Release workflows broken

[hohwille]

Expected behavior

As a developer of IDEasy, I want automated workflows that build releases so that I can download the latest SNAPSHOT or publish an official release.

Actual behavior

Both the nightly-build workflow and the release workflow are broken. Error from the log:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.sonatype.plugins:nexus-staging-maven-plugin:1.6.13:deploy (injected-nexus-deploy) on project ide-cli:
Failed to install artifact com.devonfw.tools.IDEasy:ide-cli:tar.gz:linux:2024.03.001-alpha-SNAPSHOT: /home/runner/work/IDEasy/IDEasy/cli/target/ide-cli-linux-x64.tar.gz (No such file or directory) -> [Help 1]

Steps to reproduce (bug) / Use Case of feature request (enhancement)

1. See the nightly build workflow or run it manually

Comments/Hints:

This is where the release file for linux is defined and should be deployed: https://github.com/devonfw/IDEasy/blob/8e44c02fffb25707b176042d53d4c564113fc0f0/cli/pom.xml#L155

As this used to work before and it now fails the question is: Are all release packages not build anymore and therefore the file does not exist? Or are they build but somehow now located in a different directory or with different name so they are not found?

Affected version:

• OS: Linux, maybe all

Looking at the logs in more detail, I can find that the linux release is the first one trying to be installed what immediately fails:

This is nothing in the log before saying that the linux release was ever build.

The other relevant part seems to be this one: https://github.com/devonfw/IDEasy/blob/8e44c02fffb25707b176042d53d4c564113fc0f0/cli/pom.xml#L274-L275 And here: https://github.com/devonfw/IDEasy/blob/8e44c02fffb25707b176042d53d4c564113fc0f0/cli/pom.xml#L17

If I get this correctly it worked as following:

• on each OS we build the native-image (ideaasy or ideasy.exe) via the native-maven-plugin in the native profile
• the same native profile also runs maven-assembly-plugin with the exec.xml
• these results had been build into the target folder.
• the aggregated build then does the deployment of the 3 OS specific together so that we either get a release for all 3 OS or none if some of them fails (if I understood it correctly - I am just reverse-engineering the workflow YAML, pom.xml, exec.xml.
• to do so, the native image releases get moved as this is where we broke it: Before:

  mv ./natives/* ./cli/target/

  After the change:

  mv ./natives/* ./cli/target/package/bin/

So if I got all correct, we assumed that the 3 matrix OS builds only build the native image and then on the aggregated build we run the assembly to package it. However, that assumtion was wrong so this change needs to be reverted.

Verified fixed as now the releases are published and contain both native-image and wrapper script in bin folder as expected.
