Re: [geomesa-users] Build error in GeoMesa after checking it out from so

["James Hughes" <jnh5y@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Justin,

Thanks for pointing that out.  It can be difficult when writing documentation to separate out all of one's assumption.  Here, we missed the baseline requirement that GeoMesa be built on a Linux system.  I'll add a line or two to the tutorial tomorrow.

While there is some support for Hadoop on Windows, I am unaware of support for Accumulo on Windows.  Given that, it is unlikely we will be able to provide Windows support for GeoMesa. 

I happen to have Windows on my personal laptop, so I'd be happy if the GeoMesa build worked out of the box.  Since it does not, I'd suggest using a Linux VM for the build.

Thanks,

Jim

[geomesa-users] Build error in GeoMesa after checking it out from source

I am trying to build GeoMesa following the Quick Start tutorial here:
http://www.geomesa.org/2014/05/28/geomesa-quickstart/

I have already successfully installed Accumulo and verified that I could run it and create a table.  I was also able to successfully check out the code tree with git.

Unfortunately, "mvn clean install" failed while running the GeoMesa Avro SimpleFeature tests.

This is the failure message:

Running org.locationtech.geomesa.feature.serde.Version1BackwardsCompatTest
Tests run: 7, Failures: 1, Errors: 0, Skipped: 0, Time elapsed: 0.308 sec <<< FAILURE! - in org.locationtech.geomesa.feature.serde.Version1BackwardsCompatTest

I have attached the full log.

I am not sure what could have gone wrong; the "DOWNLOAD AND BUILD GEOMESA" section is literally a two-step process, and it failed on the second step.  And the failure message is somewhat mysterious, as the two strings of question marks are most certainly equal to one another.
