Hi!
I am trying to build a clean install, using
mvn clean install
However, it fails every time with numerous errors in testing.
(too many to report here, but I can if it would help.
Is this usual, or to be expected?
Only this works.
mvn install -o -DskipTests

but I am worried that this will produce an unstable release.
Please advise.

Regards, Mats.E

please provide a bit more information about what/how are you building:

  • GeoNetwork version
  • Git branch / commit you have checked out
  • Commands you have run to clone/checkout the code
  • Command you have run to build GeoNetwork
  • Output of the commands failing.

Mats:

I spent some time in october/november fixing the test cases that were failing on macOS and I have been careful to ensure that building works since. I note I am just working on 3.12.x until its contents are synchronized with main.

What branch are you building?

I note my most common ways of failing to build:

  • not grabbing the submodules, on initial checkout or when switching branches :stuck_out_tongue:
  • accidentally using java 11 :stuck_out_tongue:
  • not running “cd web; mvn clean:clean@anonymised.com” to remove the gn database and various caches

Keep an eye on software_development for tips and tricks, and I have some more incoming.

Hi Jody!
Thank you for your attention.
Please bear with me, I am a rookie here and had made a mistake.
I was working in an outdated GitHub fork. Because I thought that fetching origin would keep my fork updated against master/main.
So I threw everything out and started from scratch. Now I am working in a local clone of Main, and GN 4 compiles without problems, including my new and improved language files (plus some ui language related corrections). I am happy so far.
But now I need to figure out a way to add my work to the next release of GN.

Hälsning / Regards
Mats.E

Hello Mats,
thanks for contributing your changes to the project. Please take a look at https://github.com/geonetwork/core-geonetwork/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md.
If the changes in languages are in the language JSON files they need to be imported in Transifex so we can keep them for the next releases.
