Errors compiling Optashift out-of-the-box?

Question

I just tried to install Optashift, and got a problem compiling it straight out of the box:

I get this error:

What can be the problem?

Can I deploy this war in a simple Tomcat (I got errors trying it) or are there Openshift dependencies in this project?

Answer 1

The .provision.sh script doesn't use -DskipTests so the tests are run. Those tests use the maven-cargo-plugin, which apparently fails for some reason. It's not the tests that fail, but the cargo/wildfly deploy that fails for some reason.

Can you also paste a few lines before this output? We're tracking this issue in jira.
