KIE Tools release build is now running. This is the longest step - it contains about 40 different release artifacts (other repos had only 1 artifact - maven jars).
The first trigger failed, and while investigating, I found and fixed the following: - Default parameters still referenced `10.1.x`/`10.1.0` instead of `10.2.x`/`10.2.0` - The release-candidate pipeline passed the branch name instead of the tag name to downstream jobs, preventing SCM checkout - A result variable bug in the sandbox accelerator job could cause incorrect pipeline gating - Several individual release artifact jobs were missing from the 10.2.x Jenkins folder I'll post again once we have an update. - Alex On Sat, Mar 21, 2026 at 10:26 PM Alex Porcelli <[email protected]> wrote: > Kogito Apps has finished, no issues. > > Triggering KIE Tools, we'll be back tomorrow to check. > > > On Sat, Mar 21, 2026 at 9:12 PM Alex Porcelli <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Another update on the 10.2 release: >> >> The build for the last runtime repository, Kogito Apps, has now started. >> >> Regarding Kogito Runtime, we encountered another issue where a new Gradle >> test module broke the javadoc release build.
