Heroku 找不到 webapp-runner.jar

Question

I've got a Spring web app which I want to deploy to Heroku. Here's the pom.xml:

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">

...

<dependencies>

    ...(spring, hibernate, junit, freemarker)

</dependencies>

<build>

                                <artifactId>webapp-runner</artifactId>
                                <version>8.5.11.2</version>
                                <destFileName>webapp-runner.jar</destFileName>

                </execution>
            </executions>
        </plugin>


    </plugins>
</build>
</project>

Here is the Procfile in project root directory:

web:    java $JAVA_OPTS -jar target/dependency/webapp-runner.jar --port $PORT target/*.war

Everything is fine locally, and I successfully push it to heroku. Git output:

remote: Compressing source files... done.        
remote: Building source:        
remote: 
remote: -----> JVM Common app detected        
remote: -----> Installing OpenJDK 1.8... done        
remote: -----> Discovering process types        
remote:        Procfile declares types -> web

remote:        Done: 49.1M        
remote: -----> Launching...        
...
remote: Verifying deploy... done.        

But then heroku logs tells me:

Error: Unable to access jarfile target/dependency/webapp-runner.jar

I tried to clean and run the exact command in the Procfile, and everything went just fine on my local machine. So what can be a problem here?

Answer 1

Run this command to change your buildpack:

$ heroku buildpacks:set heroku/java

Then git push again.

Right now, your app is using the JVM buildpack, which doesn't run Maven. It probably got this way when you tried heroku deploy:war or the Heroku Maven plugin.

I stumbled upon this problem. Here is my pom.xml build goal.

                                <groupId>com.github.jsimone</groupId>
                                <artifactId>webapp-runner</artifactId>
                                <version>9.0.24.0</version>
                                <destFileName>webapp-runner.jar</destFileName>
                            </artifactItem>
                        </artifactItems>
                    </configuration>
                </execution>
            </executions>
        </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>

In my case, the webrunner in the target folder as per copy goal is in a directory named endorsed.

 <goal>copy</goal>
                        </goals>
                        <configuration>
                            <outputDirectory>${endorsed.dir}</outputDirectory>

So change Procfile from:

web:    java $JAVA_OPTS -jar target/dependency/webapp-runner.jar --port $PORT target/*.war

To:

web:    java $JAVA_OPTS -jar target/endorsed/webapp-runner.jar --port $PORT target/*.war

So the webrunner can be located as you run the war file.

Answer 3

Turns out, my problem was that I had the target folder in my .gitignore file.

I know that's dumb, but for anyone desperate, double check that, that isn't your problem.
