I am using npm, yarn build as manager tool. Using these tech, create two project , CommonLib and SampleProject. so first I build CommonLib project, release its library and publish it to AWS codeartifact then ref that published artifact to SampleProject.
This flow looks fine and works well as well. But this whole process force us to publish our changes to artifact which block other.
So not think to do change locally in IDE (here is mscode), release it locally and then ref it to SampleProject.
I used npm install ../CommonLib command to install the package and IDE start point to locally project. But it doesn't compile the project.
Can anyone help me on this, what could be wrong here.
I'm developing both an application and a package which it will depend on. I'd like to use git submodules to include the package in my dev environment and build using a published package from npm when I compile for production. What is the easiest way to achieve something like this?
I have Maven2 project. This project have 1 internal dependency which stored in internal (for our company) Sonatype Nexus. I setup the dependency version in pom.xml as parameter which I provide via Jenkins.
Sometimes I do not have proper dependency version in Nexus so my build can fail on donwload dependency step. I want to add ability to trigger special task (script) if dependency is not found to upload this dependency into Nexus and continue the build.
Can I do so?
I think about fake build for version exists always in Nexus which will check if given version is in Nexus, upload it and launch real build. But such way looks terrible.
Thanks In Advance!
You do NOT need to upload anything. You just need to access Nexus via the public group and the download from the Central repository, that is part of that group will happen automatically.
I have done an mvn install for a custom plugin and it gave me a bunch of directories in my target directory along with a jar. I'm stuck with the next step.
How do I bundle it?
Where do I place this?
What about the pom of this plugin?
What configuration changes do I have to make and where?
You can always test it on your local machine. Just run mvn clean install and it will be installed in your local repository. Then in the project you'd like to use it from, just add the plugin to the plugins section and set it up like any other plugin. This should be enough.
If you'll be using it in your company, you'll need to be able to deploy it to a Maven repository such as Nexus or Artifactory in order for other people to be able to download it.
Deploying it is the same as for regular artifacts:
mvn clean deploy
My team uses an internal team maven repo that is shared from a development server using Apache. We also run the Continuum CI server on the same machine. Maven builds in Continuum are run with the "install" goal, which copies the final artifact directly into the shared directory.
The question is, what is the difference between adding files to the shared repo using mvn install and using the deploy goal (mvn-deploy plugin)?
It seems to me that using mvn deploy creates additional configuration hassles, but I have read somewhere that installing files into a shared repo is a bad idea for some reason related to the internal workings of maven.
update: I get the functional differences between deploy and install; I am actually more interested in the low level details in terms of what files are created in the maven repo.
Ken, good question. I should be more explicit in the The Definitive Guide about the difference. "install" and "deploy" serve two different purposes in a build. "install" refers to the process of installing an artifact in your local repository. "deploy" refers to the process of deploying an artifact to a remote repository.
Example:
When I run a large multi-module project on a my machine, I'm going to usually run "mvn install". This is going to install all of the generated binary software artifacts (usually JARs) in my local repository. Then when I build individual modules in the build, Maven is going to retrieve the dependencies from the local repository.
When it comes time to deploy snapshots or releases, I'm going to run "mvn deploy". Running this is going to attempt to deploy the files to a remote repository or server. Usually I'm going to be deploying to a repository manager such as Nexus
It is true that running "deploy" is going to require some extra configuration, you are going to have to supply a distributionManagement section in your POM.
From the Maven docs, sounds like it's just a difference in which repository you install the package into:
install - install the package into the local repository, for use as a dependency in other projects locally
deploy - done in an integration or release environment, copies the final package to the remote repository for sharing with other developers and projects.
Maybe there is some confusion in that "install" to the CI server installs it to it's local repository, which then you as a user are sharing?
"matt b" has it right, but to be specific, the "install" goal copies your built target to the local repository on your file system; useful for small changes across projects not currently meant for the full group.
The "deploy" goal uploads it to your shared repository for when your work is finished, and then can be shared by other people who require it for their project.
In your case, it seems that "install" is used to make the management of the deployment easier since CI's local repo is the shared repo. If CI was on another box, it would have to use the "deploy" goal.
