Continuous Integration

Continuous Integration Project for NexJ Express Code

Project goal

Currently, NexJ has a Mercurial Repository (Internal) in which, the NexJ Express Server (Core) code is maintained with all its histories. NexJ is planning to share a Core Repository with the Open Source Community by creating a Repository (External) that will be kept in sync with the Internal Repository.

Project Phases

Phase 1: Design Proposal (Done)

• Get requirements from NexJ
• Incorporate requirements from NexJ into Design of algorithm for syncing repositories
• Provide the proposal for review and approved - final version of proposal

Phase 2: Creating Similar Environment (Done)

• Internal Repository
  • Creating a Mercurial repository and adding some changes to it to grow the history of it.
• Controller
  • This will be containing temporary repositories as the result of scripting.
• External Repository
  • Creating another Mercurial repository using 'hg' commands from the latest 'change-set' of Internal Repository.

Phase 3: Scripting (Done)

• Ant
  • Doesn't support some of non-regular Mercurial commands that we need to play with change-sets
• Bash
  • Supports everything we need for the project. script

Phase 4: Running the script on CI system (Done)

• Buildbot
• Hudson
  • Simple to setup and configure.
  • Runs different types of scripts: bash, ant, batch
  • Can be scheduled to run automatically or manually
  • Test Project

Phase 5: Code Review (Done)

• Execute the script on one of Nexj computers.

Phase 6: Make Changes as per Code Review (Done)

• Define paths based on Nexj's requirements
• Modify the script to be able to retrieve change-sets of a remote repository
• Create specific error message for each problem during running the script

Phase 7: Code Review (Done)

• Send code for review.
• NexJ Express Repository in use
