Why build Labkey but the ./build/deploy/modules is empty? Jon (LabKey DevOps)  2016-10-29 00:48

Hello,

There are a lot of errors in your logs and it looks like most of them are due to configuration problems.

Have you gone through our "Set up a Development Machine" documentation?

https://www.labkey.org/home/Documentation/wiki-page.view?name=build

Also, what type of IDE are you using here? Are you using IntelliJ or something else?

One of the distinct things is that noticeable is that you are running this on a Windows machine and it also appears that you're not pulling from our SVN repository since the file paths you have listed look like they're downloaded bits that contain source files rather than the code being pulled down from our SVN repository.

For example:

C:\LabKey16.1-42836.12-src\server\build.xml:507: The file C:\LabKey16.1-42836.12-src\server/config.properties does not exist. Please choose a database platform by running 'ant pick_pg' or 'ant pick_mssql'

Did you make sure you had setup all of the appropriate .properties files for your instance before you tried to run an "ant build"? Did you run an "ant pick_pg" to get a PostgreSQL configuration chosen or an "ant pick_mssql" to get an MS SQL configuration chosen for the LabKey instance after setting up the .properties files as mentioned in our development docs that I mentioned earlier?

Regards,

Jon
