Jenkins: Finding root pom.xml in OSX - maven

Ive been searhcing and I cannot find the path to the pom.xml for ROOT POM in Jenkins Project on my macbook
on my comp, the path is here: /eclipse/.../workspace/test/pom.xml
but when I insert that into the ROOT POM space, the error shows:
ERROR: NO SUCH FILE
/eclipse/.../workspace/test/pom.xml
What do I put to the path to get to my pom? THanks!

Jenkins is on the same machine, and Project is also locally under users on My machine,
Job is configured as "maven project" in jenkin, every thing is on My System

Jenkins path in a pipeline

How can I made my pipeline execute on
Jenkins in /var/jenkins_home/workspace/
instead of
Jenkins in /opt/jenkins/workspace/
To make root pom readable. Because I am getting UNABLE TO READ POM error.
I am building a maven project through a pipeline.
Modify the workspace and build directory path in config.xml
<workspaceDir>${JENKINS_HOME}/workspace/${ITEM_FULL_NAME}</workspaceDir>
<buildsDir>${ITEM_ROOTDIR}/builds</buildsDir>
Path of config.xml is ${JENKINS_HOME}/config.xml
You can save the configuration and restart the jenkins server for the changes to get reflect.

Jenkins is unable to recognise the Parent Pom file

When I'm running the CI Job locally everything is working as expected. When I'm executing the same via Jenkins, few times it is able to recognize the POM file and few times it is unable to recognize the POM file. And throws the error stating " Non readable POM".
Checked on the docker agent where this job is running and found that Jenkins is only recognizing the file folders but not the POM file (available on the root).
The ls command result proved me that Jenkins is not picking the POM file.

Jenkins : Unable to Run Local Maven Project through Jenkins

I am new to CI. I am trying to run my local Selenium Project through Jenkins but it is getting failed with error. Here are the complete details:
OS - MAC OS

I am not sure why is /Users/Shared/Jenkins/Home/workspace/Naveen_POMHybrid getting added before my pom.xml path.
I am attaching screen shot of Configuration and Global Setting of Jenkins.

For working with maven jenkins plugin to use local project which is outside jenkins workspace. You can use Copy Data To Workspace Plugin which will move the code to workspace before maven execution.
Give your project folder to in path to folder variable.
Now in Root pom, simply leave it empty or just give pom.xml.
To make Jenkins find the pom.xml in a custom workspace ...
set the jobs Root POM to pom.xml
set Use custom workspace with the path to your pom.xml (e.g. /Users/prakuma/git/NaveenPOMProject/Naveen_HybridPOM/ in this case)

Maven release no POM in this directory

I am trying to use the maven-release-plugin 2.3.2 on a multi module POM. (Maven 3.0.4)
release:prepare works fine but release:perform fails with this error
[INFO] org.apache.maven.lifecycle.MissingProjectException: The goal you specified
requires a project to execute but there is no POM in this directory (...<workspace>/target
/checkout). Please verify you invoked Maven from the correct directory.
Now the parent POM lies inside this <workspace>/ but in the <workspace>/target/checkout there is no POM as the target directory was created by the plugin. I am assuming there should be a copy of the pom.xml here which should be created by the plugin and that is why the error.
What I am doing wrong ? Directory and POM structure attached. Module 1 and 2 both have respective pom.xmls in root.
I have looked at maven release plugin, git, and the pom's not at the top , maven generating pom file , Maven 3.0's "mvn release:perform" doesn't like a pom.xml that isn't in its git repo's root directory . They don't help as my pom already lies in the repo's (SVN) root directory and this directory where the plugin is looking for the POM is only temporary, so I cannot/should not hard-code it.
Fixed it.. wrong path in the tag in the parent POM. Comment from khmarbaise got me thinking that the path in SVN=Jenkins workspace=path in is the only way it can work and thats how it did.
Make sure you have not committed target folder in the project structure, due to which its checking out in that folder, and hence not able to find the pom file.
I faced the similar issue.:)

Maven fails to find local artifact

Occasionally maven complains that a particular dependency, which is built and packaged locally, cannot be found in the local repository while building another project that has it as a dependency. We get an error like:
Failed to execute goal on project X: Could not resolve dependencies for project X: Failure to find Y in [archiva repository] was cached in the local repository, resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of internal has elapsed or updates are forced ->
Where X is the project being built, and Y is the supposedly missing artifact. If you look in the local repository, the artifact is there. This artifact is never installed in our archiva repository, so the problem is purely based in the local repository.
We have tried various profiles in settings.xml, and of course "mvn -U". Neither do any good, nor should they because this artifact never goes any further than the local repository.
The only two things that seem to work are to wait a very long time until maven smartens up, or to completely delete the local repository. Presumably the waiting option is related to the aforementioned update interval.
We have experienced this problem with maven 3.0.2 and 3.0.3. We are using Archiva 1.0.3 (but again this shouldn't be a factor). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The local Maven repo tracks where artifacts originally came from using a file named "_maven.repositories" in the artifact directory. After removing it, the build worked. This answer fixed the problem for me.
As the options here didn't work for me, I'm sharing how I solved it:
My project has a parent project (with its own pom.xml) that has many children modules, one of which (A) has a dependency to another child (B). When I tried mvn package in A, it didn't work because B could not be resolved.
Executing mvn install in the parent directory did the job. After that, I could do mvn package inside of A and only then it could find B.
Even in offline mode, maven will check remote repositories if there is a _remote.repositories marker for the dependency. If you need to operate in offline mode, you may need to delete these files.
The simple shell command below deletes these marker files. This is safe to do if you only use offline mode for the machine. I would NOT do this on a machine that needs to pull files down from the web.
I have used this strategy on a build server that is disconnected from the web. We have to transfer the repository to it, delete the marker files and then run in offline mode.
On Linux / Unix you can delete the remote repository marker files this way:
cd ~/.m2
find . -name "_remote.repositories" -type f -delete
Maven remembers when it didn't find something. The key is "resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of internal has elapsed or updates are forced ->"
The quick solution is to delete your local "repository" subdirectory for the problem artifact - assuming you have fixed the problem with it. :)
mvn -U will force update from remote repository - again, assuming you have now populated remote with said artifact.
When this happened to me, it was because I'd blindly copied my settings.xml from a template and it still had the blank <localRepository/> element. This means that there's no local repository used when resolving dependencies (though your installed artifacts do still get put in the default location). When I'd replaced that with <localRepository>${user.home}\.m2\repository</localRepository> it started working.
For *nix, that would be <localRepository>${user.home}/.m2/repository</localRepository>, I suppose.
If you have <repositories/> defined in your pom.xml apparently your local repository is ignored.
Catch all. When solutions mentioned here don't work(happend in my case), simply delete all contents from '.m2' folder/directory, and do mvn clean install.
Even I faced this issue and solved it with 2 ways:
1) In your IDE select project and clean all projects then install all the maven dependencies by right clicking on project -> go to maven and Update project dependencies select all projects at once to install the same. Once this is done run the particular project
2) Else What you can do is check in the pom.xml for the dependencies for which you are getting error and "mvn clean install" those dependent project first and the install maven dependencies of the current project in which you facing issue. By this the dependencies of the local project will be build and jars will be created.
I run to the similar problem when my new project depend on oracle jdbc jar(which I have installed in my local repository and work well for other projects). I tried -U option ,deleting .lastupdate file or the whole directory and downlaod again,but it did not work. finally,I deleted the directory and installed it locally again,it works.
One of the errors I found around Maven is when I put my settings.xml file in the wrong directory. It has to be in .m2 folder under your user home dir. Check to make sure that is in the right place (along with settings-security.xml if you are using that).
I had DependencyResolutionException in Ubuntu Linux when I've installed local artifacts via a shell script. The solution was to delete the local artifacts and install them again "manually" - calling mvn install:install-file via terminal.
This happened because I had http instead of https in this:
<repository>
<id>jcenter</id>
<name>jcenter-bintray</name>
<url>https://jcenter.bintray.com</url>
</repository>
check if if your artifact Y have packaging set to "jar". If you have defined it as "war" by error or copy paste, it will show this strange "was cached in the local repository, resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of internal has elapsed or updates are forced". I would expect something like "artifact Y is war, jar type expected".
In my case I needed project Y to be a WAR to be deployed through Tomcat, as well as it needed to be a JAR to be able to add it as a dependency in project X.
So in project Y's pom.xml, I added this plugin to create a JAR along with the WAR:
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.2.2</version>
<configuration>
<attachClasses>true</attachClasses>
<classesClassifier>classes</classesClassifier>
</configuration>
</plugin>
And while adding the dependency of project Y in project X's pom.xml, I had to add a classifier:
<dependency>
<groupId>groupId.of.project.Y</groupId>
<artifactId>project.Y</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<classifier>classes</classifier>
</dependency>
Note: when you build project Y, you will see 2 packagings in the target folder: project-Y.war and project-Y-classes.jar, so that's why while importing you are specifying the classes classifier to import the JAR and not the WAR.
Here is the long Solution to the problem
(Not Quick fix but will work if no other solution)
You're going to hate me for saying this but this is the truth about open source projects like eclipse. Because Open source is modular and allows you to build and develop a project in many ways with many tools such as maven, spring boot, options for xml or groovy, different eclipse updates & Etc. The problem is that eclipse allows you to run the project with missing maven builds because the IDE is smart enough to resolve dependencies using a remote_repository where it stores and catches the jar files that is not properly built on the project.
Because of this feature, You may actually have local build issues but just like DNS servers; if the solution is not found in the local directory, Eclipse will look for a solution in it's remote cached repository. When you delete the remote_repository and let Maven rebuild it a second time, The project may end up creating more errors and not build a second time or may possibly rebuild a cache that was missing. But that is unlikely.
So the long answer to fix your solution.
This is a project architecture issue!
SOLUTION:
What you need to do is look in to all your dependant project's pom.xml file and the maven dependencies folder in your local project and try to resolve all the missing dependency jars in your maven dependency folder. If you have a referenced library, I suggest moving those jars into your local project's maven dependency folder.
You have to work your way into solving every child project and then navigate into your root project and fix every single project by using Maven -> Build -> clean install (check off "skip tests" & "resolve workspace artifacts") until every project builds with a clean success.
most likely, when you force update your entire solution to all your projects, you will get a list of errors that you have the IDE auto-resolve. The auto-resolve will refer to a easy reference to fix the issue. But to deploy, you have to manually fix the project because Eclipse, Spring & Maven will work well together but there are maybe a few things they don't agree on. So, you have to play diplomat in those situations and figure it out.
That's the sad truth.
All said, I have a list of problems in my project. I have this issue. The war file generated has empty jar folders and the build is not clean without errors unless i force it. The WAR file generate will run a 404 error on tomcat server production and my angular application will throw a Cors-Error when executing the API.
All the errors on my front end project is artificial because the root of all issues is the WAR file generated. It did not generate with dependencies, the Main project did not execute in tomcat and tomcat server cannot run the spring initializer to deploy the cors-policy on the server to allow my angular application to communicate. But all in all, development environment works fine with no issues.
So that is my long ended solution for this thread.
I had the same error from a different cause: I'd created a starter POM containing our "good practice" dependencies, and built & installed it locally to test it. I could "see" it in the repo, but a project that used it got the above error. What I'd done was set the starter POM to pom, so there was no JAR. Maven was quite correct that it wasn't in Nexus -- but I wasn't expecting it to be, so the error was, ummm, unhelpful. Changing the starter POM to normal packaging & reinstalling fixed the issue.
In my case I had to add mavenLocal() in root level gradle dependency
mavenCentral()
mavenLocal()
