Error trying to build. about jodconverter HOT 10 CLOSED

Hi! I've had the same problem in the past and fixed it with configuration changes.

I've now shared my changes with the commits 41e98dc and a8c3694.

Maybe @sbraconnier can merge it to master so that other developers don't face the same problem in the future. Meanwhile, you can apply the patches manually.

Hi Michel, thanks,

Was able to continue and build jodconverter-core.
But when I try to run a test conversion I get the following:

C:\TMP>java -jar jodconverter.jar test.xls test.pdf
no main manifest attribute, in jodconverter-core.jar

Any idea?

from jodconverter.

Thanks a lot @michelole ! I've merged your changes. Your Help is really appreciated.

@vdveldel, try using the cli module instead if you plan to use jodconverter on command line.

You have to run this command to build cli module executable:

gradlew clean build -x test -x integTest distZip

Or you can use the latest release available.

Hi Simon,

Hmmm. This is the spotless plugin failing on line endinds.

Although with \r\n eol, This is not the first time this behavior is reported, but I thought It was fixed with commit cc1de6f

Could you please tell me the OS on which you are experiencing this issue ? In the meantime, you can simply run:

gradlew splotlessApply

before building the project. That should do the trick.

from jodconverter.

Oh! I got it. You have downloaded the project, not cloned it! So the .gitattributes haven't been applied. Then you can just use the trick from my previous post (gradlew spotlessApply),

OR if you have a git client installation, just clone the project using the command:

git clone https://github.com/sbraconnier/jodconverter.git

from jodconverter.

Hi Simon,

Cloned the project as described in your last posting.
Was able to build the project using: gradlew clean build -x test -x integTest distZip

When I run this on my Windows 7 32b system I get this:

C:\TMP>java -jar jodconverter-cli.jar test.xls test.pdf
no main manifest attribute, in jodconverter-cli.jar

C:\TMP>

from jodconverter.

Forgot to mention.

The reason why I'm looking into this is that I would like to integrate this in my "Mirth Connect" engine.
Any suggestions about this would be most appreciated.

from jodconverter.

Hi!

When you use the cli module, you must use the batch file that comes with the distributions. Look the output of the gradle "distZip" task. It creates a zip file with all the required stuff to use JODConverter as a command line tool. The zip file can be found (after the distZip task execution) in the build/distributions directory of the jodconverter-cli module.

Note that this distribution zip is provided here for the version 4.0.0.

The batch file to run in order to use the cli module is located in the bin directory (jodconverter-cli.bat or the other one if you are not running on Windows).

Suppose you put your test.xls at the root of the cli tool (where are the bin, conf and lib directories), your command will look like this:

bin\jodconverter-cli  test.xls test.pdf

You cannot use java -jar directly without telling the command about your classpath and the main class to use (which is done in the bin/jodconverter-cli batch file).

As for Mirth Connect, I created this fork to do exactly that! We use JODConverter with Mirth Connect at work and it works very well. I cannot publish anything here since it is proprietary information, but you have many options here according to how much time you have to complete your goal and how much experience you have in Mirth Connect plugins development.

If you don't have much time and no experience in Mirth Connect plugins development, you will want to use the cli module and call the batch file from a Transformer Step. Just know that this solution will start an office process each time the batch file is called. So it may not be the perfect solution if it is done in a Channel with heavy traffic, but it should work just fine if you adjust your timeouts (TCP Listener/Sender?) accordingly.

If you are a pro in Mirth Connect plugins development, you can integrate JODConverter to Mirth through a plugin that will start with Mirth Connect and could support running more that 1 office process.

Gook luck!

No news good news ! :)
