Building Robolectric

[fluxtah]

Hi Guys,

I am having trouble running ant maven-install-jars.

I have confirmed maven is in the PATH, by running mvn --help.

I have tried elevating security (running cmd as an admin), nothing
seems to work, this is probably a common problem but I have'nt found a
solution yet, any help would be awesome cheers.

Ok, looks like I solved the problem, on windows maven ships as
mvn.bat, I had to change this in the build.xml file:

<target name="maven-install-jars" description="Install the jar
files that Maven can't find for itself">
<exec executable="mvn">
<arg line="install:install-file -DgeneratePom=true -
DgroupId=com.google.android.maps -DartifactId=maps -Dversion=10_r1 -
Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=${sdk.dir}/add-ons/
addon_google_apis_google_inc_10/libs/maps.jar" />
</exec>
</target>

To this:

<target name="maven-install-jars" description="Install the jar
files that Maven can't find for itself">
<exec executable="mvn.bat">
<arg line="install:install-file -DgeneratePom=true -
DgroupId=com.google.android.maps -DartifactId=maps -Dversion=10_r1 -
Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=${sdk.dir}/add-ons/
addon_google_apis_google_inc_10/libs/maps.jar" />
</exec>
</target>

Sorry to keep spamming this topic, it seems like its not correctly
installing the dependency to my local repo, after successfully running
the ant maven-install-jars I only get this in my repo:

C:\Users\ian.warwick\.m2\repository\com\google\android\maps\maps
\10_r1\
_maven.repositories
maps-10_r1.jar.lastUpdated
maps-10_r1.pom

but no jar :(

maven complains as follows:

$ mvn install

I assume you're working from head...

We are planning to bring robolectric up to version 12 as soon as we get a free moment, which means we'll be updating the maps jar version as well.  These maps jars continue to be problematic.

I've found a quick hack of a workaround is to manually copy the maps jar to  ~/.m2/repository/com/google/android/maps/maps

/10_r1/maps-10_r1.jar 

Or, you can point to 10_r2 in your POM.

We'll get this straightened out shortly.

Thanks,

Cheers Tyler,

Sorry I am just being a bit silly and not reading the errors properly,
the first problem is I have'nt updated my sdk manager with the latest
maps addon ((addon_google_apis_google_ic_10), and also it seems the
build.xml file is not resolving the path correctly which I can
workaround by passing it in on the command line using cygwin:

$ ant maven-install-jars -Dsdk.dir=/c/android\\sdk
