Hi, I use the following code to get the ITeamBuildService, but it has null value. the pa object is gotten.
Do I use the wrong API? Please help. Thanks!
ITeamRepository repo = login(monitor);
IProjectArea pa = getProjArea(repo,monitor);
ITeamBuildService service = (ITeamBuildService) repo.getClientLibrary(ITeamBuildService.class);
IBuildDefinition[] buildDefs = service.getBuildDefinitions();

Accepted answer
ok, here is the routine which will get the current set of build engines from a repo
ugly programming model. this returns all the properties of each build engine.
one could reduce the data if desired, by removing some of the properties in the
all_properties list
also provided is a routine to filter that by a specific project area.
this needs the process_area property to be returned
private void processBuilds(ITeamRepository repo, IProjectArea owning_project)
{
for (IBuildEngine buildEngine : getBuildEngines(repo)) {
if(buildEngine.getProcessArea().sameItemId(owning_project))
System.out.println(buildEngine.getId()+ " = "+ buildEngine.getDescription());
}
}
private ArrayList<IBuildEngine> getBuildEngines(ITeamRepository repo)
{
// allocate space for results
ArrayList<IBuildEngine> allbe=new ArrayList<IBuildEngine>();
// get the data interface
ITeamBuildClient buildClient = (ITeamBuildClient) repo
.getClientLibrary(ITeamBuildClient.class);
try
{
IBuildEngineQueryModel queryModel = IBuildEngineQueryModel.ROOT;
// create a query for build engines
IItemQuery query = IItemQuery.FACTORY.newInstance(queryModel);
// objects of build engine type
IPredicate isBuildEngineType = queryModel._isTypeOf(IBuildEngine.ITEM_TYPE);
// the query filter
query.filter(isBuildEngineType);
// no parameters required
IItemQueryPage queryPage = buildClient.queryItems(query,
com.ibm.team.repository.common.service.IQueryService.EMPTY_PARAMETERS,
IQueryService.ITEM_QUERY_MAX_PAGE_SIZE, null);
// if there are buildengines defined
if (queryPage.getResultSize() != 0) {
while (queryPage != null) {
// print out a page of IDs of the retrieved build engines
final String[] all_properties = new String[] {
IBuildEngine.PROPERTY_ACTIVE,
IBuildEngine.PROPERTY_BUILD_ENGINE_ACTIVITY,
IBuildEngine.PROPERTY_DESCRIPTION,
IBuildEngine.PROPERTY_ENGINE_CONTACT_INTERVAL,
IBuildEngine.PROPERTY_ID ,
IBuildEngine.PROPERTY_PROCESS_AREA,
IBuildEngine.PROPERTY_SUPPORTED_BUILD_DEFINITIONS,
IBuildEngine.PROPERTY_SUPPORTS_CANCELLATION,
IBuildEngine.PROPERTY_USE_TEAM_SCHEDULER,
IBuildEngine.PROPERTY_PROPERTIES,
IBuildEngine.PROPERTY_CONFIGURATION_ELEMENTS
};
IFetchResult fetchResult = repo.itemManager().fetchPartialItemsPermissionAware(queryPage.getItemHandles(), IItemManager.DEFAULT,
Arrays.asList(all_properties), null);
// add these to the list
allbe.addAll(fetchResult.getRetrievedItems());
if (queryPage.hasNext()) {
queryPage = (IItemQueryPage) buildClient.fetchPage(queryPage.getToken(), queryPage.getNextStartPosition(), queryPage.getSize(), null);
} else {
queryPage = null;
}
}
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
System.out.println("build exception="+ex.getMessage());
}
return allbe;
}

Sam, thanks so much for sharing!
my pleasure..
supposedly there is a way to use the query filter with the _in predicate to filter based on project area, instead of the code loop in the above. but I haven't figured it out yet.
(get 0 results).
one argument
<code>
IPredicate filter = queryModel._in(new IItemHandleInputArg[] {query.newItemHandleArg()});
IItemQueryPage queryPage = buildClient.queryItems(query,
new Object[]{project_area_handle},
IQueryService.ITEM_QUERY_MAX_PAGE_SIZE, null);
</code>

That is used in my code snippet. I will try to find out how it works.
yes, your snippet is using BuildDefinitions not BuildEngines.
build defs have a processarea() method. engines do not

Jia,
please have a look into the JavaDoc of the Plain Java client library and try to use the basic search functionality in the Eclipse PDE with Eclipse set up for SDK and Plain Java development (see my article on how to). I could find a method to get the build definitions from the ITeamBuildClient in less than 3 minutes. This is a client library that you cen get using getClientLibrary(). Comments Ok, you are better than me. I cannot find a method to get the list of build engines or builds.
I can see the source for ITeamBuildClient and ITeamBuildService, and I can search, but don't see what I would be searching on. (or where)..
No, I am not. 8-)
I dug a bit deeper. I was also not able to instantiate the ITeamBuildService. The implementation of TeamBuildClient implements a getService() method that is private and does not appear in ITeamBuildClient to get the ITeamBuildService.
private ITeamBuildService getService() {
return (ITeamBuildService) getContext().getServiceInterface(ITeamBuildService.class);
}
I think Jia did what you attempt as well, maybe she has a better answer. Otherwise I would suggest to use the https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/BuildJavaProgrammingExamples to get at the data you need and then try to dig deeper. yes, I saw that in the buildclient code. Your prior note link shows how to get build engines for a build def. nice, but then I need all buid defs.. :-)
Sam, i have not the time today to poke through the API. You might be able to find query examples and be able to query for what you are looking at. Jia might be able to provide some hints.
I do not expect u to spend time to research solutions for me.
I think in my answer I refered to
ITeamBuildClient teamBuildClient = (ITeamBuildClient) teamRepository.getClientLibrary(ITeamBuildClient.class); teamBuildClient.getBuildDefinition(buildDefinitionId, monitor); Unfortunately, this does only provide you with what you want, if you know the ID already.

Jia, please download the javadoc for the Plain Java Client Libraries. You will notice that the service you refer to is not available there. It is a server side service. So you can't get it as a client library. See https://jazz.net/library/article/807 for more information on the API.
I would assume you have to use the ITeamBuildClient. Comments Thanks for your information Ralph. My requirement is to get all the build definitions. I find ITeamBuildService has the getBuildDefinitions() function. So I asked how to get ITeamBuildService object. Or if you know any other method to get all the build definitions, it is useful for me. Thanks ! |
