Hi Tamás,
Is there an Maven issue out there to track this issue (and your fix for it)? I 
haven’t been able to get access to the Maven Jira project so have not been able 
to raise the issue myself.
Thanks,
Joe

RE: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Inconsistent dependency resolution behaviour for concurrent multi-module build can cause failures

2024-02-08 Thread Joseph Leonard
Hey,

Yeah, exactly: ideally we want module-b to be resolved in different ways within 
the same reactor. I noticed that this kind of already happens (albeit in a 
simpler way): In my reproducer testing if you play with the test timeouts to 
dictate the module build order then with the same modules in the reactor you 
can get different resolution behaviour:
* If "app" builds before "module-b" has started compiling then "app" will 
resolve "module-b" from the local repo
* If "app" builds after "module-b" has compiled but before "module-b" has 
packaged then "app" will resolve the "module-b" class directory (this is the 
out-of-the-box scenario the reproducer produces)
* If "app" builds after "module-b" has packaged then "app" will resolve the 
"module-b" jar from the "module-b" target directory

So within this logic to perform different types of resolves, it would be neat 
if the reactor could perform an initial check first:
* if the dependency being resolved is within the same 'sub-build graph' of the 
module requesting the resolve then look within the reactor (current behaviour)
* otherwise, only resolve from the local repository

I don't know whether the code architecture means this is quite easy to do or 
very difficult. But to be fair, I think this extra parallelism opportunity is a 
bit of niche edge case and it probably isn't worth it if this is very complex 
to achieve (or considered a smell generally by the community!)

Howdy,

Well, sadly, Maven currently has no means to make one module "this and
that" at the same time.
It is either in the reactor or is out of it.
To me, it sounds like you want one reactor, but where module-b is "out" and
'in", at the same time (within same session)

2024-02-08 Thread Joseph Leonard
Hey,
We don't need the module-b jar built in the reactor to be included in the war 
if the changes made in module-b won't affect the war. Instead, in this 
scenario, we're fine with using a jar resolved from the local repository. The 
requisites for this scenario are:

  *   Any change made to module-b is only in its test tree
  *   The only changes made to the direct and transitive dependencies of 
module-b are to its test scoped dependencies
So basically module-b is only in the reactor for verification purposes rather 
than ‘src packaging’ purposes.
Thanks,
Joe

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Inconsistent dependency resolution behaviour for concurrent multi-module build can cause failures

2024-02-08 Thread Tamás Cservenák
Hej,

yes, basically the "hack" is well described by you:
- it retains "full' reactor project
- introduces "needs build" on project
- when it comes to building, it skips the project if flag set

This results that module-b -> app link is not lost.
And as for your parallelization request: the truth is that there IS and
edge between app and module-b (via module-a), so despite module-a is
"done", its transitive module-b is not done, hence you cannot build these
two in parallel, as you do have an edge between app and module-b.

Or to invert the question: what module-b JAR you want to have included in
app WAR, when building? The one built, or the one from the local
repository? If the latter, why are you building it in the first place?

RE: Re: Re: Re: Re: Inconsistent dependency resolution behaviour for concurrent multi-module build can cause failures

2024-02-08 Thread Joseph Leonard
Hi Tamás,
Thank you for hacking around this so rapidly. I am not familiar with the maven 
code base, so let me know if I have misinterpreted the change: Is your hack to:

  1.  Retain the full multi-module build dependency graph such that the build 
graph always remains consistent regardless of whether a “-pl” arg has been 
provided
  2.  Introduce a skip build option to satisfy the functionality of the “-pl” 
arg: The reactor will report the module has been built but the build is 
basically a no-op
If so, this does resolve the issue but at the cost of losing the opportunity to 
gain extra parallelism in the build.
What I was wondering may be possible (without any idea of how feasible it would 
be to implement) would be the opportunity to recognise in the multi-build 
distinct build graphs and then keep isolation in the reactor between these 
graphs. To elaborate, in the reproducer scenario there would be two distinct 
graphs:

  *   "testsupport-module-1" followed by "app"
  *   "testsupport-module-2" followed by "module-b"
Ideally these two graphs build in parallel to each other and even if ultimately 
there is a dependency between them they NEVER resolve that dependency from 
within reactor they instead always resolve from the external Maven cache. The 
key statement here is that if a user presents a list of modules to be built 
then they really need to be sure that the DIRECT dependencies between these 
modules truly represent the build graph(s) they want. For tools like 
gitflow-incremental-builder which are designed to carefully work out change 
sets and what needs to build this offers a really powerful opportunity to 
optimise builds. I appreciate this functionality could also be seen as a gotcha 
(although tbf this already exists).
Thanks,
Joe
