No instructions to use this project from Maven?

[aborroy]

It looks too complex to use this project from Maven, since it's required to download two different source projects, build them and add them to local Maven repository.

Almost useless when working with Maven.

You can find the instructions to include it in a maven build.

Did you try these instructions recently? I think the artifact is not available in that repository... This is why I had to build everything by my own.

Just tested by creating a new maven project. My pom file looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
         xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>

    <groupId>net.andreinc.mockneattest</groupId>
    <artifactId>mockneattest</artifactId>
    <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>

    <repositories>
        <repository>
            <id>jcenter</id>
            <url>https://jcenter.bintray.com/</url>
        </repository>
    </repositories>
    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>net.andreinc.mockneat</groupId>
            <artifactId>mockneat</artifactId>
            <version>0.3.7</version>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>

</project>

It works for me.
Are you sure you don't have some networking issues that won't allow you to download the artifact.

PS: Refrain from using terms like "useless". It's not nice.

[aborroy]

You are right, it was not elegant to use that "useless". This is a great work and I was frustrated not to be able to use it.

The problem with that is the dependency seems not to be working, as I'm getting following error:

Are there any other dependencies missing?

[nomemory]

This is indeed very awkward...

1. I've created a new maven project from scratch (with the pom file attached).
2. I've used the countries() method and it worked.

Maybe the library was not compiled successfully...

What I suggest:

1. Remove the local maven dependency (maybe the sources were not compiled correctly).
2. Create a project from scratch and that uses a similar pom config as the one I've attached.
3. Try to run the mockneat project from there.
4. Try to do it in an internet network that is "open".

In jcenter() - the repo were the library was made public I can see everyday a lot of download logs, and I am 100% people are using it from maven all the time, from all over the world, without issues. So I believe it's a problem in your local setup...

Another thing I can try help you -> if it's possible share the sources of the project where you are currently using mockneat (if it's possible, of course) and I can try to make them run on my machine.

Thanks for you help, really appreciated.

It looks like there is some problem when using the library inside a Spring Boot application.

	<parent>
		<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
		<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
		<version>2.0.5.RELEASE</version>
		<relativePath/>
	</parent>

When removing this dependency, the code runs fine.

Let me study this deeper and I'll come back with my findings.

In this project you can see a spring boot application that uses mockneat. And it's using maven.

Tell me how it went I am curious to understand what was the issue.

[aborroy]

Definitively it was my fault. Now it's working fine.

It looks like my ".m2" folder was corrupted. I've removed it completely and now mockneat dependency has been dowloaded correctly.

Sorry for taking your time.

[nomemory]

No problem! Good luck.
