Unable to update Play! Scala app to CloudFoundry

Im having the same problem as this user: Cloud Foundry Playframework : Error 310: Staging failed:

I added a mysql service to my app. I updated the app with the command:

vmc update app-name --path=dist/my-dist.zip

It responds saying the update is ok. When I go to my apps view, it says the app is stopped. When i try executing 

vmc start app-name

it crashes with the same error:

vmc start app-name
Staging Application 'app-name': ...Error 310: Staging failed: 'Staging task failed:

Solution

  • Update on the previous post (addressing scala specifically):

    1. please avoid using a manifest at this time
    2. vmc push
    3. after you do an app change:

    play clean dist && vmc update <app> --path <app dist path>

    Here is my example: 

    play clean dist && vmc update ghelloworld --path "/Users/ggross/Dropbox/play-work/helloworld-scala/dist"

    Original answer (addresses java deployment):

    Ok, I don't have your app specifically, so here is what I did. Using the example at Start Cloudfoundry

    I created the example Play! app, and deployed to Cloudfoundry. I was careful to select "2 - Create a simple Java application".

    I then made a simple change to "Application.java".

    Next I did the following:

    $vmc dist
$vmc update garyhelloplay --path=dist/garyhello-java-1.0-SNAPSHOT.zip

    This completed successfully, and I was able to view the result from my browser. NOTE: the first deployment took a long time (minutes), so that required some patience. If you would like us to review your app specifically, please open a ticket at Cloudfoundry Support, we will take a look, and post the results here.
