Adding dependencies on external packages

[doru1004]

Let's say I have a GitHub repo with the third party Java code and I want to add is a dependency since kamel run is complaining that it can't find the package.

Without kamel, what I do is clone the repo then call mvn install and then add the dependency in the pom.xml in the usual way. How would I proceed in the kamel run case?

you can use a special syntax that allow to leverage jitpack:

kamel run -d github:$user/$repo

I see that this works only with version 1.0.0 and I'm using RC2. I have another issue opened of what happens when I use version 1.0.0: #1542

[lburgazzoli]

you can do the same without the special syntax, you should follow the instructions on the jitpack site so:

• add a maven repo
• use the jitpack syntax

As an example, let's assume that the repo I want to install is this one:

https://github.com/apache/camel

What would be the command you have in mind? I'm not sure I understand the steps you suggested.

Looks like I have managed to get the latest version of Kamel to work (build from source with latest master). I might be able to actually use your initial suggestion:

kamel run -d github:$user/$repo

The project Github repo path is similar to this: https://github.com/apache/camel

What is the precise -d parameter I need to construct for that? Is it this:

kamel run -d github:apache/camel <path to my java file>

?

[lburgazzoli]

kamel run -d github:apache/camel

yes

[doru1004]

I tried this:

kamel run -d github:$user/$repo path/to/KafkaProducer.java

And the builder errored:

camel-k-kit-brlt2h4evfv6ukf4201g-builder   0/1     Init:Error   0          9s

> kubectl logs camel-k-kit-brlt2h4evfv6ukf4201g-builder
Error from server (BadRequest): container "buildah" in pod "camel-k-kit-brlt2h4evfv6ukf4201g-builder" is waiting to start: PodInitializing

Is there a way to get more information about the failure?

[doru1004]

Any way to get more feedback as to what goes on during the building process?

[doru1004]

Can you give me an example of a GitHub dependency that you have personally tried and it worked for you? I'm trying to pass dependencies via -d that are unrelated to my example and all I am getting is the error above in the builder.

[doru1004]

I have managed to get my example to work so I'm closing this.
