I have a GWT project which has its source managed in SVN, is packaged using Maven and has its builds managed via Hudson. I want to get the SVN revision number of the latest check-in/build to be visible in a comment at the bottom of the application root HTML file. I don't care where in the development process this happens!
Here are the options I've Googled for so far, with no success:
Does anyone have a complete, end-to-end example of how to get any of these working? I keep finding little snippets of code/config which do one part of the job, but not anything that is exactly what I'm looking for.
Thanks!
You can achieve what you're looking for with a combination of Maven and Hudson. In this example let's imagine you want the file version.txt
at the root of your web app to contain the revision.
version.txt
:
${SVN_REVISION}
In your project's pom.xml
enable filtering in the maven-war-plugin
:
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.1</version>
<configuration>
<webResources>
<webResource>
<directory>src/main/webapp</directory>
<filtering>true</filtering>
<includes>
<include>version.txt</include>
</includes>
</webResource>
</webResources>
</configuration>
</plugin>
Make sure that Hudson is building your project via. Subversion checkout and it will set the SVN_REVISION
environment variable for every build and Maven will fill it in.
This solution is for those who keep getting {SVN_REVISION} instead of the actual SVN_REVISION value inside the target file .
My solution was to also use filtering. However since I wanted the SVN_REVISION to appear inside my gwt app's main html page (as a means of "fighting" the user's cache, making sure that if we carry out a new build, then the user downloads the latest html file), I wasn't able to use Jason Terk's solution. The html file simply printed {SVN_REVISION} instead of the actual SVN_REVISION value.
So I defined a property inside <properties>
:
<properties>
...
<buildVersion>${SVN_REVISION}</buildVersion>
...
</properties>
I then made sure I was filtering the appropriate html file (like described in Jason's solution), and then "extracted" the SVN_REVISION in the html file like so:
<script type="text/javascript">
...
var versionIdSuffix = '?v=${buildVersion}';
....
</script>
In a nutshell - I wasn't able to directly reference the {SVN_REVISION} property from inside the html file, so I "wrapped" it through <properties>
, letting maven reference it instead.
