[tigerstripe-dev] FW: Issue: Unable to clear target directory

["Zhang, Jin-Zhai (TSG-GDCC-SH)" <jinzhai.zhang@xxxxxx>]

Title: Re: Issue: Unable to clear target directory

Hi Team,

   

 Please find following an investigation on bug: "Unable to clear target directory" ,https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=251858

 

One of the symptoms of this bug is that we can not delete (manually, or when run doc generation plugin) volocity log file located at folder target/tigerstripe.gen.

  

1. When the Velocity engine runs, org.apache.log.format.Formatter not found (refer to attached ts-documentation.velocity (error).log)

 

Reason:

    a lib is missing.

 

Action:

     I add a missing lib (avalon-logkit-2.1.jar) to tigerstripe workbench:

       1. add avalon-logkit-2.1.jar to eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.tigerstripe.workbench.base_0.4.6.v200905071426.jar/lib

       2. update org.eclipse.tigerstripe.workbench.base_0.4.6.v200905071426.jar/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF

           In line 237, add "lib/avalon-logkit-2.1.jar"

 

Result:

       1) Now the exception disappears, and no other exception in velocity log (ts-documentation.velocity.log). but the issue remains: still can not delete the log file.

       2) but the issue remains: still can not delete the log file.

 

Remark:

      The missing files can be found at http://www.apache.org/dist/excalibur/avalon-logkit/jars/

 

2. Can not delete velocity log file even when no related lib missed

We guess the senario is: When we run the doc plugin for the first time, tigerstripe starts the velocity engine (please refer to setClasspathLoaderForVelocity method, TemplateBasedRule.java class, tigerstipe workbench.base plugin),  velocity engine constructs and writes a log file, and generates our pdf file. When we run the doc plugin again, the engine still refers to the log file, so we cannot delete it.

If so, a possible fix is, in all cases or when we choose "Clear target directory before generate", in tigerstripe workbench code, we should close the velocity log file once we finished generation job and create new log file when we start a new generation job.

best regards,

Jinzhai

Hi Zhang,

There is already a bug in Bugzilla 
about this ( see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=251858 
). Unfortunately, we’ve had trouble reproducing it, so we had to 
downgrade.

I suggest we move the discussion to that bug or the mailing 
list so we have that discussion publicly.

Is there anything specific that 
you can think of that would have triggered that? Any 
Hint?

Eric

Subject: Issue: Unable to clear target directory

Hi Richard,

  I'm playing a tigerstripe plugin (tip doc plugin) with a tigerstripe project (TIP_Test_Model1) to generate PDF doc. For the tigerstripe project, if I do not choose "Clear target directory before generate", then the plugin works fine.

If I do choose "Clear target directory before generate" (as showd below),



then with the new Tigerstripe.xml, I am doing 2 times of generations in sequence, just one after another without doing anything in between. I have a problem:
- the first generation when there is no target directory goes well.
- the second one fails: the log is:

"[Unable to clear target directory (C:\Projects\tip\Features\Framework\2_IA\models\Test Models\TIP_Test_Model1\target\tigerstripe.gen)]
Error: An error was detected while generating a Tigerstripe project. Generation maybe incomplete."
We have tested with tigerstripe 0.4.4 and 0.4.6 (official) .

Would you please help to analyze this issue?
