Hi Alexander,

Could you please attach the output when you get attempt to build the tool adapters and get the build failed message.

Please attach them to your posting by selecting the "Attach?" option before posing.

Thanks,

Hi Alex,

From looking at the build output, I think the problem here is that the lams_build/lib/lams/lams.jar is out of date.

You can fix this by getting the latest code for the lams_common project, then running the copy-lams-jar-to-shared-folder ant task in the lams_common project. After that try running the deploy tool for the tool adapter again.

Also ensure your checking out code from the lams2_3_1 tag

Luke, thank you very much for your help!

Please tell me if i wrong with something: i got lams_common (2_3_1 tag), entered and run "ant copy-lams-jar-to-shared-folder":

Microsoft Windows XP [Версия 5.1.2600]
>cd C:\Documents and Settings\Александр\lams2_3\lams_common
..\lams2_3\lams_common>ant copy-lams-jar-to-shared-folder
Buildfile: build.xml
BUILD FAILED
Target "copy-lams-jar-to-shared-folder" does not exist in the project "LAMS".
Total time: 1 second

Is it something wrong with command or i need some additional projects?

P.S. As far as i understand, it will be ok if i'll build LAMS 2.3.1 from source?

Sincerely,
Alexander

Aaah sorry my mistake.

Then ant task should be copy-lams-jar-to-shared-lib no copy-lams-jar-to-shared-folder...

Try that and hopefully that will work

Luck, thank you for your help, but there is still some problem (please see attached file).

By the way, can i get a right version of lams.jar or it can only be compiled?

Alex.

Alex,

It looks like ant cannot find the third-party libraries it needs to build.

What does your directory structure look like?

You should have lams_build, tool_adapters and lams_common directories all under the same directory.

You also need to make sure you have correctly edited the common.properties and the <your os>.properties

I would suggest looking at this page for more information about building lams:

wiki.lamsfoundation.org/display/lams/Building+LAMS

Luke,

sorry for my late answer, i was on vacation and now started Moodle-LAMS tools integration from the beginning (having LAMS 2.3.1 and Moodle 1.9.3):

I checked out temp_moodle_dev, tool_adapters, lams_build and lams_common projects (all with lams2_3_1 tag).

After all configurations, i make «ant deploy-tool», but there is BUILD FAILED error immediately: C:\tool_adapters\moodle\lams_tool_mdlassignment\build.xml:239: c:\lams\jboss-4.0
.2\common\lib not found.

I have the following correct path in my windows.properties file:
jboss.home=c:/lams/jboss-4.0.2/
but originally there was «jboss.home=D:/jboss-5/». May be i’m wrong with checking out projects? I used «lams2_3_1» tag.

Thank you,
Alex.

Alex,

What does your lams_build/windows.properties look like?

It looks to me like you have got the wrong version of lams_build... and possibly the other projects too.

If you have the correct version of lams_build, in the windows.properties file there should be a line that reads

j2eelibs=${jboss.server.instance}/lib

not

j2eelibs=${jboss.home}/common/lib

After 2.3.1 we have moved to jboss-5 and some of the directory structures have changed. It looks like the lams_build project is expecting jboss-5, but if it was checked out from the lams2_3_1 tag, it would be expecting jboss-4.0.2.

Try checking out again, make sure you are checking out lams2_3_1 source

Luke, thank you for your help!

Of course you are right about projects for jboss-5. Now i checked out (using Eclipse) projects with lams2_3_1 tag (jboss-4.0.2 in lams_build properties files), made deployment with "build successful" for all tools, but now lams can't start at all.
I looked at server.log file (please see attachment) and there are deployment errors there like that:


2009-08-17 16:00:39,406 ERROR [org.jboss.deployment.MainDeployer] could not start deployment: file:/C:/lams/jboss-4.0.2/server/default/deploy/lams.ear/

Hi, looking at the server.log, the assignment tool project has been updated, but it can't find some of the classes it needs - if you haven't already done so, you'll probably need to rebuild the core lams libraries as well - 'ant assemble-ear; ant deploy-ear; ant copy-files' in the lams_build project.

Jun-Dir, thank you very much for your help!

I'm using LAMS 2.3 installer with 2.3.1 patch. Please tell me if the problem is in core libraries and i need to rebuild them as if i'm building LAMS from source?
I tried to make ant 'assemble-ear' in lams_build, but there is compiler error (please see attachment).

P.S. Do i need all LAMS projects under the same directory to make rebuild (i had only lams_build and lams_common)?

P.S.2. Please tell me how to set IP-address for LAMS if i will build it from source without installer?

Thanks ahaid, sincerely,
Alexander

Hi Alex,

Here are the instruction how to build LAMS 2.3:

http://wiki.lamsfoundation.org/display/lams/Building+LAMS

Also, here are instructions on how to set up your development environment:

http://wiki.lamsfoundation.org/display/lams/Development+Environment

Now the latest development, not yet release, LAMS version 2.4 uses JBoss-5. So if you want to build the latest, please follow these instructions:

http://wiki.lamsfoundation.org/display/lams/Building+LAMS+2.4

Thanks,

Ernie
