Hi,
You might have noticed a big number of tiny commits to a file called "Jenkinsfile" in the flex-compiler repo. This is a config File for the Jenkins Pipeline Plugin, which is available since the ASF recently updated their Jenkins version to a newer version. This file contains a groovy based description of how a build of compiler+typedefs+framework should be performed on a Jenkins instance. On Jenkins I have setup a "Multibranch Pipeline Build" job "FlexJS Pipeline Test" [1]. This type of job automatically scans a repository for branches and automatically sets up build jobs for each of these. Currently I configured it to only do this for "develop", but we could extend it to feature/*, release/* or eventually something like this: "autobuild/*" The cool thing with this would be, that if I am working on a new feature, all I have to do is create a branch matching that pattern in flexjs-compiler, flexjs-typedefs AND flexjs-framework and the ASF Jenkins would automatically setup a build for that and I get all the quality assurance on my branch for free. The current version of the Jenkinsbuild is an initial version I setup doing my first steps with the Pipeline plugin. I bet there is great room for improvement. I am currently thinking of adding Jenkinsfiles to the typedefs and framework repos and setting up "Multibranch Pipeline Build" jobs for each of these, so if you are only working on a feature-branch in framework, it would only create jobs for framework, but if you work on the compiler it would process the full stack. My end-goal would be to be able to auto-check pull-requests, but I guess I need eat quite a lot of spoons of Pipeline mojo before being able to do that ;-) What do you think? I like it.
