Pact-jvm fails to build on master

[ewebprojects]

Attempt to build the project from the sources fail on master (checked out earlier today)

with java 8:
./gradlew clean build leads to
'Execution failed for task ':provider:lein:compileClojure' > Metaspace

with java 11
./gradlew clean build leads to
Execution failed for task ':provider:dokkaJavadoc'

Can you advise please what is the required configuration needed to build the project ? what version of java+gradle to use, what are the memory settings..etc. thanks.

Master branch needs to be built with JDK 8. I don't have an issue building it, but I have a computer with a lot of RAM. Hoe much RAM does your machine have?

You can change the Metaspace settings (see Class Metadata https://docs.oracle.com/javase/10/gctuning/other-considerations.htm#JSGCT-GUID-BFB89453-60C0-42AC-81CA-87D59B0ACE2E)

thanks for the quick reply, it seems the dokka task is no longer erroring with java 8.

Although now there is an error on the next task triggered with ./gradlew build:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':provider:signMavenPublicationPublication'.
> Cannot perform signing task ':provider:signMavenPublicationPublication' because it has no configured signatory

I see the same error when running ./gradlew publishToMavenLocal (as indicated in the contributing guide https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-jvm/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)

Any idea ? I just want to install the jars in my local maven repo.

CONTRIBUTING.md hasn't been updated in a long time, and is out of date.

To publish to your Maven local repo, you need to have created a GPG key and then set in ~/.gradle/gradle.properties:

signing.keyId                 # this is your GPG key ID
signing.password              # GPG key password
signing.secretKeyRingFile     # Path to the GPG secret key file

@ewebprojects I think we should leave this open until the documentation is updated. Also it would be nice if signing weren't required to publish to local maven repository.

FYI this is a good resource to link to for GPG https://gist.github.com/phit/bd3c6d156a2fa5f3b1bc15fa94b3256c

I had to set org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx3g -XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=512m -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 in my ~/.gradle/gradle.properties to fix metaspace problems with JDK 11
