JBoss Tools deploy error: This may be caused by your server's temporary deploy directory being on a different filesystem than the final destination

Question

I have the following error when deploying an application with JBoss Tools in Eclipse:

Error renaming C:\\wildfly-8.1.0.Final\\standalone\\tmp\\tmp78586119

Answer 1

I had the same problem and the only solution after hours looking for in google, I solved closing eclipse, deleting the folder ".metadata" of the workspace restarting eclipse and creating the server of JBoss AS 6.x again and deploying again and everything worked for me correctly. I hope this help.

Answer 2

The hermeslm solution fixes most (if not all) problems with workspace, but it is final and robust weapon of choice. Be advised that if you have highly configured eclipse (custom code assist, formatting definitions, plugins config, UI look) you'll lose it all. You'll have to import all projects and configure it all over again.

I had the same problem but from time to time I do full workspace file-system backup and restore from it when such crap happens.

From what I have observed on backup restore so far, this particular problem may be in configuration jboss server in eclipse and files/plugins related to it. In other words if you don't have backups, try deleting and rebuilding your servers definition in eclipse before you'll delete .metadata dir.

Answer 3

I've had the same problem. Files of the .metadata and .recommenders workspace folders were corrupted. I took those folders from a colleague and replaced mine. It worked!

Answer 4

If you go to file --> C:\Users\yourusername\wildfly-10.0.0.CR4\standalone\deployments and delete your projectname.war file, server should be able to restart.

Answer 5

I had the same problem several times in my windows 10 machine. Since I did not have admin rights it was a hectic process to troubleshoot this issue. Simple fix would be moving JBOSS_HOME closer to root. However, you need to do a proper restart of your eclipse. I rather recommend a complete restart of your computer because after all you are going to change JBOSS_HOME in windows environmental variables.

Answer 6

I solved this problem following the steps below:

1. Restarted the computer
2. Deleted the project files from the folder "standalone\deployments"
3. Deleted all files in the folder "standalone\tmp"
4. Clean project in Eclipse
5. In Eclipse, removed project from Wildfly and then added again
6. In Eclipse, right click on "Wildfly" and then "Clean..."
7. In Eclipse, right click on the project module and then "Full publish"
