Updating Mavenized modules to compile against OpenMRS 1.8.0 and higher

This page is outdated and no longer receives updates!

In the pom.xml of the parent project of a module, you set the version of OpenMRS to compile and test the module against.


<openMRSVersion>1.6.3</openMRSVersion>

Once you attempt to compile and test against OpenMRS 1.8.0 or higher, you'll need to update the OpenMRS dependencies in the three module poms as follows to reflect the new Maven structure introduced in OpenMRS 1.8.0.

main pom.xml:


<dependency>
	<groupId>org.openmrs.api</groupId>
	<artifactId>openmrs-api</artifactId>
	<version>${openMRSVersion}</version>
	<type>jar</type>
	<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

<dependency>
	<groupId>org.openmrs.api</groupId>
	<artifactId>openmrs-api</artifactId>
	<version>${openMRSVersion}</version>
	<type>test-jar</type>
	<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

<dependency>
	<groupId>org.openmrs.web</groupId>
	<artifactId>openmrs-web</artifactId>
	<version>${openMRSVersion}</version>
	<type>jar</type>
	<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

<dependency>
	<groupId>org.openmrs.web</groupId>
	<artifactId>openmrs-web</artifactId>
	<version>${openMRSVersion}</version>
	<type>test-jar</type>
	<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

<dependency>
	<groupId>org.openmrs.test</groupId>
	<artifactId>openmrs-test</artifactId>
	<version>${openMRSVersion}</version>
	<type>pom</type>
	<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

If you don't make these changes, you will see an error on mvn package like: org.openmrs.test:openmrs-test:jar:1.8.0 artifact is missing .
