Synchronization issues using vaultfile.

Hello!

I am trying to create an AEM project using Maven and Eclipse and using the vault tool (command line) to syn the changes between CRXDE and Eclipse.  I am using the following article from adobe as my reference

https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/using/creating-aem-project-using-eclipse.html

I am using AEM 6.2 and Eclipse neon.3.  I have used the following maven command to build up my project which I then imported into Eclipse

mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeRepository=http://repo.adobe.com/nexus/content/groups/public/ -DarchetypeGroupId=com.day.jcr.vault -DarchetypeArtifactId=multimodule-content-package-archetype -DarchetypeVersion=1.0.2 -DgroupId=com.aem.community -DartifactId=testingproject -Dversion=1.0-SNAPSHOT -Dpackage=com.aem.community -DappsFolderName=testingproject -DartifactName="Testing Project" -DcqVersion="6.2" -DpackageGroup="My Company"

Problem Statement:

While syncing the changes from CRXDE to Eclipse the folder structure get distorted.  Please refer to the snapshot for details.

I am firing the following command in to get the changes reflected in Eclipse from CRXDE. The changes are seen however the folder structure is distored.  What am I doing wrong here ?

vlt --credentials admin:admin co --force http://localhost:4502/crx/-/jcr:root//apps/testingproject

regards

    Hi Veena,

    This was resolved.  I used the filevault  (vault-cli-3.1.16) with AEM 6.2.  Apologies for the delay in replying to you.  Thanks for your assitance.

    It seems that project is created ( as seen in project explorer ) but Server is not getting created.

    1/ Make sure your AEM instance is up and running.

    2/ Create a AEM runtime server in eclipse. Add your project to server and start the server.

    3/ You can also go to your project in eclipse workspace and run "mvn clean install -P autoInstallPackage" to deploy your project.

    Hi Abhishek,

    Thanks for getting back and appreciate your assistance.  See the comments inline.

    1/ Make sure your AEM instance is up and running.

    <Yes it is up and running>

    2/ Create a AEM runtime server in eclipse. Add your project to server and start the server.

    <Unable to configure it on port 4502 by default it is taking 8080. I have attached the screen shots of all the steps that I am taking to create this.  I hope I am doing it the right way>

    3/ You can also go to your project in eclipse workspace and run "mvn clean install -P autoInstallPackage" to deploy your project.

    <Is it possible only to push the changes made in eclipse into AEM rather the pushing the entire project ? I reckon the mvn clean install  -P autoInstallPackage will push the entire project>

    I also tried with AEM 6.1 and eclipse Mars (going one step down with both AEM and eclipse) however I am seeing the same error.

    Regards

    Hi harshs​

        Did you get a solution for this problem. PFB my comments for using vault with eclipse. Tried and tested

    1. Version - Vault any version higher than 2.4 is not compatible with eclipse . So make sure to use one which is 2.4 .

    2. To work in eclipse - Make sure you have installed Eclipse Style Plugin (remove the vault plugin and start from scratch)

    I followed http://www.aemcq5tutorials.com/tutorials/configure-filevault-vlt-tool-in-cq/  to configure my vault long back. Hope this helps

    PS:- My eclipse is Mars. (high time for an upgrade ) and I work with AEM 6.0 (almost done with ) , 6.2 and 6.3 as and wen needed

    Thanks

    Veena

      Thats great. Higher versions of Vault had caused issues for me while working with 6.0 , so never dared to upgrade it will give it a try for sure.   Where you needed to do anything additional ? if anything specific we have to take care while setting up this in eclipse like "Eclipse Style Plugin" kind, please let us know. It might help others who have a similar request

      Hello Veena,

      There is nothing additional that needs to be done.  Setup environment variables for the filevault.  The only thing that's a little bit of an issue is that creating a new file in eclipse and then trying to checkin into CRX is not working.  However this is easily got around by creating a new file in CRX and then syncing it in eclipse using filevault.  The regular updates in existing files works both ways.  Hope this helps
