Hi,
I'm trying to determine the best way to CM custom nar files for sharing
between team. We are using nifi-registry for the flows and I saw there was
a new capability via the toolkit cli for "upload-bundle".
I'm trying to use that but have ran into a few issues:
1) I first wasn't getting the META-INF/docs/ in the .nar. I had built the
initial project from mvn archetype:generate with version 1.9.2. I added:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.nifi</groupId>
<artifactId>nifi-nar-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.3.1</version>
<extensions>true</extensions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
To the base pom.xml. It has the parent of:
<parent>
<groupId>org.apache.nifi</groupId>
<artifactId>nifi-nar-bundles</artifactId>
<version>1.9.2</version>
</parent>
That got the docs in the jar:
0 Sat Jul 20 20:53:44 MDT 2019 META-INF/docs/
72 Sat Jul 20 20:53:44 MDT 2019 META-INF/docs/extension-manifest.xml
0 Sat Jul 20 20:53:44 MDT 2019 META-INF/docs/additional-details/
2)I tried to use cli then with command:
./bin/cli.sh registry upload-bundle --baseUrl http://localhost:18080/
--bucketId bcc0865e-818f-475b-b506-c95614b9a9d1 -ebt nifi-nar -ebf
.custom-processor-nar-1.0-SNAPSHOT.nar
I get back "ERROR: Error executing command 'upload-bundle' : Error creating
extension bundle version: An unexpected error has occurred. Please check
the logs for additional details."
In Registry log, error is:
Exception: Unable to obtain extension info for bundle due to: Unable to
parse extension manifest due to: Unexpected end of input block; expected an
identifier
at [row,col {unknown-source}]: [1,72]
at [Source:
(org.apache.nifi.registry.bundle.extract.nar.NarBundleExtractor$NonCloseableInputStream);
line: 1, column: 73]. Returning Internal Server Error response.
org.apache.nifi.registry.bundle.extract.BundleException: Unable to obtain
extension info for bundle due to: Unable to parse extension manifest due
to: Unexpected end of input
block; expected an identifier
Questions:
1) Should I need to set the 1.3.1 plugin do get the docs in nar? I thought
that would be automatic from parent version being 1.9.2
2) Is there an example for how to use the toolkit cli to upload-bundle?
3) Is there a better way to CM .nar? Archiva? Artifactory?
Thanks.
