How do I set this up?

[David Lai]

Hi,

I like the ACC idea. I was wondering how do I setup a server running
this? I would like to try it out.

Thanks,
david L.

Hi David,

You can use the pre-hosted instance available here:

  https://test-analytics.appspot.com/

I'm writing a document on how to self-host it on your own AppEngine instance -- the general deal on that, though, is you can use maven to deploy to appengine.  The maven build configuration uses the gae maven plugin, so with a few tweaks to the XML you should be able to upload and deploy to your own instance.

More info on that plugin:

Hi Jim,
I really like the ACC approach and would like to use it for a project
I'm working on. It would be great if there was documentation on
deploying and setting up test-analytics on my own web-server. Do you
have any suggestions on how to get started?
Thanks,Nick

There is not currently documentation on how to set up your own instance.

You could always grab the source and work on it yourself -- it uses the gae maven plugin so shouldn't be too complicated.

How is going to write document for setting up own project? ^^;


I used the gas maven plugin to set up my own instance.

at first, I modified POM.XML
<!-- google App Engine serer id and account info →
<server>
<id>appengine.google.com</id>
<username>yeo...@gmail.com</username> →
<password>xxxxxxxx</password>
</server>

and..

mvn gae:unpack

and..
mvn gas:run

..
But I've encountered a error message .. like this "Found a jar file
too large to upload ..xxxx"

How can I solve this..?

Hello,

You can add the splitJars boolean set to true to the pom.xml.

See:

  http://www.kindleit.net/maven_gae_plugin/maven-gae-plugin/deploy-mojo.html

Where do I add <splitJars>true</splitJars>  ?  I have added it to every configuration xml block in Pom.xml but I still get

"Found a jar file too large to upload: "/tmp/appcfg9036737735220534695.tmp/WEB-INF/lib/gwt-user-2.3.0.jar".  Consider using --enable_jar_splitting." 

Note I get success with mvn gae:run, I am only seeing a problem with deploy to my place on appspot.

Thanks - Mike

gwt-user shouldn't be uploaded, according to some information I found.

http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=5044

Try the workaround mentioned in that bug ("If using Maven, use <scope>provided</scope> for the gwt-user dependency and make sure you have gwt-maven-plugin 2.2.0 or later"). If it works, please submit a patch or at least let me know the exact changes and I can push out a fix for everyone.

I got past gwt-user, but now the deploy is choking on this:

"Found a jar file too large to upload: "/tmp/appcfg4710443766102855322.tmp/WEB-INF/lib/appengine-tools-sdk-1.5.4.jar".  Consider using --enable_jar_splitting."

I cant find any other configuration blocks in Pom.xml that don't already have a  <splitJars>true</splitJars>  line.  I don't suppose there is any way to make that splitJars parameter global on deploy ? If not then it would make a nice enhancement.

btw I am a career system tester who programs a bit in VBScript (for QuickTest Pro) and has some limited software integration/ build experience.  I am building and deploying from an Ubuntu Linux 11.10 platform, if that makes a difference. You dont want me submitting patches for java apps, I am pretty sure :) .  I find the test-analytics concept fascinating, so would like to setup a private instance , at least when and if it gets more friendly.

regards, Mike

That one didn't seem to help at all- still got the same error that the same jar is too big.. If you don't mind, it might be simpler for me to attach my most recent POM.xml. Attached.  I seem to have a few different references to Maven and mvn , probably not all are necessary.  One plugin reference to Maven-gae-plugin still refers to kindleit source (but I replaced the other 'dependency' as per below)  I have started and stopped this 'building test-analytics'  a few times since December, and seem to get a little closer to deploy each time. 

 I obfuscated my actual <groupId>appspot URL and email in the attached file.

I would simplify the POM if I knew what to put in/take out or had more time, but like most test people I am working a few other deadlines this week :(   . Thanks for your other quick responses - Mike

I posted an attachment of my latest POM.xml via a separate post, which I don't blame you for not looking at yet :)  Meanwhile I ran an ascii diff of your stock POM.xml - freshly downloaded vs. my latest POM.xml using a tool called beyond compare 3.  Here are the diffs I found:
1  adding the <splitJars>true</splitJars>  lines to configuration blocks in the xml.. (expected)
2  The dependency change you just suggested in this thread for appengine dependency (expected)
3  names of <groupId>   and  <artifactId> to refer to my appspot and not Googles (expected)
4  the extra userid and passIn subnodes for <server> to refer to my appspot account(expected)
5 this block, which I must have added at some point when I last played with this in January, to get around some perceived earlier build problem:
<groupId>javax.jdo</groupId>
    <artifactId>jdo2-api</artifactId>
    <version>2.3-ec</version>
    <scope>runtime</scope>
  </dependency>
  <dependency>

I guess I could take this (5)  out and see if I can deploy ?

Update. 

I pulled down a clean build of test analytics

 Made these changes to pom.xml

1  adding the <splitJars>true</splitJars>  lines to configuration blocks in the xml.. 

2  The dependency change you just suggested in this thread for appengine dependency 

3  names of <groupId>   and  <artifactId> to refer to my appspot and not Googles 

4  the extra userid and passIn subnodes for <server> to refer to my appspot account

also changed:

test-analytics/source/browse/testanalytics_frontend/src/main/resources/WEB-INF/appengine-web.xml

To point to my appspot.

- But no joy, still getting "Unable to update app: Found a jar file too large to upload: "/tmp/appcfg4449458711795227432.tmp/WEB-INF/lib/appengine-tools-sdk-1.5.4.jar".  Consider using --enable_jar_splitting"

New pom.xml attached as pom.txt

What happens if you try changing

        <dependencies>
          <dependency>
            <groupId>net.kindleit</groupId>
            <artifactId>gae-runtime</artifactId>
            <version>${gae.version}</version>
            <type>pom</type>
          </dependency>
        </dependencies>

to:

  <!-- Google App Engine -->
  <dependency>
    <groupId>com.google.appengine</groupId>
    <artifactId>appengine-api-1.0-sdk</artifactId>
    <version>${gae.version}</version>
  </dependency>

?

No joy..  still get Found a jar file too large to upload: "/tmp/appcfg3394505900862564902.tmp/WEB-INF/lib/appengine-tools-sdk-1.5.4.jar".  Consider using --enable_jar_splitting.

I'm in a testing crunch so I only have time to look at this every other day or so right now.

Note each time I do a mvn gae:run   before doing mvn gae:deploy   The run is still always 'build successful'

Has anyone been successful deploying this to a local web server ?  If so, what server ?  Note I am running Ubuntu 11.10.
