Error invoking command! when deploying war to WebSphere Liberty server using Maven Cargo

Question

I'm currently trying to deploy a war file to a Websphere Liberty server.

    <profile>
        <id>integration</id>
        <build>
            <plugins>
                <plugin>
                    <groupId>org.codehaus.cargo</groupId>
                    <artifactId>cargo-maven2-plugin</artifactId>
                    <version>1.6.11</version>
                    <configuration>
                        <!-- Container configuration -->
                        <container>
                            <containerId>websphere85x</containerId>
                            <type>installed</type>
                        </container>
                        <configuration>
                            <type>existing</type>
                            <home>WebSphere server location</home>
                        </configuration>
                        <deployables>
                            <deployable>
                                <artifactId>artifact</artifactId>
                                <groupId>com.group</groupId>
                                <type>war</type>
                            </deployable>
                        </deployables>
                    </configuration>
                </plugin>
            </plugins>
        </build>
    </profile>

When I run

cargo:deploy -Pintegration

I get the following error

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.codehaus.cargo:cargo-maven2->plugin:1.6.11:deploy (default-cli) on project artifact: Execution >default-cli of goal org.codehaus.cargo:cargo-maven2-plugin:1.6.11:deploy >failed: Deploy failed: Cannot execute jython script. Error invoking command! >Cannot run program "null\\bin\\wsadmin.bat": CreateProcess error=2, The system >cannot find the file specified

Anyone know what is causing this?

What plugin\\dependency I should use to get wsadmin.bat?

Or how I can fix this problem?

Thanks in advance

UPDATE

I am almost able to get this working The new config is below

<profile>
    <id>integration</id>
    <build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.codehaus.cargo</groupId>
                <artifactId>cargo-maven2-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>1.6.11</version>
                <configuration>
                    <!-- Container configuration -->
                    <container>
                        <containerId>liberty</containerId>
                        <type>installed</type>
                    </container>
                    <configuration>
                        <home>LibertyServer</home>
                    </configuration>
                    <deployables>
                        <deployable>
                            <artifactId>SIS-AM-CONSOL-GSPWeb</artifactId>
                            <groupId>com.group</groupId>
                            <type>war</type>
                        </deployable>
                    </deployables>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>
</profile>

The issue now is that the war file is getting deployed to

LibertyServer\\servers\\defaultServer\\apps

While the correct location should be

LibertyServer\\usr\\servers\\defaultServer\\apps

I have been looking at the reference guide but I don't see a way to have a custom directory.

I did try to add

<files>
    <copy>
        <file>war file</file>
        <toDir>LibertyServer\usr\servers\defaultServer\apps</toDir>
        <overwrite>true</overwrite>
    </copy>
</files>

Into the configuration settings.

But as expected this did not work.

Any ideas?

Thanks again.

Answer 1

Update <home>WebSphere server location</home> to point to your WAS_HOME location. When it tries to locate wsadmin to execute the jython script, it's failing: null\\bin\\wsadmin.bat. null should be the value of WAS_HOME...

Got the deployment working with the following code

<profile>
    <id>integration</id>
    <build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.codehaus.cargo</groupId>
                <artifactId>cargo-maven2-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>1.6.11</version>
                <configuration>
                    <!-- Container configuration -->
                    <container>
                        <timeout>600000</timeout>
                        <containerId>liberty</containerId>
                        <type>installed</type>
                        <home>ServerHome</home>
                    </container>
                    <configuration>
                        <type>standalone</type>
                        <home>ServerHome</home>
                    </configuration>
                    <deployables>
                        <deployable>
                            <artifactId>Artifact</artifactId>
                            <groupId>com.group</groupId>
                            <type>war</type>
                        </deployable>
                    </deployables>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>
</profile>

Also it seems that you cannot configure where the war file is deployed to. It will only deploy to defaultServer.
