I have my pom file right there

I'm trying to sync my web app with my github repo

[viscid void]

then you need to run the mvn command in that directory

[viscid void]

in Server_Scripts, not History_Game_Server_Scripts

[warped gorge]

??

[viscid void]

How is that related to the error?

[warped gorge]

it's not I was giving context

[viscid void]

ok so do you want to fix the error or do you need help with syncing?

[warped gorge]

well I need to fix the error otherwise the workflow won't complete

and thus I cannot sync

[viscid void]

Why are you including .project, .classpath and .settings in git repos?

[warped gorge]

did that automatically

[viscid void]

So you want to build the project?

Or why do you run Maven?

[warped gorge]

bro I'm trying to do this

[viscid void]

these are generated files so you normally don't want to include them in git repos

[viscid void]

ok

[warped gorge]

I can just delete them from the repo right?

[viscid void]

Do you just want to build the server scripts thing?

[warped gorge]

yes

[viscid void]

I wouldn't delete the files on your system though

[warped gorge]

but I can just delete them straight from the repo?

and then exclude them whenever I commit changes

[viscid void]

and if you delete it on GitHub and then pull,it will alsso delete them on your system

[warped gorge]

I just won't pull it

[viscid void]

So I would git rm --cached them

[viscid void]

then you cannot push

[viscid void]

and then add these files to the gitignore

[viscid void]

Can you show your workflow YAML?

[viscid void]

so you are executing mvn clean install in the repository root

but mvn clean install requires a pom.xml file in the same directory

so you first need to switch to the server scripts directory

and only then run mvn clean install

[warped gorge]

how

[viscid void]

cd Server_Scripts?

[warped gorge]

???

could you talk me through it in simpler terms

[viscid void]

- name: Build with Maven
  run: |
    cd Server_Scripts
    mvn clean install
...
    path: '${{ github.workspace }}/Server_Scripts/target/*.jar

Do you know what the cd command does?

[warped gorge]

no

[viscid void]

cd means "change directory"

[warped gorge]

oh

[viscid void]

if you are in C: and you enter cd Users, it will go to C:\Users

[warped gorge]

I can just change this directly in the repo file right?

[viscid void]

yeah

[warped gorge]

could I just have these two folders committed to the web app @viscid void

[viscid void]

You need the Server_Scripts directory

because that has the pom.xml

[warped gorge]

oh yeah

I was thinking that so nvm

[warped gorge]

do I run that in the IDE?

[viscid void]

that would be in a terminal

[warped gorge]

I don't use git very often as you can probably tell

[warped gorge]

where

[viscid void]

but I think you can also do it within Eclipse

right-click on the file>Team

which options are there?

idk the name by heart

[warped gorge]

uh

what's happening here

do I just ignore that

I have src/main/java and src -> main -> java

??

[viscid void]

Did you delete the files?

[warped gorge]

no

[viscid void]

oh yeah that's ok

[warped gorge]

idk where they've gone

I didn't touch them

[viscid void]

Eclipse might hide them by default

[viscid void]

as long as you can run the project within Eclipse, it's fine

[warped gorge]

right click on the project you mean?

[viscid void]

you mean before?

the team thing?

[warped gorge]

yeah

these are the options

[viscid void]

that was for the .classpath/project files, not the entire project

[warped gorge]

uh

[viscid void]

you can try the show in repositories view thing

[warped gorge]

??

in eclipse?

[viscid void]

here

[warped gorge]

oh ok

files are there

what now

[viscid void]

can you right-click them?

[viscid void]

is there more?

[warped gorge]

no

[viscid void]

you would want an untrack and ignore option: https://stackoverflow.com/a/8311883/10871900

alternatively open a terminal in that directory and enter git rm --cached .classpath

[warped gorge]

I was just reading that

[warped gorge]

in the repo directory you mean?

[viscid void]

in server_scripts

or whatever that was

rm --cached means "mark as removed but don't actually delete the file"

[warped gorge]

where is the option to open a terminal

[viscid void]

click on the project in Eclipse

then press Ctrl+Alt+T

[warped gorge]

oh ok

and then add to git.ignore in the repo?

[viscid void]

in the .gitignore, add .classpath, .project and .settings

or create the .gitignore if it doesn't exist

[warped gorge]

in eclipse you mean?

do I remove the /target/

[viscid void]

no

target should be in the gitignore as well

[warped gorge]

so what's the syntax

do I just add .classpath and drop a line

and add the next?

[viscid void]

oh yeah you need -r in the command for .settings as well

[warped gorge]

also what's gone wrong here

[viscid void]

each entry is a line, yes

[warped gorge]

as in git -rm --cached .settings?

[viscid void]

git rm --cached -r .settings

because it's a directory

[warped gorge]

ok

[viscid void]

you you need to explicitly tell it to apply for everything in that directory

[warped gorge]

and I don't need to ignore the files within .settings

they're just ignored by proxy?

[viscid void]

?

[warped gorge]

these files

[warped gorge]

add them to the .gitignore I mean

[viscid void]

if you add .settings to the .gitignore, it should include these files

[warped gorge]

ok

alr

do I just commit now

and done

[viscid void]

Can you show the content of the Git Staging view?

[warped gorge]

why are they in both

do I just remove them from staged

all but the .gitignore

[viscid void]

btw if you want a resource for learning git: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2 is great IMO

[warped gorge]

👍

I'll have a read

[warped gorge]

@viscid void ?

[viscid void]

looks ok

[warped gorge]

ok

[viscid void]

no

[viscid void]

commit that as-is, don't move anything

under staged changes, you see the x next to the file - this means these files are removed

[viscid void]

(and push)

[warped gorge]

oh ok

why does everything always go wrong for me

and eclipse never accepts my github password I always have to use a token

[viscid void]

that means you made changes in GitHub that you don't have locally

[warped gorge]

oh to the pom file

not the pom

the maven thing

that's the only thing I changed...

[viscid void]

or it means you changed something inside .github/workflows

[viscid void]

yeah you'd need to pull to get these changes

[viscid void]

yeah GitHub doesn't allow the use of passwords for that any more

that's a GitHub thing, not an Eclipse thing

[warped gorge]

oh ok

where did all the changes go

[viscid void]

comitted

but you would still need to push them

I guess

[warped gorge]

oh so push head

[viscid void]

Did you pull already?

[warped gorge]

yes

[viscid void]

then yes, push HEAD

[warped gorge]

alr done

looks nice and tidy

thanks very much

[warped gorge]

I'll make sure to read up on git

[viscid void]

it's a whole book but it's freely available and it has all the important stuff about git

[warped gorge]

since it's a necessity for collaborative programming

[warped gorge]
