core HA example doesn't run on command line about vertx-examples HOT 17 CLOSED

Yes, here are the right command line:

vertx run Server.java -ha -cluster-host 192.168.1.29 -cp ../../../../../../../../target/classes/:/Users/clement/Projects/vert.x/vertx-examples/examples-utils/target/classes

and

vertx bare -cluster-host 192.168.1.29 -cp ../../../../../../../../target/classes/:/Users/clement/Projects/vert.x/vertx-examples/examples-utils/target/classes

not really convenient, will find a different way.

(cluster-host is required on my computer because of my fancy network configuration)

I think for Java examples like this it doesn't really make sense to run them on the command line.

Running in the IDE would be much simpler, so probably just easier to update the README so it talks about running in the IDE only.

from vertx-examples.

Ok, but I need to start a bare instance from the IDE, and then kill a processus started by the IDE.

from vertx-examples.

Just a thought. The main issue in running the Java examples from the command line is that they reference the ExampleRunner class...

Maybe instead of using that class we can use Launcher directly and change Launcher so it looks at vertx.cwd? Then we wouldn't have deps on other classes.

from vertx-examples.

We could also put the logic for cwd that resolves the cwd as I mentioned in another issue so this works seamlessly on Eclipse, NetBeans and IntelliJ?

from vertx-examples.

It would give something like:

// Convenience method so you can run it in your IDE
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    String exampleDir = "web-examples/src/main/java/" +  Server.class.getPackage().getName().replace(".", "/");

    try {
      // We need to use the canonical file. Without the file name is .
      File current = new File(".").getCanonicalFile();
      if (exampleDir.startsWith(current.getName())  && ! exampleDir.equals(current.getName())) {
        exampleDir = exampleDir.substring(current.getName().length() + 1);
      }
    } catch (IOException e) {
      // Ignore it.
    }

    Launcher.main(new String[] {
        "run",
        Server.class.getName(),
        "-Dvertx.cwd=" + exampleDir
    });
  }

WDYT ?

from vertx-examples.

Yes, like that, but I was thinking we should put the adjustment (i.e. the code inside the try..catch block) inside Launcher. Also you wouldn't need the "web-examples/src/main/java" part.

from vertx-examples.

We can do it in Launcher or in a "run-example" command. It would give something like:

Launcher.main(new String[] {
        "run-example",
        Server.class.getName()
    });

It can traverse the file system to find the associated Server.java file and set the vertx.cwd system property.

from vertx-examples.

I've fixed the HA example, using the Launcher. I've provided the instructions for the IDE and command line.

from vertx-examples.

Perfect

from vertx-examples.

I notice the other examples are still using the ExampleRunner (as reported on a user report in the google group today)

from vertx-examples.

Yes, the ExampleRunner is still used. The "intelligent cwd detection" has been implemented here.

from vertx-examples.

Ah ok. I thought we were going to implement in Launcher (as mentioned in your example above)?

Then the example only has dependencies on core code and is much easier to run without having to depend on ExampleRunner....

from vertx-examples.

Yes, but it was too close to the 3.1 deadline to implement this in the launcher. It will be in 3.2 (it's on my todo list).

from vertx-examples.

It's not the same issue. This one was about running HA which has been fixed. Replacing the ExampleRunner should be another issue (I'm going to create one for this)

from vertx-examples.

Closing this one as the replacement of the ExampleRunner is covered by #97
