit.

Cheers

So without release plugin, I could perform the release now.

Using that plugin I now get this:

mvn release:perform

[INFO] Scanning for projects...
[INFO]
[INFO] ------------< org.codehaus.mojo:servicedocgen-maven-plugin >------------
[INFO] Building Maven Service Documentation Generator Plugin 1.0.0-beta-6-SNAPSHOT

[INFO] [perform] 1/3 verify-completed-prepare-phases
[ERROR] No SCM URL was provided to perform the release from
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] BUILD FAILURE

Seems I will have to redo from scratch once more. What really sucks is that that plugin automatically pushes all comits and tags even if the build failed so I am polluting the git with rubbish.

Is there still some supporter left of release plugin here who might have some hints or rationale why it should be a good idea to actually use that plugin?

Cheers

[joerg.h...@googlemail.com]

got some other errors but finally resolved all and made it work now...

[mfried...@gmx.de]

Hello Jörg,

I always set the  property pushChanges=false. It is picked up by the release plugin resp. the scm library used by the plugin. If course then *after* "release:perform" has run you must not forget to call "git push" and "git push --tags" yourself. But at least the SCM does not get spoiled by this.

Best Regards

Hi Mirko,

awesome. Thanks for this great hint. Sounds exactly what I was looking for. Will use that starting from the next release on.

Thank you very much

Hi,

you may even put this into settings.xml, then you have much more control over publishing commits.

Best Regards

Mirko
