Run all child configurations #2167

minic · 1 decade ago

Hi,

I have a simple question.
If I start a parent configuration, I would like to have an easy way to trigger/run all child configurations of this parent, also.

In other words: How do I chain different configurations to run one after the other?

I do not want to add a "Trigger other builds" step for each child of the parent configuration.

Any clue?

Thanks in advance,
Michael

Hi,

You can set the parameters in avdance setting of "Trigger other configuration" step to get all child of current configuration somthing like :

 configuration.getChildren().each{it-> it.getPathName() + ","}

, and use the parameter in "Configuration" field e.g.

parameters.get("child")

Hi,

thanks for the quick reply.

That's almost what I wanted.
If one child config is disabled, the whole build process stops:

master
Composite step 'master' failed due to unsatisfication of success condition.

master>1-Run all children?child=root/myParent/Child2
Step is failed since the triggered build is failed, cancelled, or timed out.

I would have assumed that a disabled child config is simply ignored, but that's not the case.
Any advice on this?

Greetings,
Michael

You may skip the disabled child when concatenating the child params, disabled child config can be checked with "child.isDisabled()"

Hi,

can you please help me with this?
How do I create a script which concatenates all child configs of a parent config?

According to the manual, the "configuration" object does not have a "getChildren()" method, only a "getChild(string)" method.
How do I iterate over all children of a configuration?

I tried this, but it does not work:

${
result = "";
foreach (child : configuration.getChildren()){
if (!child.isDisabled()){
result = result + child.getPathName() + ",";
}}}

Failed to evaluate below expression:
mvel:
result = "";
foreach (child : configuration.getChildren()){
if (!child.isDisabled()){
result = result + child.getPathName() + ",";

Thanks,
Michael

Are you sure that concatanate strings with + oparetor is legal ? Try to write

groovy:

before.

The configuration does have a getChildren() method, and sorry we forget to document this. I rewrite your script with below version which should work:

${groovy:
result = "";
for(child in configuration.getChildren()){
if (!child.isDisabled()){
result = result + child.getPathName() + ",";
\}
\}
}

Hi,

thanks for your reply.

I have copied&pasted your script, but when I try to run it I get the following error:

org.hibernate.LazyInitializationException: failed to lazily initialize a collection of role: com.pmease.quickbuild.model.Configuration.children, no session or session was closed

Looks like the script is evaluated in background build instead of web GUI. To avoid this error in this case, please use below version instead:

${groovy:
result = "";
for(child in system.configurationManager.getChildren(configuration)) {
if (!child.isDisabled()){
result = result + child.getPathName() + ",";
\}
\}
}

Hi,

to actually work, the script has to look like this:

${groovy:
result = "";
for(child in system.configurationManager.getChildren(configuration)) {
if (!child.isDisabled()){
result = result + child.getPathName() + ",";
\}
\}
result = result;
}

The last assignment is neccessary, otherwise the return value of the script is empty.

Thanks very much for your help.

Greetings,
Michael

You are right.
Or just return the result via "return result"

I'm probably missing why you can't use this, but in 4.0.90 there's a built-in Repeat Parameter value of "Paths of all child configurations".

Hi,
that parameter is still there, no question about that.
Problem is, that the resulting list contains all child configs, even those which are disabled.
If you try to run a disabled config automatically, QB throws up (see my post above).

Nice solution.
What if I want to do it recursively - trigger all children AND grand-children, and grand-grand-children (those whose enabled only) ?

This is non-recursive but includes grand-children:

${groovy: 
result = ""; 
for(child in system.configurationManager.getChildren(configuration)) { 
if (!child.isDisabled())
{ result += child.getPathName() + ","; 
\} 
for(grandchild in system.configurationManager.getChildren(child)) { 
if (!grandchild.isDisabled())
{ result += grandchild.getPathName() + ","; 
\} 
\}
\} 
return result; 
}

Thanks,
Noam.
