I've encountered a problem with build and running

by **MTGfan** » 31 Oct 2016, 05:46

A few days ago or so I successfully cloned built and ran to test a card no yet added. From within netbeans I right clicked on mage root and selected build with dependencies. Which resulted in it stopping at mage tests. From info I gathered on the forum here that was ok. Attempting to run mage server resulted in an error (Failed to execute goal org.codehaus.mojo:exec-maven-plugin:1.2.1:exec (default-cli) on project mage-server). To which the solution I gathered from the forum was to use mvn clean install -DskipTests. Which resulted in 100% complete success build including mage tests and the 3 items after it. And I was then able to successfully run mage server and respectively mage client after it.

Unfortunately a change that was merged (github . com/magefree/mage/commit/db4644cbc12db0645be6238de4947acd3643f605) is now preventing me from being able to use mvn clean install -DskipTests so that it has 100% complete successful build so that I can run mage server and client. The error I get from mvn clean install -DskipTests is:

Code: Select all: [ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.5.1:compile (default-compile) on project mage-sets: Compilation failure [ERROR] /C:/NetBeans/MyRepo/mage/Mage.Sets/src/mage/cards/v/VengefulArchon.java:[84,55] cannot find symbol [ERROR] symbol: class ManacostVariableValue [ERROR] location: class mage.cards.v.VengefulArchonEffect

Is there something I need to do on my PC to fix this problem or was that change that was merged causing this problem for everyone?

Whatever the cause of this was it is no longer a problem as of me posting this reply. I retrieved all the changes made since creating the thread to now and everything is working as normal again.

Good to hear! Yeah that 'mvn clean install -DskipTests' command is a godsend for all sorts of weird build issues.

Which is why when even it failed to work I was like woh something might be unknown and posted about it. Probably some sort of software issue and not exactly xmage code related. Possibly a bad transfer of a file or something.
