Giving unrelated error - "Error: ENOENT, no such file or directory 'some txt path'"

This repository misses the license file.
The severity of that varies from project to project, but my goal here is to attract some attention.

If it's not a problem, this issue can be closed.

I'm leaving it here just in case: https://help.github.com/articles/adding-a-license-to-a-repository/.

Thanks.

The Latest Tomcat Web App is based on 8.0.44 in Azure Marketplace.
I managed to get the Tomcat Manager access, and cURL APIs enabled.

Unfortunately the "Deploy to Apache Tomcat Task" seems to perform an unsupported call:

When I reproduce it locally (from my windows desktop) I get the same error, checking it in Fiddler revealed that update=true option is not recognized.

Removing it doesn't help either. Interestingly enough using Tomcat Manager I was not able to deploy my WAR file.

I simply FTP it over.
Disappointing..

Hello guys,

Let me explain what I am doing, I am using this task. The problem comes when the agent tries to deploy my .war in my Tomcat. My Tomcat is a docker container that I have already configured the manager, I have set the roles etc. It is running in my localhost:8080. So, the logs says this "Not found curl: null". I checked the capabilities of my agent and it has this capability also in the path.
I have already attached an image but I will add the path here

path:C:_tools\jdk-17.0.5.8-hotspot\bin;C:\Python39\Scripts;C:\Python39;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0;C:\Windows\System32\OpenSSH;C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\PhysX\Common;C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NVIDIA NvDLISR;C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\dotnet;C:\Program Files\Git\cmd;C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\resources\bin;C:\ProgramData\DockerDesktop\version-bin;C:\Program Files\nodejs;C:\maven\apache-maven-3.8.6\bin;C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\bin\curl.exe;C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps

.

The issue reported is this "Not found curl: null" in my pipeline

Please I am desperate, I dont know if I am doing something wrong. Please I need help

Thank you so much!

Trying to use this task and I get the following error. Any suggestions on what needs to be changed in order to run the task successfully? Thanks

This repository is currently missing a LICENSE file.

A license helps users understand how to use your project in a compliant manner. You can find the standard MIT license Microsoft uses at: https://github.com/microsoft/repo-templates/blob/main/shared/LICENSE.

It happens even though I have password taken from the variable that I have marked as secret.

Here's the YAML version of the step in my deployment pipeline:

steps:
- task: ms-vscs-rm.apachetomcat.tomcatdeployment-task.TomcatDeployment@1
  displayName: 'Deploy application to a Tomcat server - ew.war'
  inputs:
    TomcatUrl: 'http://tomcat-server'
    Username: '$(TOMCAT_ADMIN_USERNAME)'
    Password: '$(TOMCAT_ADMIN_PASSWORD)'
    Warfile: '$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/_NEDB-NG/ew.war/ew.war'
    Context: /ew

and here are the variables (set in build pipeline):

The deployment step still lists it, along with other curl paramaters: (instead of <EDITED> I can see my password).

Is the plugin currently accept wildcards?

I use the "Deploy to Tomcat" task to deploy a .war file to a Linux VM on azure. I realized that the task creates a new folder on the target environment. The folder name equals the {filename} of the uploaded war-file.
Since my filename was "ROOT.war" the task tries to create/copy the file into the ROOT folder of the Linux host, which is not possible.

It took me a while to figure that out, because the error message of the task was
curl: (55) Send failure: Connection reset by peer
##[error]Error: C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\curl.exe failed with return code: 55

Is it possible to provide better or more detailed feedback?

Karsten

Need to provide ability to obtain WAR from VSTS Package Manager or other Repository such as Artifactory or other Maven defined repository.
