Apache Geode Pulse WAR File

I am following the Apache Geode build instructions to build the project. My environment is Windows 10.

What I am actually interested is to get Geode Pulse WAR artifact from the build. However, the build is not successful because of errors like this,

> Could not resolve all files for configuration ':geode-core:integrationTestCompileClasspath'.
   > Could not find log4j-core-tests.jar (org.apache.logging.log4j:log4j-core:2.11.1).
     Searched in the following locations:
         file:/C:/Users/james/.m2/repository/org/apache/logging/log4j/log4j-core/2.11.1/log4j-core-2.11.1-tests.jar
   > Could not find log4j-core-test-sources.jar (org.apache.logging.log4j:log4j-core:2.11.1).
     Searched in the following locations:
         file:/C:/Users/james/.m2/repository/org/apache/logging/log4j/log4j-core/2.11.1/log4j-core-2.11.1-test-sources.jar

How do I skip all the tests including integration tests or continue to build with tests failure? I have tried gradlew build -x test but it broke with the same build error. Please advise. Thanks

Solution

I've had this issue in the past and I believe it's related to your local MAVEN repository, not to Geode. Can you try to entirely remove the folder C:/Users/james/.m2/repository/org/apache/logging/log4j/log4j-core/2.11.1 and try again?, MAVEN will surely download the jar from scratch and everything should work fine.

Cheers.
