This was recently fixed here: https://github.com/eclipse/openj9/issues/2995. It looks like it broke again.

FYI... @renfeiw @sophia-guo

[Mesbah-Alam]

Update with conversation with Sophia - we should ideally be moving the personal build to use jenkinsfileBase so that we can take advantage of the pre-staged jars - this should solve the issue with asm-7 beta not available.

[smlambert]

Lan has done the change to merge our 2 Jenkinsfiles into 1, we have updated the internal Grinder job to use Jenkinsfilebase, but we need to update the Adopt Grinder / test_personal config itself to use it.

[Mesbah-Alam]

@ShelleyLambert : Yes, I just created a new Grinder at Adopt where I mimicked the work done in the internal Grinder. I'll test it first before replacing the old Grinder with the new one.

[Mesbah-Alam]

@sophia-guo : One problem I see is that in the new grinder (internal) we do not have a field for SPEC. In this case, how do we specify values like SPEC=linux_arm in the new grinder?

[smlambert]

you do not need spec anymore, because you have JenkinsFile param

[sophia-guo]

yes, by adding an extra parameter $jenkinsFilename SPEC will not be needed.

[Mesbah-Alam]

Understood. So, for case of SPEC=linux_arm, we simply pick jenkinsFile=openjdk_aarch64_linux for the grinder parameter.

[smlambert]

Yes you can look in the Jenkinsfile to be sure... as SPEC is defined in those files.

Switched Grinder at Adopt to using JenkinsfileBase: https://ci.adoptopenjdk.net/view/work%20in%20progress/job/Grinder/210/console

Thanks Mesbah!

[Mesbah-Alam]

@ShelleyLambert - Welcome!

Could you please delete the temp job called Grinder2 ? https://ci.adoptopenjdk.net/view/work%20in%20progress/job/Grinder2/

[smlambert]

will do
