Hi Team,
I am evaluating Isis / Causeway in December 2022. There are some Quick
Start problems stopping me evaluating it further.
Your project seems really exciting so although there were major issues I
wanted to let you know portions are currently broken.
I'm an experienced java developer.
*1/3) Quick Start Broken**
*
Your Quickstart ->
> APP=isis-app-simpleapp > BRANCH=jpa > curl
https://codeload.github.com/apache/$APP/zip/$BRANCH | jar xv > cd
$APP-$BRANCH > > mvn clean install > mvn -pl webapp spring-boot:run
is currently broken.
Looking at the maven output, it appears the version 2.0.0-M9
dependencies are not published properly.
Maven error:
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project simpleapp-jpa-webapp: Could
not resolve dependencies for project
org.apache.isis.starters:simpleapp-jpa-webapp:jar:2.0.0-M9: Could not
find artifact
org.apache.isis.starters:simpleapp-jpa-module-simple:jar:2.0.0-M9 in
nightly-builds (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/apache-isis-commit
ters/isis-nightly/master/mvn-snapshots)
*2/3) Documentation assumes Quickstart succeeds*
If the Quickstart breaks, the documentation has few workarounds. Perhaps
consider have the publishing of all the prerequisites automated somehow.
And possibly a scheduled pipeline check that the Quickstart process
actually succeeds.
Or a break-glass section in the documentation for the learners like me
who stumble on the project at the time the Quickstart is broken.
*3/3) https://demo-wicket.isis.incode.work/ is 404*
Where your front page Quickstart section says:
"You can also explore the Apache Isis programming model through the demo
app, running here <https://demo-wicket.isis.incode.work/>."
The here link returns a 404 ( https://demo-wicket.isis.incode.work/ )
What advice do you have for me to continue deeper evaluation until the
Quick Start process is fixed up ?
Terry.
