GobblinCli is not getting loaded while running cli commands

Question

I am trying to set up a gobblin in my mac. when I am running cli run getting below error. Do we need to set up or configure anything before running gobblin cli commands?

$ bin/gobblin.sh cli run
ls: apache-gobblin-incubating-sources-0.14.0/bin/../lib: No such file or directory
Error: Could not find or load main class org.apache.gobblin.runtime.cli.GobblinCli

Any help appreciated !!!

Answer 1

Are you running this from the source repo directly? Try the following steps:

Step 1: Build the distro (skipping unnecessary tasks)

# From the root folder
./gradlew :gobblin-distribution:assemble -x javadoc -x test -x findbugsMain -x checkstyleMain -x rat

This should give you the distribution tarball under build/gobblin-distribution/distributions/

ls build/gobblin-distribution/distributions/
apache-gobblin-incubating-bin-0.15.0.tar.gz     apache-gobblin-incubating-bin-0.15.0.tar.gz.sha512

Step 2: Copy distro to a clean area and unzip it

# from the source repo root
mkdir <my-gobblin-work-directory>
cd <my-gobblin-work-directory>
tar -xzf ../build/gobblin-distribution/distributions/apache-gobblin-incubating-bin-0.15.0.tar.gz

This should give you a gobblin-dist folder

Step 3: Run the cli command

./gobblin-dist/bin/gobblin cli run
