Problems with imported projects in Axon Ivy Designer 12

tmugandani

I am using Axon Ivy 12.0.14 after migrating from 10.0.32. For the past 2 months everything was working well. Since a few days all of a sudden my projects show problems of type "Process Validation Problem". Most of the data classes have the error "Process data class ... must be of type 'ch.ivyteam.ivy.scripting.objects.CompositeObject'". Anyone ever had this problem and knows how to resolve it?

So, have you imported your v10 projects into the v12 Designer, converted them, and are now seeing these errors in the Designer? Or do the errors occur when you build the project with Maven?

In the designer I would start with clean project and the update maven project:

If this does not resolve the issue, it would be very helpful if you could provide screenshots showing the error and the context in which it occurs.

Louis Müller The errors occur when I clean or update maven project. With clean I get less error than with update maven project. Each clean gives different number of errors, at times they get less other times they get more with each successive clean. It is never the same number of errors.

Louis Müller I have tried a new workspace and also tried a new installation of the Designer still no success. The repository is still the same , no changes to any settings except the changes to files I was working on.

Louis Müller

I guess you can't share the project itself? Could you share the pom.xml instead? I'd be especially interested in seeing the project-build-plugin version.

Louis Müller I have several applications on the engine. For all applications I have a parent POM file, consisting of the applications as modules.
One of the application poms consists once again of modules.

Do you really need the <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId> plugin? I would try removing it from the parent POMs.

Can you build the project using Maven, for example by running the command mvn clean verify in the terminal?

Louis Müller In the terminal it I can build without any problems

I imported the top level folder (parent pom) in the Designer and then clicked on the application level folder and then selected Delete. The containing folder was deleted and the modules inside moved to the top level in the Designer project structure. Now I no longer have errors.
