(ERROR) apache.rat:apache-rat/plugin:too many unapproved licenses

[#1]

Hey there,

I was installing Apache-Atlas framework on Ubuntu 14.04. after git clone https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator-atlas.git atlas i was trying to export and install Maven through export MAVEN_OPTS="-Xmx1536m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m" && mvn clean install but it was giving following errors:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.rat:apache-rat-plugin:0.7:check (rat-check) on project apache-atlas: Too many unapproved licenses: 1 -> [Help 1] [ERROR] [ERROR] To see the full stack trace of the errors, re-run Maven with the -e switch. [ERROR] Re-run Maven using the -X switch to enable full debug logging. [ERROR] [ERROR] For more information about the errors and possible solutions, please read the following articles: [ERROR] [Help 1] http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAVEN/MojoFailureException

i also tried some skip options like:

-DskipTests

-DskipTests -Drat.skip=true

mvn clean validate -Pcheck-licenses

but error was the same.

your kind and urgent help in this regard will be highly appreciated.

cheers,

Bilal

This is usually due to temporary files in the project directory. Try deleting the temporary files/directories using below commands..

• To remove directories, run git clean -f -d or git clean -fd
• To remove ignored files, run git clean -f -X or git clean -fX
• To remove ignored and non-ignored files, run git clean -f -x or git clean -fx

@Bilal Arshad Seems like tests are failing, can you provide the complete stack trace? or you can just skip integration tests using --DskipITs and try? thanks.

@Ayub Khan thank you for the help. Skipping integration tests did work! 🙂

Many thanks for your reply Ayub Khan.

I tried the commands mentioned above but got the following error:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-failsafe-plugin:2.19.1:verify (verify) on project atlas-webapp: There are test failures.

Kindly suggest other possible solutions.

Thanking you in anticipation.

Kind Regards

Another way is to use the following cmdline param -Drat.numUnapprovedLicenses=100 (assuming that the workspace doesn't have more than 100 files that don't comply with ASF header check).

Can you please post the logs of the failures ?
