Hello team, 

I’m one of the maintainers of Klocwork Jenkins Plugin (https://github.com/jenkinsci/klocwork-plugin)

We were releasing the new version using maven plugin and got a sudden error during release that looks like this:

[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    [INFO] BUILD FAILURE

    [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    [INFO] Total time:  59.575 s

However I see that that git repository was still updated with 2 commits (https://github.com/jenkinsci/klocwork-plugin/commits/master) though missing “[maven-release-plugin] prepare release” commit.

As I understand that the state of repository is now inconsistent and new version won’t appear in Jenkins Plugins Web Store now.

Could you please help us to figure out how to fix this release?

 

Sincerely

Sergei

where are you seeing that message? If your doing a mvn release you should have a a version number you provided, if your using the CD system, you should have a link to where its failing.

The problem is your trying to release to the snapshot repo, which jenkins doesn't support. I'm a little confused why the URL says 2021.3-SNAPSHOT while the version is 2021.3-$timestamp

I got the message while doing “mvn release:prepare release:perform”

We’ve been following the same steps here https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Hosting+Plugins and here https://www.jenkins.io/doc/developer/publishing/releasing-manually/ and previous releases went well.

 

Question is how can we rollback the failed release that you can see in github history here https://github.com/jenkinsci/klocwork-plugin/commits/master and try do 2021.3 the release again?

I've not had great results personally with attempting to redo a maven release.  However, if you've retained the directory where you performed the original `mvn release:prepare release:perform` you could try running `mvn release:perform` another time.

Before attempting `mvn release:perform`, you should confirm that you have permission to push your release to https://repos.jenkins-ci.org/ .  I believe that one way to do that would be with the following commands to deploy a snapshot of your plugin from another working directory (don't do this from the directory where you attempted the previous mvn release:prepare release:perform):

$ cd /tmp
$ cd klocwork-plugin
$ mvn deploy

If that succeeds, you will have deployed a snapshot version of the default branch to the snapshots section of repos.jenkins-ci.org

If that fails, you probably need to reset your password at https://accounts.jenkins.io or at https://beta.accounts.jenkins.io

you can also mvn release:rollback and possibly delete the git tag.
or git reset to before you made the attempt and delete the git tag

“mvn deploy” failed at first and you were right - credentials seemed to be expired and I had to update it.

After update “mvn deploy” from clean folder succeeded however when I tried doing ‘mvn release:prepare release:perform’ from my original folder I got

[ERROR] Command output:

I imagine this is because initial release pushed something to github and possibly to release repository..

Is there a way to fix it you assume and have it released under 2021.3  version? Or the only way now is to release it with another version?

It's saying the git tag already exists.

git tag -d tagname
git push origin :tagname

One of many headaches you need to deal with when using `maven-release-plugin`, along with local credentials. You may consider https://www.jenkins.io/doc/developer/publishing/releasing-cd/ as an alternative.

After deleting klocwork-2021.3 tag do I really need to push the changes to origin cause it looks like they were pushed during initial “failed” release (https://github.com/jenkinsci/klocwork-plugin/commit/143dcf09a6c58c7a5bd46ab67ae93647a10d7149)

Or should I just try ‘mvn release:prepare release:perform’ again?

`git push origin :tagname` will delete that ref from your remote
You probably will be fine, I think git lets you override tags without issue, but that's usually how I delete things

After all of the manipulations release task completed successfully.

I don’t see any updates in the github here however (https://github.com/jenkinsci/klocwork-plugin/commits/master)

It’s in the same state that it was after initial failed release. I’m not sure if it’s ok cause it’s missing [maven-release-plugin] prepare release step that I saw during previous releases. Not sure if it’s ok.

I guess now I just have to wait and hope that 2021.3 version arrears on https://repo.jenkins-ci.org/artifactory/releases/org/jenkins-ci/plugins/klocwork/ page after some time?

 

Here is the tail of the log I got after running `mvn release:prepare release:perform`

That's still deploying a snapshot. I thought snapshots were flat out disallowed, but they won't show up anywhere. You should be releasing a release

That’s what missing [maven-release-plugin] prepare release] step was doing previously I guess. Like here  https://github.com/jenkinsci/klocwork-plugin/commit/4ed411006883ba7d5a656becd60d60a679e347a8

It was happening automatically when running `mvn release:prepare release:perform`

And it’s not doing it now so does it look like this version is not fixable and I have to do another release with new version now? Or is it possible to change snapshot to release version and manually trigger the release somehow?

Just release a new version…
Jenkins won’t offer older versions to users anyway, so skipping a version isn’t an issue
