Issue
- Sometimes users face the following error while building their modules:
Task modules: test-search-results-limit:compileJava FAILED
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
what went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':modules:test-search-results-limit:compileJava'.
> Could not resolve all files for configuration ':modules:test-search-results-limit:compileclasspath'.
> Could not find com.liferay.portal:release.dxp.api:.
Required by:
project:modules:test-search-results-limit
Environment
- Liferay DXP 7.3 and above
- LDS
Resolution
-
The error "com.liferay.portal:release.dxp.api" was not found, according to the developers, This error also occurs when using Community Edition in the development environment as this dependencey "com.liferay.portal:release.dxp.api" is only included in the Enterprise Edition. Thus, users must check if they are using Community Edition for their development environment.
-
Also, if it is not a community edition, another possible cause is that they might use Portal instead of DXP.
-
The workaround is here: in the 'build.gradle' the "release.dxp.api" needs to be used as a "compileOnly" dependency. For example:
compileOnly group: "com.liferay.portal", name: "release.dxp.api", version: "Enter the Dxp version that are you using"
-
Users also specify the product version, and they can do so in the 'gradle.properties' of the "liferay-workspace" root folder: liferay.workspace.product = Dxp version that are you using at your end
Additional Information
-
com.liferay.portal:release.dxp.api simplifies and streamlines the development process for Liferay DXP applications by offering pre-built functionalities and promoting code quality.
