Maven & Protobuf compile error: Cannot find symbol in package com.google.protobuf

问题:

I'm new to Linux and Protobuf.. I need help.

I'm trying to "mvn package" a project that contains many ".proto" files, and a pom.xml file of course...

I'm working on Ubuntu

=======================================

ERROR

When I run "mvn package", I receive this error:

after

... Compiling 11 source files to .../target/classes ... 

I get a bunch of these errors:

[ERROR] .../target/generated-sources/...java:[16457,30] cannot find symbol [ERROR] symbol  : class Parser [ERROR] location: package com.google.protobuf [ERROR]  [ERROR] .../target/generated-sources/...java:[17154,37] cannot find symbol [ERROR] symbol  : class Parser [ERROR] location: package com.google.protobuf [ERROR]  [ERROR] .../target/generated-sources/...java:[17165,30] cannot find symbol [ERROR] symbol  : class Parser [ERROR] location: package com.google.protobuf [ERROR]  [ERROR] .../target/generated-sources/...java:[17909,37] cannot find symbol [ERROR] symbol  : class Parser [ERROR] location: package com.google.protobuf [ERROR]

=======================================

PROTOBUF INSTALLATION

I've done

./configure make make check make install 

in protobuf/,

and

mvn test mvn install mvn package 

in protobuf/java.

I took the jar in protobuf/java/target

and added it to my maven repo by running:

mvn install:install-file -Dpackaging=jar -DgeneratePom=true  -DgroupId=com.google.protobuf   -DartifactId=protobuf-java   -Dfile=protobuf-java-2.4.1.jar -Dversion=2.4.1 

Note that I've messed around with $LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Currently when I run echo it, I get:

/usr/local/lib/:/usr/:/usr/lib/:/usr/local/ 

yeah.... as you can tell I don't have a clue about setting $LD_LIBRARY_PATH

I also ran:

apt-get install protobuf-compiler 

=======================================

PROTOC INSTALLATION

I forgot what I did to make protoc work, but when I run

protoc --version 

I get

libprotoc 2.5.0 

=======================================

MY QUESTION IS SIMILAR TO:

Problems using protobufs with java and scala

maven compilation failure

=======================================

POSSIBLE RELAVENCE?

still not find package, after 'mvn install'

http://www.scriptol.com/programming/protocol-buffers-tutorial.php

Can anyone help?

=======================================

PROGRESS

Apparently it's a plugin failure:

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAVEN/MojoFailureException

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:2.0.2:compile (default-compile) on project casprotobuf: Compilation failure: Compilation failure: 

回答1:

I had the same problem. building the protobuf sources from google directly (I used 2.5.0) and doing

mvn install:install-file -Dpackaging=jar -DgeneratePom=true  -DgroupId=com.google.protobuf   -DartifactId=protobuf-java   -Dfile=protobuf-java-2.5.0.jar -Dversion=2.5.0 

fixed the problem for me.

In my earlier trials I noticed, that the jar-file in /root/.m2/repository/com/google/protobuf/protobuf-java/2.5.0/ was missing.

Maybe try to use version 2.5.0 in the pom.xml and/or copying the jarfile manually.

cheers

回答2:

I had this problem when there was a mismatch between the protoc version installed and the version listed in the pom. Matching the versions fixed the problem. In my case, I had to switch my protoc version back to 2.4.1 to match the POM.

回答3:

The protoc --version has to be the same version to as set in pom.xml file (protobuf-java-2.5.0.jar).

回答4:

My problem was that one unit test extended class from main folder. I solved it with:

<!-- Allow tests to call classes in main folder -->  <plugin>     <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>     <artifactId>build-helper-maven-plugin</artifactId>     <version>1.9.1</version>     <executions>         <execution>             <id>add-source</id>             <phase>generate-sources</phase>             <goals>                 <goal>add-source</goal>             </goals>             <configuration>                 <sources>                     <source>src/test/java</source>                     <source>src/main/java</source>                 </sources>             </configuration>         </execution>     </executions> </plugin>
