Failed: Application context is required to execute goal [APP]

[momo-tong]

I got ERR "[main] [ERROR] e.steady.shared.util.StopWatch - [871638] [00.325 ms] Failed: Application context is required to execute goal [APP]" when using " java -jar steady-cli-3.2.5-jar-with-dependencies.jar -goal app"

I put spring-boot-security-saml-sample-2.0.0.RELEASE.jar in app, and copy dependencies in app/target/dependency. Running normal using steady-cli-3.2.4-jar-with-dependencies.jar, but update to 3.2.5, i got the error. I got the same error when reuse 3.2.4 version. Can you offer some suggestions or ideas?

Hi @momo-tong ,

this error usually happens when the application coordinates vulas.core.appContext.group = <GROUP>, vulas.core.appContext.artifact = <ARTIFACT>, vulas.core.appContext.version = <VERSION> are not provided in the steady-custom.properties configuration. Also note that the dependencies are distinguished from application code based on the configuration of vulas.core.app.appPrefixes = and vulas.core.app.appJarNames =.

See #542 for a similar issue and tutorial.

Hi Thank for your reply. I want to analyze spring-boot-security-saml-sample-2.0.0.RELEASE jar. Basically got the same error that tried the following configurations. By the way, pom.xml in the jar haves tag, doesn't that matter?

# parent tag in pom.xml of spring-boot-security-saml-sample-2.0.0.RELEASE jar

<parent>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
<version>2.1.1.RELEASE</version>
</parent>

When using the cli the pom.xml is not read, that's why information like the application context has to be provided in the steady-custom.properties configuration file.

From the stacktrace it looks like the configuration file is not read. The configuration file has to be named steady-custom.properties without any additional extension and the .sample present in the file provided in the zip archive has to be removed. The first configuration you provided looks good to me (assuming that the code inside the spring-boot-security-saml-sample uses has package name com.vdenotaris.spring.boot.security.saml).

Hi, Thank you very much for your help. I successfully run it. Thanks again.
