Type of Build

The Pipeline project can be launched in 4 different ways (Type parameter):

  • SNAPSHOT-DRY-RUN (default)
build snapshot artifacts, install the artifacts in a local repo, do not deploy
  • SNAPSHOT
build snapshot artifacts, install the artifacts in a local repo, deploy the artifacts to the gcube-snapshots Maven Repository
  • RELEASE-DRY-RUN
build release artifacts, install the artifacts in a local repo, do not deploy
  • RELEASE
build snapshot artifacts, install the artifacts in a local repo, deploy the artifacts to the gcube-releases Maven Repository

The idea behind these builds is that the Release Manager can test the full pipeline execution with the DRY-RUN builds. Once all the projects in the build work, the SNAPSHOT or RELEASE build can be launched to effectively deploy the artifacts on the remote Maven Repository.
