Can't Deploy Drools Workbench to Tomcat because "repository root does not exist"

I have slowly been working through errors in the Drools Workbench deploy process, but I am stumped by this particular one. 

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Repository root does not exist: repositories\kie
at org.guvnor.m2repo.backend.server.GuvnorM2Repository.getGuvnorM2Repository(GuvnorM2Repository.java:480)
at org.guvnor.m2repo.backend.server.GuvnorM2Repository.setM2Repos(GuvnorM2Repository.java:116)
at org.guvnor.m2repo.backend.server.GuvnorM2Repository.init(GuvnorM2Repository.java:96)

Can anyone help out?

Solution

  • Have you tried setting a valid path for the M2 repository (user running application server must have write rights on this path) ? JBoss property looks like this : 

    org.guvnor.m2repo.dir=/tmp/repositories

    Or in the xml version of the configuration : 

    <property name="org.guvnor.m2repo.dir" value="/tmp/repositories"/>

    Tomcat configuration should be quite similar.
