Modelling Tool Packaging

The following sections contain errors and problems that can occur during the packaging procedure (as described here ADOxx Packaging Procedure). The errors are shown in the GitLab CI pipeline.

Prerequisite:

• Basic knowledge of Git, GitLab and how to access information in GitLab CI Pipeline

General

If an error occurs ones and is fixed, it can be that some not properly cleaned files on the building runner are making problems. To solve this, make some change in a file outside of the SRC/00-BUILD-SRC folder, which does not influence the project, e.g. adding a space to a comment.

After this change, a blocked pipeline with the clean-up jobs should be available. Trigger these clean-up jobs manually to remove all old files on of the GitLab Runner. Additionally. the Clear runner caches button in the overview side of the project should be clicked.

Deploy Task Fails

Error: The deploy tasks fails because it cannot find the ..\adoxx-pdp\06-results\windows-installer folder.

This means that the building task did not finish completely, even if it is shown as successful. If you open the log of the building task and find something like:

f266: Error: Wrong file <f:\adoxx_tool_build\c7S6KwGm\0\resources\modelling_tools\ia4cm\adoxx-pdp\05-temp\gfx\appicon\areena.ico> length.

Especially the problem with the areena.ico, this means that this file is not correctly created.

Solution: Export the areena.ico, that you provided, again and make sure that you do not use any compression.
