`name` and `version` not generated

Expected:

name and version are optional. If name is not specified, the compiler gets its value automatically from the class name. When version is omitted, compiler first try to find a file named VERSION with version information, if the file isn't there, then, it gets the version from pom.xml.

Getting:

I'm trying to update metadata generation logic of Brandeis Stanford services using org.lappsgrid.annotations, where I found name gets empty string "", version gets "0.0.0.UNKNOWN"

Code:

parent class

@org.lappsgrid.annotations.CommonMetadata(
        vendor = "http://www.cs.brandeis.edu/",
        license = "apache2",
        allow = "any",
        language = { "en" }
)
public abstract class AbstractStanfordCoreNLPWebService implements WebService {
    ...
}

service class

@org.lappsgrid.annotations.ServiceMetadata(
        description = "Stanford CoreNLP Coreference",
        requires_format = { "text", "lif" },
        produces_format = { "lif" },
        produces = { "coref" }
)
public class Coreference extends AbstractStanfordCoreNLPWebService {
    ...
}

result: edu.brandeis.cs.lappsgrid.stanford.corenlp.Coreference.json

name is properly generated with 1.1.0, but the generation of version is not working - still getting "0.0.0.UNKNOWN".

org.lappsgrid.annotations/src/main/java/org/lappsgrid/annotation/processing/MetadataProcessor.java

Lines 288 to 292 in acbe190

    
           File pom = new File("pom.xml"); 
        
           if (!file.exists()) 
        
           { 
        
           	return "0.0.0.UNKNOWN"; 
        
           }

Maybe the path to pom.xml is not correct?

I think I just set a record for staring at a typo... Can you test the 1.1.1-SNAPSHOT?

Now getting POM_NOT_FOUND.
The problem is that MetadataProcessor does not go into pom.xml to find version information, unlike documented here.
Since validating the path "pom.xml" fails, I wonder if that's a valid path from the point of jvm or maven at the runtime of MetadataProcessor.

I've just pushed a new SNAPSHOT as you aren't even getting the correct error message anymore.

The problem was on line 288 & 289 in the original file. Line 288 declared

File pom = new File("pom.xml")

but line 289 tested

if (!file.exists()) { ... }

where file was declared in the code above and was used to test for the VERSION file, which we know doesn't exist at that point in the code.

The pom file is expected to be found in the current working directory. So if testing from within an IDE make sure it is setting the working directory correctly. You can test on the command line by creating a VERSION file that contains a single line:

echo "foobar" > VERSION
mvn clean compile

The generated metadata files should now have foobar for the version field.

Ah, I didn't noticed that when you talked about the "typo".

The new snapshot works perfectly!
Closing this issue.

	File pom = new File("pom.xml");
	if (!file.exists())
	{
	return "0.0.0.UNKNOWN";
	}
