how to solve the problem occurs during build Conductor

Question

I'm new to Conductor.I cloned the source code from the github and try to start the local server according to the tutorial at https://netflix.github.io/conductor/intro/ using windows OS，howerver,it builds failed,the error message is as follows:

> Task :conductor-server:server FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':conductor-server:server'.
> A problem occurred starting process 'command 'C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_74\bin\java.exe''

* Try:
Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.

* Exception is:
org.gradle.api.tasks.TaskExecutionException: Execution failed for task ':conductor-server:server'.

Answer 1

I recommend not using windows for Conductor. I was also using conductor in my windows machine, I faced a lot of issues. I am using the Conductor in my ubuntu machine now for almost 2 months. I did not face any issue with it until now. Adding this plugin helps for now. But you face issues later.

plugins {
id 'nebula.netflixoss' version '5.1.1'
id 'com.github.kt3k.coveralls' version '2.8.2'
id 'com.github.ManifestClasspath' version '0.1.0-RELEASE'}

Answer 2

This happens due to all jar files with absolute path being added to classpath and windows having a limit use below plugin in your build.gradle and you should be able to start your conductor server

plugins {
  id 'com.github.ManifestClasspath' version '0.1.0-RELEASE'
}
