Testing Versions

Since epkg Version 1.1.5 the testing versions default to ‘testing’ (previously: ‘9999’).

Allowed values for the --testVersion  parameter are lower case letters or lower case letters followed by a ~ and then numbers.

Examples:

  • –testVersion=abctestbuild

  • –testVersion=elux~178

The build server will correctly fill in these values according to the type of build (e.g. Testing builds on master will be ‘testing’, bug/feature branch builds will be <project name>~<ticket number>).

In general one should not need to locally build EPMs and copy them to the container, but if you think you need this please make sure to use a --testVersion parameter that does not clash with anything the build server does, like for example your account abbreviation and maybe append your current ticket number, like --testVersion=abc~6645
