Mark Thanks for trying. Indeed I forgot to mention in the guide that one has to add ‘nifi.properties.file.path' as ‘VM Arguments’, updating the guide now.
As for logging, everything should work. Even though NiFi uses logback adapter for slf4j, the IDE setup uses log4j and all required JARs should be on the class path. Could you pleas re-verify? Here is what I see in my current setup after running ./gradlew clean eclipse -> importing project into workspace and configuring ‘Run Configurations' Run Configurations: VM arguments: -Dnifi.properties.file.path=/dev/nifi/nifi-assembly/target/nifi-0.3.1-SNAPSHOT-bin/nifi-0.3.1-SNAPSHOT/./conf/nifi.properties Working directory (“Other" is checked in): /dev/nifi/nifi-assembly/target/nifi-0.3.1-SNAPSHOT-bin/nifi-0.3.1-SNAPSHOT CLASSPATH: nifi-api-0.3.1-SNAPSHOT.jar nifi-runtime-0.3.1-SNAPSHOT.jar log4j-core-2.4.jar slf4j-api-1.7.12.jar slf4j-log4j12-1.7.12.jar jul-to-slf4j-1.7.12.jar nifi-nar-utils-0.3.1-SNAPSHOT.jar nifi-properties-0.3.1-SNAPSHOT.jar nifi-documentation-0.3.1-SNAPSHOT.jar log4j-api-2.4.jar log4j-1.2.17.jar Cheers Oleg On Oct 27, 2015, at 12:30 AM, Mark Petronic <markpetro...@gmail.com<mailto:markpetro...@gmail.com>> wrote: On Mon, Oct 26, 2015 at 5:06 AM, Oleg Zhurakousky <ozhurakou...@hortonworks.com<mailto:ozhurakou...@hortonworks.com>> wrote: nifi-ide-integration Oleg, thanks for the nifi-ide-integration github. I was able to get up and running in the debugger in Eclipse pretty easy with this. I did have to add this to my VM args in my run configuration and it was not documented in your github: -Dnifi.properties.file.path=/home/mpetronic/nifi-0.3.1-SNAPSHOT/./conf/nifi.properties Wondering if I might have done something wrong although your github readme is pretty clear? I exactly followed those instructions after first cloning the asf repo, building Nifi, and then installing the target tar.gz. One final question, I see this on my Eclipse console: log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.apache.nifi.NiFi). log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly. log4j:WARN See http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/faq.html#noconfig for more info. I see you you have a log4j.properties file in the nifi-ide-integration project's src/main/resources path and that path is in the class path for my Eclipse nifi-ide-integration project. Can you please help guide me through getting console logging working for Eclipse? I notice that nifi-ide-integration references a log4j property file whilst the installed Nifi conf dir has a logback.xml file.
