Ubuntu 14.04 sometimes provide Java 1.7 instead of 1.8

Build Environment

Hello,

I have a strange problem with my project. There are two branches: B1 and B2, they are different because B2 have some fixes, but circle.yml is the same.

B1 builds are okay because Ubuntu container has Java 1.8. I checked this via SSH:

Welcome to Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.13.0-106-generic x86_64)
…

ubuntu@box12:~$ java -version
java version “1.8.0_102”
Java™ SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_102-b14)
Java HotSpot™ 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.102-b14, mixed mode)

B2 build are failing because Ubuntu container has java 1.7 installed. SSH log below:

Welcome to Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.13.0-106-generic x86_64)
…

ubuntu@box163:~$ java -version
java version “1.7.0_80”
Java™ SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_80-b15)
Java HotSpot™ 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.80-b11, mixed mode)

The only difference I see is that B1 works on “box12”, but B2 works on “box163”. Can this be the reason of this strange behavior?

If not, then what else can I look at in order to fix this issue?

Thanks for your help.

This should not be possible, as all 14.04 build containers are launched with the same image.

Can you contact us at support@circleci.com with the build links so we can investigate?
