Error deploying web application archive essentials.war

[cyberspetz]

I am following the guide here:

https://www.onehippo.org/trails/getting-started/hippo-essentials-getting-started.html

After execution of command:

mvn -Pcargo.run -Drepo.path=storage

site.war and cms.war are deployed fine and I can reach the UI
but the essentials.war are not reachable through http://localhost:8080/essentials/
as the essentials.war file was not deployed.

I assume the problem is somehow related to java.util.zip.ZipException: zip file is empty

It looks like essentials.war under essentials/target/ folder was not created correctly in your build process (`mvn clean verify`) for some reason.

Could you try to build it again and verify essentials/target/essentials.war? In my 11.1 vanilla project, the war should be up to about 70MB. You can check the size and content with `jar tvf essentials.war'.

Woonsan

Hello Woonsan,

Thank you for the reply,

I've checked and size essentials.war is 68.1 MB (see screenshot attached)

find the result of jar tvf command in attachment ->jar_tvf_essentials_war.txt

essentials_war_content_size.txt to show the size of main directories in folder

I'm using :
java version "1.8.0_112"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_112-b16)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.112-b16, mixed mode)

I've also extracted the content, see attached "essentials_war_content_removed_lib_and_images.zip" (zipped directory with removed 'lib' and 'images' folders) so you can take a look what is in there.

In addition there is a directory/files essentials_content_tree.txt

I've tried the same project on Windows machine and it started well! 

Ha it works now on my mac as well.

Pure magic. What I did was cleaning maven cache...

Thanks for letting us know. As Woonsan said, something went wrong in the build process and that it resolves with clearing your maven cache confirms this.

mvg,

Jasper

Well I figured out the exact problem:

The app configuration requires "sudo" permission to build everything properly, if I'm not sudoer (root) I'll still get wars build successfully but they will fail at deployment to tomcat

.

I assume this is all because of cargo plugin managing deployments and inner tomcat that is used to run wars. 

The message is not informative in logs and says "zip is empty" in reality it's permission issue.

So I think when separating the build process and deploying to external tomcat, there should be no issues as they all will run under 'proper' users and proper permissions.

But in general I'm wondering if there is a person who was able to run a demo project with simple user permissions. Otherwise it means that basic project is only for Windows users.

Thanks.

I run Linux Mint and I have never had to do anything special for permissions. You certainly don't/shouldn't need root access. There are many Mac developers at Hippo so I doubt it is a Mac.

mvg,

Jasper

OK. Finally.

You're right, it was my user maven settings.

I've compared 2 projects. One built using root user, another one using "%simple_user%"

It appeared that maven was using scala-library-2.10.0.jar that was size of zero in maven cache (.m2) for my particular user. For the root new set of libs were used so there was no problem. 

So my recommendation would be to clean /.m2/repository cache in case of similar errors. 

Thanks Jasper.
