Re: Latest H5j Loader Plugin Release

[Mark Hiner]

Hi Les,

>Is there anything wrong?

Nope, it looks like there is a 1.0.1 release of your plugin: http://maven.imagej.net/index.html#nexus-search;classname~H5J

See the release documentation on the wiki: http://imagej.net/Releases#After_a_release

After the Maven release is cut, the version is not automatically updated in Fiji. First someone has to update pom-fiji (which I did just now: https://github.com/fiji/pom-fiji/commit/5f01121835e9f67f9eed5b1f872ef670fab75662). Then pom-fiji needs to be released so that Fiji itself can use it, at which point the released artifact can be uploaded to the Fiji update site.

Best,

Mark

Greetings, Mark:

About a week ago, I did a double-push to release version 1.0.1 of the H5j Loader Plugin.  I have seen that it successfully built on the Jenkins server, but have not seen a plugin release.  Is there anything wrong?  Have I carried out the push wrongly?  I think it was the same as earlier.

Please let me know.

Regards,

Les

Hi Les,

> Also, I saw a Jenkins fail email this morning.

Yes, I was investigating why H5J_Loader_Plugin doesn't show up in http://status.imagej.net/ as I had forgotten that it fails to build on our Linux machine. Typically you only have to worry about failed builds when they happen in response to code changes.

>Afterwards, I did not see the changes to my plugin.

I updated pom-fiji but did not release it or propagate the change to Fiji itself, so your plugin was not on the Fiji update site. All of these steps are required for a plugin to be available from Help > Update Fiji.

I have now done the pom-fiji release and updated Fiji.git but am currently unable to upload to the Fiji update site (for unrelated reasons). So your plugin will become available the next time we do an upload to Fiji.

Best,

Mark

Thanks very much, Mark.  However, I just launched ImageJ, which did have an update.  Afterwards, I did not see the changes to my plugin.  Also, I saw a Jenkins fail email this morning.

>I instead need to notify you that I wish to push some update?

Currently, submitting a PR modifying pom-fiji is the best way to notify us of the change. An e-mail (or chat ping, etc..) is an acceptable alternative.

In the future, the ideal would be for status.imagej.net to notify us automatically when you have performed releases. But it's uncertain when we'll have time to improve that tooling.

Hey, Mark:

Thanks for digging into this.

If I should wish to do some later change to the plugin, should I also modify pom-fiji to make that happen, or do I instead need to notify you that I wish to push some update?

Thanks,

>If there is more I need to do to ensure a release happens, please let me know.

Pushing the tag was the right thing to do. Tags can actually be created any time after a release, but best practice is to push a release tag right away. Your 1.0.1 tag looks correct; all is well. :)

We resolved the upload problems on our end and I was able to upload verison 1.0.1 of your plugin to Fiji.

Hope that helps.

Best,

Mark

I pushed the tag just for the sake of completeness.  If there is more I need to do to ensure a release happens, please let me know.

I think I made a wrong assumption.  I did not explicitly push the tag to the remote server.  If I do that now, will my changes be picked up, or need I make a new tag?

Thanks,

Les

Mark,

Hello.  Todd informed me of your earlier attempt.  While I am thankful you have done this, unfortunately something has failed.

The code is still in the same state that it was during the 1.0.0 release.  I looked around the GitHub site, and could not find my tag from 1.0.1.  It should read “H5J_Loader_Plugin-1.0.1”.   I cannot find it anywhere, although I am certain I at least attempted to apply this tag, prior to the release process.  The tag should include (but not be limited to) the code changes in the FijiAdapter, and the POM.xml with the new release number, etc.  The tag appears in my local repository, which would have had to be pushed, in order for the POM and code changes to appear in GitHub (which they have).  Of course, I am relatively new to the making of tags in Git.

Do you know what could have happened?
