The LoggedExec task does not capture output when info logging is
enabled. This commit changes the upstream check to use Exec directly,
so as not to break when info logging is enabled.
This will use File.toString() for the `git clone` command, which will
automatically be correct for whatever system the build is running on.
closes#23784
We currently have the last minor version of the previous major hardcoded
in tests like rolling upgrade. This change programatically finds this
during gradle initialization by parsing versions from Version.java.
This commit switches from executing gradle when building the bwc testing
zip through Exec, to using GradleBuild. In addition to not depending on
gradle being in the PATH, it also has the added benefit of much better
logging while the bwc build is going on (the actual tasks show up as
tasks of a subproject within the current build).
The current rest backcompat tests, which run against a mixed cluster of
5.x and 6.0 nodes, depend on snapshot builds of 5.x. However, this has
the potential for inconsistency that results in CI failures, and happens
quite often, whenever some backcompat logic is added to 5.x, but the bwc
test on master fails because the 5.x code has not yet been published as
a snapshot.
This change creates a git clone of the 5.x branch,
builds the zip distribution, and ties that into gradle substitutions for
the 5.x version.
