[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-12585) remote publishing gives weird error when not pointing to exact expected directory layout

[Rob Stryker (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-12585?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12721327#comment-12721327 ] 

Rob Stryker commented on JBIDE-12585:
-------------------------------------

I've added the following to our error generation due to the bad exception parameters upstream:

{code}
+               String exceptionMsg = sme.getMessage();
+               if( "Missing element for : ''".equals(exceptionMsg)) {
+                       sme = new Exception("The requested path is not found on the remote system.", sme);
+               }
{code}

I thought we did have a verify button also but I can't seem to find a trace of it. Will need to investigate further.

> setup an ASx server to deploy remotely (i.e. on openshift) and point to a directory that *does not* have standalone/deployments already in it - then at publish time you get errors like:
> "failed to copy to /home/max/work/standalone/deployments/test.war/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF on host neo6.gva.redhat.com
> Missing element for : ''"
> Not very informative.
> If you fix the server to point to a directory that have standalone/deployments already things starts working again.
> The error should be more informative - optimally ask the user if the missing directories should be made ?
> Didnt we at some point have a "verify" button for the remote setup to check if directories were present?
