I have a really simple java spring-boot gradle application.
When I build an image from source with:
pack build testapp:0.0.1 --builder paketobuildpacks/builder:base
and try to run it with docker I get the following error:
ERROR: failed to launch: determine start command: when there is no default process a command is required.
The generated Entrypoint in this image is "/cnb/lifecycle/launcher".
When I inspect the image with pack inspect-image there are no processes.
I tried this with different java spring-boot gradle applications. When I use the "bootBuildImage" gradle task, it does nearly the same but uses the pre-build .jar-file and the resulting image works. The generated Entrypoint in this image is "/cnb/process/web" and pack inspect-image shows three processes.
Any ideas?
I can't see your build output, but it sounds like you're hitting a known issue. If this is not your problem, please include the full output of running pack build.
Onto the issue. By default, Spring Boot Gradle projects will build both an executable and non-executable JAR. Because this produces two JAR files, it presently confuses the buildpacks.
There are a couple of solutions:
Tell Gradle to not build the non-executable JAR. The buildpack requires the executable JAR. You can do this by adding the following to your build.gradle file:
jar {
enabled = false
}
This is the solution we have used in the Paketo buildpack samples.
If you don't want to make the change suggested in #1, then you can add the following argument to pack build: -e BP_GRADLE_BUILT_ARTIFACT=build/libs/<your-jar>.jar. For ex: -e BP_GRADLE_BUILT_ARTIFACT=build/libs/demo-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar. You can use glob-style pattern matching here, but you need to make sure that what you enter does not match *-plain.jar. That will be the non-executable JAR that gets built by default.
This option just simply tells the Gradle buildpack more specifically what the JAR file to pass along to subsequent buildpacks.
We also have an open issue that should help to mitigate this problem. When the executable-jar buildpack gains support for multiple JARs, it'll be less likely that you'll need to set this. Essentially, this fill will add support so the executable-jar buildpack can inspect and detect an executable JAR, which would allow it to throw out the -plain.jar file since it's not executable.
I follow the instructions in https://spring.io/guides/gs/spring-boot/#scratch, but when it says to run:
./gradlew build && java -jar build/libs/gs-spring-boot-0.1.0.jar
the build fails with the above error.
There is message before the failure that says:
Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 5.0.
See https://docs.gradle.org/4.8.1/userguide/command_line_interface.html#sec:command_line_warnings
but everyone online says that's just a warning.
The build doesn't appear to create or download build/libs/gs-spring-boot-0.1.0.jar.
Currently completely blocked on first attempt to use Gradle.
I just had this problem.
The tutorial is in error in what you need to run. It should be
$ gradlew build && java -jar build/libs/gs-rest-service-0.1.0.jar
I think that they updated the code, but forgot to update the tutorial.
I had the same issue when build a simple project with Maven on Intellij IDEA. (Ubuntu 18.04.2).
Just typed terminal (in project directory):
$ sudo mvn package
$ java -jar ./target/(your-project-name)-(<version> at pom.xml).jar
For example my project name is hello-world-spring and version name in pom.xml is <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>, I have to type:
$ sudo mvn package
$ java -jar ./target/hello-world-spring-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
Maybe this method can work for gradle as well.
Please check the path of the jar file build/libs/gs-spring-boot-0.1.0.jar. For your case, the jar might be in a different folder. If your code is in a module in the main project, then the jar will be in the build folder of the module.
If you git clone the repo, then the tutorial works. If you "To start from scratch, move on to Build with Gradle.", then the tutorial doesn't work. There are missing setup steps.
I got the same issue and I changed the command to java -jar target/rest-service-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar (I checked the .jar file in target folder and found that the file name was incorrect).
Parent folder of my project was having spaces in it's name, i changed it to the underscore and it worked.
Looked at the command line as it was in the official guide:
./gradlew clean build && java -jar build/libs/gs-actuator-service-0.1.0.jar
First, the above command line has two parts:
(1) ./gradlew clean build //Use gradle wrapper to build
(2) java -jar build/libs/gs-actuator-service-0.1.0.jar //To run an application packaged as a JAR file
Now, one might run into issues with one part or both parts. Separating them and running just on thing at a time helped troubleshoot.
(1) didn't work for my Windows, I did the following instead and that built the application successfully.
.\gradlew.bat clean build
Now moving to (2) java -jar build/libs/gs-actuator-service-0.1.0.jar
It literally means that "Run a jar file that is called gs-actuator-service-0.1.0.jar under this directory/path: build/libs/" Again, for Windows, this translates to build\libs\ , and there's one more thing that may catch you: The jar file name can be slightly different depending on how it was actually named by the configuration in initial/setting.gradle:
rootProject.name = 'actuator-service'
Note that the official guide changed it from 'gs-actuator-service' to 'actuator-service' in their sample code but hasn't updated the tutorial accordingly. But now you know where the jar file name comes from, that doesn't matter anymore, and you have the choice to rename it however you want.
Having all the factors adjusted, below is what eventually worked in my case:
java -jar build\libs\actuator-service-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
or
java -jar C:\MyWorkspace\Spring\gs-actuator-service\initial\build\libs\actuator-service-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar //with fully qualified path
If you are curious where does "-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT" come from, here it is:
in build.gradle
version = '0.0.1-SNAPSHOT'
Again, you have the choice to modify it however you want. For example, if I changed it to 0.0.2-SNAPSHOT, the command line should be adjusted accordingly
java -jar build\libs\actuator-service-0.0.2-SNAPSHOT.jar
Reference: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/deployment/jar/basicsindex.html
Because you are trying to execute .jar file that doesn't exist. After building the project go to ./build/libs and check the name of freshly built .jar file and then in your project directory run:
./gradlew build && java -jar build/libs/name-of-your-jar-file.jar
or you can set version property to empty string in your build.gradle file
version = ''
after that:
./gradlew build && java -jar build/libs/your-project-name.jar
For Windows, these commands solved the problem: "Error: Unable to access jarfile springboot.jar":
cd target
java -jar springboot-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
run ./mvnw package
Now a folder named target is created and you can see a jar file inside it.
then execute java -jar target/<jarfilename>
I have a Spring Boot 2 project which is a ReST API, and I am using Spring Rest.
I am using 2 plugins to generate an SDK other projects to import to call my API. The first plugin is com.github.kongchen:swagger-maven-plugin:3.17 to generate the swagger-codegen-spec file, and the second is org.openapitools:openapi-generator-maven-plugin:3.2.3 to then generate the actual SDK files as another mvn project.
Finally, I have automated component tests that use that SDK to run tests against the running API.
My goal, is to actually BUILD the SDK as part of the original project build. So when I run "mvn install" on my-api-project, I end up with the web-app jar AND the sdk jar when it is complete, without having to run "mvn install" on the SDK as a secondary step.
I've successfully accomplished this on Linux/Mac in 2 different ways. First was to use the antrun plugin. However, this did not work on my co-worker's Windows 10, 64 bit machine. He was getting many issues regarding invalid directories and shell not being installed, etc.
So I tried using the exec-maven-plugin instead, which seems to be a lot cleaner, and more OS agnostic. Again, this works great in Linux/Max, but in Windows, now we get this error:
Failed to execute goal org.codehaus.mojo:exec-maven-plugin:1.5.0:exec
(build swagger-codegen sources) on project my-api: Command execution
failed.: Cannot run program "C:\Program Files\Apache\maven\bin\mvn"
(in directory
"C:\Users\user1\Documents\GitHub\my-project\my-java-sdk"):
CreateProcess error=193, %1 is not a valid Win32 application -> [Help
1]
When he uses the cmd window he can run "mvn install" in that directory just fine.
Any ideas??
This error was fixed by upgrading the exec-maven-plugin version to the latest version. Spring Boot was supplying the version, which was 1.5.0, but the latest is 1.6.0.
I have a go lang application which exposes a rest API and logs the information to DB. I am trying to convert the make file to gradle build. Is there any default way similar to maven2gradle plugin or the gradle build file should be written manually? I checked the syntactical differences between gradle and make file but still not clear about passing run time arguments to gradle that is similar to
run:build
./hello -conf=/apps/content/properties/prop.json -v=0 -logDest="FILE" -log_dir="/var/log/logdir"
hello is my executable and others are the runtime arguments. This is my first attempt in migrating make to gradle and I couldnt find any clear documentation. Please help.
As far as I have checked, there is no direct plugin that could do this task. As a workaround, the build execution could be written as seperate tasks in gradle and ordered accordingly. Tasks here would contain setting Go path, installing dependencies and building the application and would be run as command line process in Gradle. Gradle provides support to run command line processes as described in gradle documentation. Hope it helps.
I'm developing my first maven application and now i have this trouble, i performed the following commands
mvn compile
mvn package
mvn jboss-as-deploy
the deploy process ends without errors but in my JBOSS_HOME\standalone\deployments i don't find the .war
why?
Try to set targetDir option (maybe the default is overriden in your environoment?). See http://docs.jboss.org/jbossas/7/plugins/maven/latest/deploy-mojo.html.
The $JBOSS_HOME/standalone/deployments directory is not where deployments are stored. If you look in that directory there is a README file that explains it's what the directory is used for.
The jboss-as-maven-plugin uses the deployment API's to deploy the content to the server. This generally ends up in $JBOSS_HOME/standalone/data/content for a standalone server. Though you really shouldn't be doing anything with files in that directory.
