Maven build error

Was attempting to follow the docs at Building Lucee 5 & 6 from source :: Lucee Documentation, and I get the following error after running mvn test:

I’m using OpenJDK 1.8.0_222, by the way, on Ubuntu 18.04.

Now, I was able to build using ant fast, but I wanted to put this out there. Do we need to update the Lucee build documentation?

Did you try this?

I ran it with the -X flag this morning. Here’s the full stack trace from that:

build-error.txt (12.8 KB)

This article gives a decent explanation of what is going on:

It would seem I need the BSG library as well as as Mozilla’s Rhino library or some other JS implementation.

are you on the 5.3 branch?

Just ran into the same error on branch 6.0

mvn test -X gives the following:

However, after reading the “Building Lucee 5 & 6 from source” docs more closely I read these lines:

  • Java 11 is recommended, Java 15 is not yet supported due the removal of the Nashorn Javascript engine which is used in the build process
  • Java 17 isn’t yet fully supported due to some Apache Felix issues (fixed in 5.3.9, but some extensions need updating)

So, sure enough, when I checked $JAVA_HOME I was using jdk 17 and not 11. Once I switched versions the build ran successfully.

thanks for sharing! I’m glad my efforts updating the build docs have helped someone :muscle: :dancing_women:

while on the topic, there’s bug which anyone trying to build lucee might hit, unless you have an existing maven cache ( the .m2 dir )
