How to run OpenElis from source code?

Community Ask OpenELIS

Hi, I had the same issue and tried your solution but that didn’t fix it. Do you have any other suggestions? The output I get when trying to run docker-compose -f build.docker-compose.yml up -d --build is:

I should also mention that I am using VS Code on macOS to run OpenElis. It works fine to call docker-compose up -d on the site as is. My goal is to modify src/main/resources/static/css/openElisCore.css and some images and see the result. Currently after changing openElisCore.css and calling docker-compose stop and docker-compose up -d, I don’t see the modifications I made.

Hello @David_Griffith ,

Hi,

I’m trying to customize the legacy jsp front end.

Thanks,

docker-compose up -d runs with already deployed images to a docker registry.

You can try running with docker-compose -f build.docker-compose.yml up -d to rebuild the images from source code .

26

When I try that command, the build fails with the following error:
failed to solve: process "/bin/sh -c mvn clean install -DskipTests" did not complete successfully: exit code: 1
Do you have any suggestions on how to fix this error?

27

Hey @David_Griffith ,
Sorry about that.
The build runs fine in the CI environment

Can you try running mvn clean install -DskipTests on your local machine if you have maven installed??
Probably you have some breaking change locally.

I get the following error when I run mvn clean install -DskipTests. It looks like I’m missing artifacts.

I looked in the .m2/repository folder and .m2/repository/org/itech/dataexport-api didn’t exist so
I cloned dataexport projec and ran mvn clean install with it, but that only has version 0.0.0.2 and OpenElis calls for version 0.0.0.7 according to its pom.xml. Where can I get dataexport-api-0.0.0.2.jar?

The DataExport-api is included in the OpenELIS Global repo as a git submodule.

To clone and Install the submodule locally ,

  1. git submodule update --init --recursive
  2. cd dataexport
  3. mvn clean install

Note . The above will clone the right dataexport version ie 0.0.0.7

I updated the instructions a bit ,
You can do the maven build locally and just mount the war file as a volume to the docker-container .

That way you don’t have to entirely do a local docker build as it often takes longer

Hi @Moses_Mutesasira,

Thank you for all your help. It turns out I was on the master branch. After switching to the develop branch, I was able to build the site from the source as expected.

Hi @Moses_Mutesasira, I am making small changes to the css files and then running docker-compose -f build.docker-compose.yml up -d --build to see my changes. This works, however the build process takes some time because it is downloading a lot of files from https://repo.maven.apache.org every time. Is there a way to speed this up and just build and deploy the local resources?

Just run with the docker-compose file that pulls pre published images and directly mount the compiled war file into the existing containers .
You don’t need to rebuild the images

docker-compose up -d

Thank you! I appreciate the help :slight_smile:

Hi,
I was trying to setup OpenELIS_Global-2 by cloning the repository.
It seems there is one dependency org.itech.dataexport-api that is creating a problem during mvn clean install -DskipTests command. The screenshot is attached below.
Thanks.

hey @Prajjwal_Kohli just a heads up, I have faced this error before but in my own experience it was a version of JDK that was failing the compilation so suggest you run and make sure you have openjdk version “11.0.21”

java -version

Thanks @Agaba_Derrick_Junior, I checked out the channel dedicated to this issue and it was resolved.

Hey @Prajjwal_Kohli which channel did you refer because I am also facing the same problem

@Rishikesh_Banerjee

The solution is to point JAVA_HOME to java 11.0.21 jdk path.

Thank you @Prajjwal_Kohli
