NiFi Build Failed

[#1]

build.txt

Hello all,
Any pointers would be helpful. I am trying to build NiFi from source on Centos 7. Have the preconditions met as per https://nifi.apache.org/quickstart.html

EDIT : Attached the build log

However, the build fails with the below trace :-

Hello, can you please post the full trace?

[#3]

Sure, @Scott Aslan, attached the build log.

[#4 · Accepted solution]

hmmm....it looks like it is an issue with the version of npm with this distro. I recently submitted a PR to update the version of node and npm in NiFi: https://github.com/apache/nifi/pull/2571. Please cherry-pick this commit and rebuild and see if this solves your problem.

Thanks @Scott Aslan I will update you once done.

I will run again skipping the tests,

@Scott Aslan : Thanks, build successful after skipping the tests. The test failure trace is on the previous comment.

Hello @Scott Aslan

I am getting the same exception again when I try to build the latest source 1.7.1 from nifi-1.7.1-source-release.zip in AmazonLinux (AL2012 )

I tried downgrading the frontend-maven-plugin from 1.4 to 1.1 to see if that is the same error as previous, but still, it failed while building the UI.

Kindly help me fix this issue. Attaching the logs.

The issue is resolved and i was able to fix it by enabling network access from AL for sandbox build.
