Missing dependencies in Transduction Layer

[adrianaf]

Hi all,

first of all I wish you all a happy new year. I hope you had good vacations.

I updated the Transduction Layer and I was not able to build it anymore. I had to make the following changes:

• I added the following dependencies to the pom file:
  • apache commons-lang
  • uimafit-spring
  • stanford-corenlp I added the last version of each package.

• In FragmentAnnotatorEvaluator and ModifierAnnotatorEvaluator classes I modified the following row:

  Collection<File> xmiCollection = FileUtils.listFiles(new File(xmiDir), new String[]{"xmi"}, false);
  for(File xmiIn: xmiCollection) {
     ....
  }

I had to skip the tests too. After I applied these changes I was able to build the Transduction Layer again. What am I missing?

Thank you very much Adriana

Adriana, just to make sure this error persists, could you update the TL again now? There was some problem with the dependencies, which we solved - although it was in another place, let's try updating again. Thanks Lili

I updated again, but I still have the same problems.

If I apply the changes I wrote in the first post I'm able to build and everything works fine. But if I do not apply that changes, I'm not able to build the Transduction Layer.

Thank you Adriana

Hello, Adriana,

Can you describe to me how I can reproduce your error? For example,

1) clone this repository (e.g. your clone, or upstream) 2) try to build this and this without adding that & that ...

If I can reproduce your build failure, I can analysis it further for possible problems. But for now, it seems to me that the upstream is building Okay. So I am at a loss :-) Can you point to me a specific commit of your code / your version? (also with environments? --- e.g. windows, build with commandline, or build with Eclipse, etc etc)

Hi Gil,

sorry for the late answer.

My environment is configured as follows:

• 64 bit machine
• Windows 7
• Maven 3
• java 1.7
• git
• Eclipse Juno

I cloned the upstream through the command git clone https://github.com/hltfbk/Excitement-Transduction-Layer.git. I updated the project each time something changed through the command git pull or git fetch --all git reset --hard origin/master if I modified something and needed to overwrite my modifications.

When I updated the project the last time I had some errors due to missing dependencies (the ones I had to add to the pom file) and errors due to casting problems. I tried to build the project both from eclipse and command line, without success. I fixed these errors applying the changes I wrote in the first post.

Thank you Adriana

Hello Adriana,

Hmm. Let's try the following 2 phases.

Phrase #1. Please try the following; simply building the current upstream. If you fail on this, it means something in your environment is not Okay. I first need to make this sure. If this is passes, then we can pass to test phase #2.

• clone current upstream https://github.com/hltfbk/Excitement-Transduction-Layer.git
• install TreeTagger (1) go to /tl/src/scripts/treetagger/ (2) run > ant local-maven
• install globalgraphoptimizer (1) go to /globalgraphoptimizer (2) run > mvn package install
• do one full build on TL (1) goto /tl (2) run > mvn clean package

I just tested this again, and all build passes with all tests okay.

If this build is also Okay on your side, then I suspect that what hinders you from build is actually caused by the changes you have added on TL code project (goto phrase 2) . If this build is not okay on your side, then we have to concentrate on that issue. (contact me with the errors)

Phrase #2. In this case, I need your code (e.g. a Git repository that I can clone) to test what goes wrong there. So if Phase #1 passes, please let me know your Git repository or equivalence that I can copy/clone and test.

Sincerely, Gil

Hi Gil, hi all,

I’m still not able to solve the problem I wrote about on github (Issue

174).

By applying the changes I described I’m able to build the Transduction Layer, but I’m not able to run the demo, because when it tries to build the entailment graph I get the following error: NoClassDefFoundError: de/tudarmstadt/ukp/dkpro/core/tokit/BreakIteratorSegmenter. The Transduction Layer should import these packages, but even if I’ve added it to my program (of courseJ ), it is not able to find that packages.

I tried to checkout the Transduction Layer from scratch, I cleaned my maven repository (.m2 folder) and build everything again, but nothing seems to work.

Also, even when apply the modifications I described on github, when I try to build the Transduction Layer executing the tests (without skipping them) I get a build failure because 13 tests fail. I’m only able to build the TL applying all the changes and skipping the tests.

What can I do?

Thank you very much

Best regards

Adriana

Closing this issue, assuming it is closed. (caused by broken repository)
