jgitflow release-start non interactive

[andrewliew]

Hi,

I would like your input on how to best release pom, parent module and a group of submodules using Bamboo and jgitflow release.

I have completed setting up the maven build deploy in the Build stage, and the outputs are the pom, parent module and submodules artifacts with version-SNAPSHOT.

Next plan is to look at the jgitflow to release the individual projects pom, and parent + subprojects.

1. I have done the SSh setup and now I'm stuck here on how to handle the version release of the project pom.

When I ran "mvn jgitflow:release-start", it prompt user for the release version and development version. Can I skip the interactive and accept the default versions ?

2) If the above is not possible, another approach is to use <releaseVersion> and <developmentVersion>.but how do I get the two versions?

Any other suggestion is appreciated.

Thanks,

andrew

Hello,

Alternatively, I'd like to add three optional arguments for this non-interactive goal:

* incrementMajor : if set, will not ask for a version number, increment the major number and set to 0 the minor and patch numbers

* incrementMinor : if set, will not ask for a version number, increment the minor number and set to 0 the patch number

* incrementPatch : if set, will not ask for a version number, increment the patch number

Based on https://semver.org/ semantic versioning.

Why?

* With the SSH problem on Windows, all developers can't execute the release-start goal => we need to automate it on GitLab

* On GitLab, there is no parameter to be passed to pipelines we run manually, so I'd create 3 pipelines:

** "Start a major release"

** "Start a minor release"

** "Start a patch release"

All setting the correct parameters for the release start to be done without any prompt.
