feat: track api-diff baseline via Renovate and store diffs in docs/apidiffs by zeitlinger · Pull Request #2174 · prometheus/client_java (original) (raw)

…idiffs
Derive the api-diff baseline from the latest published release instead of a hardcoded version, and commit per-module diffs so API changes are visible in review.
- Move the baseline to the <api.diff.baseline.version> pom property (the single source of truth) and let Renovate bump it: a custom regex manager tracks the latest published io.prometheus:prometheus-metrics-core on Maven Central, on the renovate/api-diff-baseline branch.
- generate-api-diff-baseline.yml regenerates docs/apidiffs on that branch and pushes the result back (mirrors generate-protobuf.yml).
- mise run api-diff now syncs japicmp reports into docs/apidiffs via .github/scripts/sync-api-diffs.sh (volatile preamble stripped so files only churn on real API changes); the api-diff workflow fails if they are stale.
- Mark docs/apidiffs as generated so flint skips it.
Closes #2170 Signed-off-by: Gregor Zeitlinger gregor.zeitlinger@grafana.com
The micrometer and jmx-exporter compatibility tests install local artifacts with -Dmaven.test.skip=true, which skips building the *:test-jar artifacts that the activeByDefault default profiles declare as test dependencies. Leaving the profile active broke dependency resolution (e.g. prometheus-metrics-exposition-textformats:jar:tests), failing on main and on every PR (e.g. #2173).
Deactivate those profiles in the compat install (-P '!default'), the same approach the release task already uses (-P 'release,!default'). Signed-off-by: Gregor Zeitlinger gregor.zeitlinger@grafana.com
Match opentelemetry-java's docs/apidiffs layout and format:
- store per-module diffs under docs/apidiffs/current_vs_latest/.txt instead of flat docs/apidiffs/.diff
- keep the 'Comparing ... .jar against ... .jar' header; drop only the ignore-missing-classes warning and the semantic-versioning suggestion
- on a baseline bump, archive the previous current_vs_latest as docs/apidiffs/vs/ for per-release history Signed-off-by: Gregor Zeitlinger gregor.zeitlinger@grafana.com

Summary
Fixes the manual-bump drift in the api-diff baseline (#2170) and makes API changes visible in review.
- Single source of truth. The baseline lives only in the
<api.diff.baseline.version>pom property (bumped from the already-drifted1.5.1to the actual latest release1.6.1).mise.tomlandapi-diff.ymlno longer hardcode it. - Renovate owns the bump. A custom regex manager tracks the latest
published
io.prometheus:prometheus-metrics-coreon Maven Central and bumps the property on therenovate/api-diff-baselinebranch. Because Renovate only proposes published versions, there is no Maven Central propagation race and no post-release workflow or app token needed. - Diffs committed to
docs/apidiffs/.mise run api-diffsyncs the japicmp per-module reports intodocs/apidiffs/<module>.diffvia.github/scripts/sync-api-diffs.sh, stripping the volatile preamble so files only churn on real API changes. The api-diff workflow fails if they are stale, so every API change shows up in the PR diff. - Regeneration on bump.
generate-api-diff-baseline.ymlregeneratesdocs/apidiffson the Renovate branch and pushes it back, mirroringgenerate-protobuf.yml. docs/apidiffs/**is markedlinguist-generatedso flint skips it.
Notes
- The seed diffs are large because
1.6.1predates@StableApi(the bootstrap noise documented in #2168). They shrink to near-empty once a release contains the annotations. - Like the protobuf flow, a
GITHUB_TOKENpush doesn't re-trigger CI — close/reopen the Renovate bump PR to run the api-diff check after regeneration (noted in the workflow).

Closes #2170
Also fixes a pre-existing compat-test break on main
micrometer-compatibility and jmx-exporter-compatibility fail on
main (e.g.
#2173), unrelated
to this change. The compat harness installs local artifacts with
-Dmaven.test.skip=true, which skips building the *:test-jar
artifacts that the activeByDefault default profiles declare as test
dependencies, breaking resolution (e.g.
prometheus-metrics-exposition-textformats:jar:tests).
Fixed by deactivating those profiles in the compat install (-P !default), matching what the release task already does (-P release,!default). Verified locally: full mvnw install -Dmaven.test.skip=true -P !default → BUILD SUCCESS.
Reviewer note: the seed diffs show the full stable surface (expected)
The committed docs/apidiffs/current_vs_latest/*.txt list the
entire @StableApi surface as additions, not a small delta. This is
the documented bootstrap state from #2168, not a bug:
- The japicmp include filter is
@io.prometheus.metrics.annotations.StableApi. The baseline1.6.1jar predates@StableApi, so its filtered surface is empty → every annotated class in current code registers as "NEW". The header genuinely compares against the1.6.1jar; the annotation filter is what makes everything look added. - Verified the filter is correct: only
@StableApi-annotated types appear (non-stable classes likeCKMSQuantiles/Bufferare excluded;CallbackMetricshows only as an inheritedNEW SUPERCLASSreference). It is the same root cause as thebreaking-api-change-acceptedlabel on this PR.
It self-corrects after the next release ships @StableApi: Renovate
bumps the baseline to that release, the bump workflow regenerates
current_vs_latest/ as an annotated-vs-annotated (near-empty) diff, and
the archived <new>_vs_<old>/ becomes the first real release diff. So
the current files are best read as a one-time record of the initial
declared stable API surface.
