Maven build failing with 'is not a valid directory' - ant

Question

I am trying to use Jenkins to build a maven project (same failure at cmd line!) and I get the below error. I can't see any permissions issues and have tried several changes to permissions to see if it is a linux side error but no luck? Any ideas?

Answer 1

Well, as you yourself pointed out, this is the error:
[ERROR] /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/01_export-atas-osbconfig/build/ant/osb-config-export.xml:12: /u01/Oracle/Middleware/oepe is not a valid directory
You also say that the same error happens from command line, so this is not an issue with Jenkins's user permissions, Jenkins environment variables or workspace
You need to look at the code on line 12 of /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/01_export-atas-osbconfig/build/ant/osb-config-export.xml. Please edit that file into the original question.
But it seems pretty obvious, it cannot access /u01/Oracle/Middleware/oepe. What happens when you just open command prompt and do cd /u01/Oracle/Middleware/oepe?
There is also this:
Property "export.log.dir" has not been set
I don't know if you are expecting that error or not. Looks like you need to provide an additional property value.
Edit 1:
So, if the cd /u01/Oracle/Middleware/oepe works from command line and the structure looks good, it could be filesystem permissions. Try executing your maven command with a sudo in front of it. If that works, then we will need to look closer at permissions.
Secondly, try executing the java command outside of the ant script, on command line, from within /u01/Oracle/Middleware/oepe:
/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_30/jre/bin/java -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Xmx768m -Dsun.lang.ClassLoader.allowArraySyntax=true -Dweblogic.home=/u01/Oracle/Middleware/wlserver_10.3 -Dharvester.home=/u01/Oracle/Middleware/osb_11/harvester -Dosb.home=/u01/Oracle/Middleware/osb_11 -Dosgi.bundlefile.limit=500 -Dosgi.nl=en_US -Dmiddleware.home=/u01/Oracle/Middleware -Dosgi.logfile=/var/lib/jenkins/workspace/01_export-atas-osbconfig/osbflows/atas/export.log -jar /u01/Oracle/Middleware/oepe/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.2.0.v20110502.jar -data /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/01_export-atas-osbconfig/osbflows/atas -application com.bea.alsb.core.ConfigExport -configProject ATAS_Configuration -configJar /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/01_export-atas-osbconfig/osbflows/atas/target/atas-10.0.jar -includeDependencies true -debug

Answer 2

I only have general advice in this situation--try to pinpoint where the error is coming from. We're seeing an error that's coming out of a combination of Maven, the Maven Ant plugin (I assume), Jenkins, and the actual Java command that's calling the OSB export. Break it down to the simplest one first (just call the java command yourself to see what works), then layer on top of it until you find where the breakage is occuring.
For instance, I don't know whether what is being logged to the console is actually the same java command it's calling, or if that's something you're logging yourself by guessing at the call:
[java] Executing '/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_30/jre/bin/java' with arguments:
[java] '-XX:MaxPermSize=256m'
[java] '-Xmx768m'
[java] '-Dsun.lang.ClassLoader.allowArraySyntax=true'
[java] '-Dweblogic.home=/u01/Oracle/Middleware/wlserver_10.3'
[java] '-Dharvester.home=/u01/Oracle/Middleware/osb_11/harvester'
[java] '-Dosb.home=/u01/Oracle/Middleware/osb_11'
[java] '-Dosgi.bundlefile.limit=500'
[java] '-Dosgi.nl=en_US'
[java] '-Dmiddleware.home=/u01/Oracle/Middleware'
[java] '-Dosgi.logfile=/var/lib/jenkins/workspace/01_export-atas-osbconfig/osbflows/atas/export.log'
[java] '-jar'
[java] '/u01/Oracle/Middleware/oepe/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.2.0.v20110502.jar'
[java] '-data'
[java] '/var/lib/jenkins/workspace/01_export-atas-osbconfig/osbflows/atas'
[java] '-application'
[java] 'com.bea.alsb.core.ConfigExport'
[java] '-configProject'
[java] 'ATAS_Configuration'
[java] '-configJar'
[java] '/var/lib/jenkins/workspace/01_export-atas-osbconfig/osbflows/atas/target/atas-10.0.jar'
[java] '-includeDependencies'
[java] 'true'
[java] '-debug'
First, take that and call it yourself as the same user that Jenkins is running as. That would let you know whether you're even able to call this:
/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_30/jre/bin/java -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Xmx768m -Dsun.lang.ClassLoader.allowArraySyntax=true -Dweblogic.home=/u01/Oracle/Middleware/wlserver_10.3 -Dharvester.home=/u01/Oracle/Middleware/osb_11/harvester -Dosb.home=/u01/Oracle/Middleware/osb_11 -Dosgi.bundlefile.limit=500 -Dosgi.nl=en_US -Dmiddleware.home=/u01/Oracle/Middleware -Dosgi.logfile=/var/lib/jenkins/workspace/01_export-atas-osbconfig/osbflows/atas/export.log -jar /u01/Oracle/Middleware/oepe/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.2.0.v20110502.jar -data /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/01_export-atas-osbconfig/osbflows/atas -application com.bea.alsb.core.ConfigExport -configProject ATAS_Configuration -configJar /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/01_export-atas-osbconfig/osbflows/atas/target/atas-10.0.jar -includeDependencies true -debug
Then, call the ant script that's doing that as the Jenkins user
Then, call the Maven plugin as the Jekins user,
then Jenkins itself
Don't walk down to the simplest solution, start there and walk up.
