----------------------------------------
Summary: Release related scripts should be more resilient to
failures
Key: BEAM-6192
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-6192
Project: Beam
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: project-management, testing
Reporter: Chamikara Jayalath
Assignee: Boyuan Zhang
Currently we have a number of great release related scripts that are mentioned
in Beam release guide.
[https://beam.apache.org/contribute/release-guide/]
These tools are great but I think given the length of these scripts, we should
make them more resilient to error conditions and make them retry commands
(after user action) as much as possible.
For example, RC creation script might fail for a number of reasons (it failed
for me due to tox not being available for example) and halt at an intermediate
state (some files staged, some commits done to Github but not complete).
Re-running script fails due to previous state. After this it is up to the
release manager to figure out where the script failed, do cleanups, and resume
the process.
Also, have we considered using some release automation tooling instead of shell
scripts ?
[~boyuanz] assigning this to you since you developed some of these. Please feel
free to re-direct.
