I have some questions related to the sharing of maven artifacts between
upstream and downstream jenkins builds
For Torque, we have a build which builds the main project (using mvn
install) and then a test project which is intended to test the artifacts
produced by the main build. The test project is configured as a downstream
project of the main project. From looking at the build locations of the
various builds, it is obvious that a downstream build is not tied to the
same node as the upstream build.
Now to my questions:
I assume that the local maven repository is not shared between the
different build slaves. Is that correct?
Is it ok to use mvn deploy to share the artifacts between builds ? if yes
to which repository will the result be deployed ? If not, is there any way
to lock the downstream build to the same node as the upstream build ?
Thanks in advance,
Thomas
