Ant "deploy" task is broken #5304
Comments
Guys, you need to specify in your installation guide that your ant script has dependency on ANT Contrib. I wasted 20 mins on googling. |
In 3.0 you can just use gradle and it solves that for you. The error in ant does tell you but sorry you ran into this. |
I used ant because that's what it says in your guide: http://dotcms.com/docs/latest/InstallingFromGit By the way while we're on topic. Could you please tell me why there is no /tomcat subfolder in git root ? |
you are working in master and master is NOT released yet. It is 3.0 and will be released at a later time this year. The doc will be updated as it is released. In master there is no tomcat you have to build the distro and such. If you are just trying to run the latest I suggest using our nightly builds http://dotcms.com/download/nightly.dot In master you can also just replace ANT with ./gradlew Maybe you should work in master-2.5 If you are trying to develop |
I'll be brutally honest, Jason. I'm choosing between number of Java-based CMS (Hippo, Magnolia, dotCMS) and it's second day I have hard time to get even demo installation running. I tried official 2.5.4 zip first which failed with gazzilion of exceptions. Then I decided to do hard way and build everything myself. On the other hand "master" version:
So I can't even evaluate the product which undermines desire to get enterprise version. In my humble opinion "ant war" should produce one-click-deploy WAR that I can push and run. Having updated guide at http://dotcms.com/docs/latest/warInstallation for Tomcat would be very helpful as well. |
And master version build via

I would definently recommend going with 2.5.4 which you can download from our download page. You should not be working from our source. It works and has worked for many people. I would point you to the mailing list if you had install issues. I would NOT try to run as a WAR. Just run normally for your demo. http://dotcms.com/docs/latest/InstallingFromRelease I bet you should be able to get this going. We have many clients and people who have it running. But again turn to the mailing list as you have issues |
Also I wonder if you are having issues because of Java 8. I would run in 7 if I was you. |
Ant "deploy" task is broken.

I'm using Ant 1.8.4 and Java 8
