Dependent repository validation

On every branch except master and release/* (those changes will already have been validated on a feature branch), the CI build validates that a parent update does not break the main consumer repositories. After the parent version has been built and published, a build against the snapshot is started once per repository in parallel, waits for the results, and fails the parent build if any validation fails. The validated repositories are jEAP products built on this parent:

  • jeap-oauth-mock-server
  • jeap-reaction-observer-service
  • jeap-opensearch-index-writer-service

The validation job is defined in verifyDependentRepo.groovy and validates one repository per build: it runs ci/verify-dependent-repo.sh, which clones the repository's master branch, sets its jeap-spring-boot-parent version to the freshly published version and runs the repository's full build including integration tests (./mvnw verify).

Running the script manually​

ci/verify-dependent-repo.sh [options] <repo-name> <parent-version>

For example, to validate jeap-oauth-mock-server against a locally relevant parent version:

ci/verify-dependent-repo.sh --work-dir /tmp/validation jeap-oauth-mock-server 36.9.0

See ci/verify-dependent-repo.sh --help for the available options (branch, work directory, Maven settings file, clone base URL).

Testing the script​

The script is tested with bats; git and Maven are stubbed, so the tests run without network access:

bats ci/verify-dependent-repo.bats
