Could we alternatively avoid the conflict by using different ports for different jobs (if that's the contended resource), e.g. by leveraging the Jenkins port allocator plug-in [1]?
This plug-in selects unique port numbers and makes them available to a job run as environment variable from where it e.g. could be fed to Arquillian. --Gunnar [1] https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Port+Allocator+Plugin 2013/7/30 Sanne Grinovero <sa...@hibernate.org> > Hi all, > I am enabling the "resources lock exclusion" plugin: this allows to > specify - using a string - a resource that a specific build requires > for exclusive access, preventing parallel execution of multiple builds > using the same resource. > > I'm enabling two resources specifically: > - JGROUPS > - JBOSSAS > (literally) > > Please keep that in mind when > a) creating new jobs > b) adding new tests using any such resource in a project which doesn't > have any > > For example, Hibernate Search includes some tests which create a > JGroups communication channel - either explicitly or by using > Infinispan - and if another build was run at the same time they would > fail as JGroups would automatically connect to the other running test, > setting up an unpredictable state. > So by enabling "JGROUPS" as a required exclusive resource, if any > other project needing the same could declare the same resource usage > we can prevent them to be run in parallel. > > JBOSSAS is defined by projects using Arquillian; I enabled it only on > OGM and Search: any more needing it? > > The good aspect is that by doing so I can re-enable parallel execution > and Jenkins should figure out which builds it is allowed to run > instead, without wasting CI time. > > Side effects: expects several fail reports in the coming hours, as I > *thought* I got it right but actually made a mistake, triggering many > parallel builds :-) > > Sanne > _______________________________________________ > hibernate-dev mailing list > hibernate-dev@lists.jboss.org > https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/hibernate-dev > _______________________________________________ hibernate-dev mailing list hibernate-dev@lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/hibernate-dev
