Doesn't build on Linux--- Gradle problems #7080

Closed Tafnab closed 3 years ago

Tafnab commented 3 years ago
JabRef version master -->

PLEASE DOWNLOAD a clean version of any Linux distro and see if you can build your package. I bet you can't.

The following build error occurs on multiple distros: Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 7.0. I don't have Gradle 7.0 on my system.

I believe version 7.0 is YOUR version of Gradle. My gradle versions are 4, 5, and 6. Is there some quick fix? Is your script downloading the latest gradle which has broken the build?

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. ...clone repo at https://github.com/JabRef/jabref
  2. ... gradlew build
  3. ... one task fails: Task :generateBstGrammarSource FAILED
  4. Fails exactly the same way on Debian-based & latest OpenSuse Tumbleweed
  5. Github tests are passing, but JabRef doesn't build
  6. If these aren't the correct steps to build, perhaps you can suggest some. You didn't include any build instructions. I'm guessing based on other projects what the proper steps are.

No, gradle 7 is incorrect. You need to use the provided gradle wrapper version. ./gradlew build

The deprecated gradle features is just a warning. https://devdocs.jabref.org/getting-into-the-code/guidelines-for-setting-up-a-local-workspace

Glad to see your project is still in business, but I'm telling you there is a serious problem. Following these instructions a second time is not likely to improve the situation.

I think what's going on is that you can't compile on Linux using OpenJDK. Is that right? JavaFX appears to only be available from Oracle. I already have two Java environments, plus 3 Gradles. I haven't really been keeping count. Isn't Oracle clamping down on users somehow? I hesitate to deal with those people.

By contrast, Zotero built perfectly the first time using the instructions they provided. It's not as good as JabRef, but I can at least fix the things I want to fix.
