Has the plug-in been added to Downloads list?

Love the plugin. I can't get it quite to work, probably my own misunderstanding.

a) Low priority: I had to install it in same server as Synergy; can you add "-rc" to startup string? should work even if the server is not remote; otherwise add checkbox option?

b) High priority (I can't use the plugin): If I set the project name to a collect or working project, I get the error "not a static project". If I set it to a baselined project, I get this readout, which does not show any "update members" or "create baseline" that I would expect. Apparently I'm not "getting it" as to how to set this up properly. Can you help?

With Version 1.1 and CCM 6.4 (similar 6.5) i found the following problems:

[zv31_sp_3] $ ccm attr -s maintain_wa -project "zv_main#R31_SP_3_Windows_db2                      "
Warning: Object version 'R31_SP_3_Windows_db2                      ' too long, use version less than 32 characters long.
Specified project cannot be identified: 'zv_main#R31_SP_3_Windows_db2                      '
The plugin adds blanks to the project name. After that, the Projectname is too long.

Another point is continuing integration. Building by SCM is ignored. Nothing happens. First i tried  * * * * *  for the timetable. then i tried */30 * * * * . The build must be started manually. Any idea?

1. I havent seen a component for the Synergy plugin in JIRA.

2. Feature Request: Option for keep the Synergy session during the build

We use the ccm.exe for asking Synergy for information about the project, release and tasks. This is done during the build. So this requires an open Synergy session. While the developer usually has one, Hudson closes the session directly after reconfiguration.

The idea is to provide an option "Keep Synergy session open for the build" which causes the Synergy plugin to close the session after the last build step (maybe including post processing).

When I rename a Job in Hudson the Workarea is not updated.

i tried the new "-rc" feature, but it doesnt work:

38 	public String[] buildCommand(String ccmAddr) {
39		String[] commands = new String[]{ccmAddr, "start", "-d", database, "-h", engine, "-n", login, "-nogui", "-m", "-q", "-pw", password};
40
41		// Add "-rc" parameter if required.
42		if (remoteClient) {
43			List<String> list = Arrays.asList(commands);
44			list.add("-rc");
45			commands = list.toArray(new String[list.size()]);
46		}
47		return commands;
48	}

 You get:

The creation of a baseline in 1.2 doesnt work, here is the patch:

Are you planning to implement the "Copy Folder" functionality, too?

another point. is it possible to add a option "check for conflicts" and if there are conflicts, abort the build? here is what i do via shell script:

ccm conflicts -recurse -nowrap ${PROJECT} >>${PROCESS_LOG} 2>&1
if [ `cat ${PROCESS_LOG}|grep "No conflicts detected."|wc -l` -ne 1 ] ; then
    echo "Checking conflicts detected an error for Project [${PROJECT}] ... Aborting!"
    exit 1
fi

thx for implementing "checking conflicts"

im having from time to time a problem, that my build hangs. If i have a look in the console i see only

the processlist on the server:

If i kill those processes the build continues. Do you have a solution for this? (This happend also in release 1.2, i didn't tested 1.1 nor 1.0)

When having Synergy subprojects this plugin does not work.

We have a project with the layout

<Project>
   | some sources
  +-- directory
  +-- subprojects
         +-- <Subproject1>
         +-- <Subproject2>

The workarea of the subprojects is relative to their parents.

The problem is the update of the local workarea: Hudson does a
    ccm attr -m wa_path -v $HUDSON_HOME\jobs\$JOBNAME\workspace\$ROOTPROJECT -project $SUBPROJECT-$INSTANCE
for each subproject. But the "ccm attr" kills the relative project structure.

Using a "ccm wa" command instead would keep that structure.

I just had a look at hudson.plugins.synergy.SynergyPluginImpl. According to the javadoc the start() method registers three extension. But I can only see two. Where is the Synergy Maven Reporter?

Maybe the javadoc is not up to date ...

Hi,

 i solved some problems and added new features:

 Solved:

• Projects with Subprojects which were relative werent placed correct

New features:

• Copy Folder technique (new Option in the Post Build Part)
• Abort the build if there are update Warnings
• You can now configure if you want to replace subprojects or keep it (necessary if your subprojects have othere releases)
• Reuse synergy session and dont close it (every hudson project has its own session) - solved my problems with "hanging builds"

if you are interessted i can send it to you.

-->Hi,

Does anybody know (or have a reference) how to configure the Synergy plugin in Hudson in a mixed environment?

Hudson and a Synergy client are installed on Windows. The main Synergy 6.5 server is running on AIX.

When Hudson executes the "build now" command, it returns a broken build and the log says:

Warning: Database File /ccmdb/proj1/db/.../bin/dcm_transfer could not be copied to \\ccmdb\proj1\db\...\bin\dcm_transfer

Warning: D....  

There is no problem bringing up the Synergy client and to start a session, but for some reason Hudsonis trying to copy the database path to a weird destination.

Any help is appreciated.

Hi , I have this problem with synergy plugin

I want to get the latest version of a particular project from synergy without mentioning the exact project version in Project name feild (version keeps on changing depending on the latest build by cruise control)

for example when I am using : 4front-business-layer~4front-jul09-[version]

as a project name every thing works fine.

but if I use  4front-business-layer~4front-jul09 it doesnt recognize the project , is there any work around ?

Hi,

is there a place for extending the plugin to NOT to build the project if the synergy task didn't modify any files?

When a simple task is completed on a single project all my projects are built. This is caused by sharing a synergy release by multiple projects (I can not change it).

Any suggestions? I can try to create a patch and contribute.

The current 1.6-snapshot version requires Build_Mgr access. The 1.5 does not.

I think it would be better just to disable build-mgr-features if the plugin cant get this right instead of failing the whole build.

Added enhancement request https://hudson.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4911 regarding the current behauviour of the plugin by leaving the workarea always ON after update.

This should be at least an option to select whether user wants to leave eg. prep project Workarea on, or not, after update.

We have a problem using the very latest code from the subversion repository (r 31109), the query that tries to determine product grouping (after updating the project, when determining the changelog) does the following:

$ /opt/ccm64/bin/ccm project_grouping -show info "My ResourceManager/2.0.0 Collaborative Development Projects"
[resrcmgr_src-sol10_hudson] $ /opt/ccm64/bin/ccm project_grouping -show info "My ResourceManager/2.0.0 Collaborative Development Projects"
My ResourceManager/2.0.0 Collaborative Development Projects
ResourceManager/2.0.0
Collaborative Development
hudson

$ /opt/ccm64/bin/ccm project_purpose -show "Collaborative Development"
[resrcmgr_src-sol10_hudson] $ /opt/ccm64/bin/ccm project_purpose -show "Collaborative Development"

Purpose Member Status Status
Collaborative Development collaborative working

$ /opt/ccm64/bin/ccm query -u -f %objectname "type='project_grouping' and release='ResourceManager/2.0.0' and member_status='Status' and subsystem='hudson'"
[resrcmgr_src-sol10_hudson] $ /opt/ccm64/bin/ccm query -u -f %objectname "type='project_grouping' and release='ResourceManager/2.0.0' and member_status='Status' and subsystem='hudson'"

There are 2 issues with this, the previous query that tried to determine the correct member_status value has parsed the first line of the response (and used the column header Status) instead of parsing the 2nd line and taking the value "working" which I believe it should.
This is in Synergy 6.4 (yes, I know its practically desupported, try telling our management they have to actually upgrade things from time to time!) so possibly the syntax has changed in a later version, can anyone confirm that?

Secondly, the query is using a subsystem of "hudson", which is the owner of the project. We don't use subsystems at all, but the current check (in generateChangeLog) uses either the owner of the project (if project is in working state) or "1"?? I don't understand what this is trying to do, the comment talks about instances, but its using subsystem??

Currently our builds fail as soon as there are any changes, as the plugin can't find a valid project grouping that works.

Cheers

Hi

Can someone help for detail the command the plugin uses in synergy for extract the changes details (change set and user and tasks files list) or how to extract this report from Hudson in text format (from xml api)

The plugin give a very pleasant report I would like to get same report level to notify Build manager.

Thx

Roger Layani

Does this support Synergy 7.1? Is there work still on going to support the newer version of synergy?
