Platform-releng-troubleshooting
Basic build troubleshooting
The builds run from cron on our build machine as follows
integration builds
0 8 * * 2 cd /builds; /home/users/releng/buildTools/eclipse34/runIBuild
subsequuent integration build without perf tests is run like this if a rebuild is requested (cd /builds; /home/users/releng/buildTools/eclipse34/runIBuild-skipPerf)
nightly builds 10 0 * * 1,2,3,5,6 cd /builds; /home/users/releng/buildTools/eclipse34/runNBuild-skipPerf 10 0 * * 4,0 cd /builds; /home/users/releng/buildTools/eclipse34/runNBuild
maintenance builds 0 8 * * 3 cd /builds; /home/users/releng/buildTools/eclipse33x/runMBuild
Basic build troubleshooting
Common Reasons for build failures
- Missing dependancies due to erroneous map file submission. Check that the map file refers to a version of a project that exists in the repo.
- Missing dependancies due to errors in Manifest or missing dependancies in manifest.
In the both cases, the error sent to the releng list will look something like this... http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/platform-releng-dev/msg09778.html
Test failures
Lately, the tests on the windows machines have been failing because this machine (relengbuildwin4) loses it's network connection at night. The symptoms of this problem are that you go to the test machines and there are many browswer windows open from the swt tests. Just close all the browswers and ensure that the network is accessible for the next build.
