[jira] [Commented] (SYNCOPE-839) Syncope 2.0.0-M2 has a missing dependency syncope-fit-build-build-tools

["Francesco Chicchiriccò (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SYNCOPE-839?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15270516#comment-15270516 ] 

Francesco Chicchiriccò commented on SYNCOPE-839:
------------------------------------------------

When running {{-P embedded}} under console / enduser in the project generated by archetype, a Tomcat instance is started via cargo, with core configured for in-memory H2 database and test data.

The problem is that, as it used to be in 1.2.X (considering that 2.0 started with a huge code refactoring), this requires the additional Maven dependency

{code:xml}
        <dependency>
          <groupId>org.apache.syncope.fit</groupId>
          <artifactId>syncope-fit-build-tools</artifactId>
          <version>${syncope.version}</version>
          <type>war</type>
          <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>
{code}

to be deployed alongside the Syncope WAR application(s), as it contains supporting tools for tests.

The reason why {{syncope-fit-build-tools}} is not found is because the deployment to Maven repository was [explicitly disabled|https://github.com/apache/syncope/blob/master/fit/build-tools/pom.xml#L159]; the rationale behind this was to avoid the need to upload large files during the [release process|http://syncope.apache.org/release-process.html].

I see two alternative solutions here:

# (trivial) re-enable the deployment to Maven of {{syncope-fit-build-tools}} during the release process
# add a further {{build-tools}} module to archetype, with sources automatically copied from {{fit/build-tools}}

I am actually not sure of which solution is the best: the former will require again to upload a WAR file to Maven repository during release, while the latter will require each project generated from our archetype to bear this further module, even if not strictly needed (unless {{-P embedded}} is used).

> As mentioned in [getting started documentation|http://syncope.apache.org/docs/getting-started.html#create-project] of creating archetype project and then deploying in embedded mode.
> The {code}mvn -P embedded{code} fails due to unreachable dependency on *org.apache.syncope.fit:syncope-fit-build-tools:war:2.0.0-M2*. Thus {color:red}build fails{color:red}.
