Could not build the social-ugcbase1.1.34 bundle as it is depending on social-communities-api 1.1.34 version bundle

[#1]

~Hi All,

      I am trying to build our migration project through Maven. I added dependencies required.

When  i tried to build and install i got an error saying

[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project usgboral-bundle: Could not resolve dependencies for project melbourne-it:usgboral-bundle:bundle:3.0-USG-BORAL-SNAPSHOT: Failed to collect dependencies at com.adobe.cq.social:cq-s
ocial-ugcbase:jar:1.1.34: Failed to read artifact descriptor for com.adobe.cq.social:cq-social-ugcbase:jar:1.1.34: Could not find artifact com.adobe.cq.social:socialcommunities-parent:pom:1.1.34 in adobe (http://repo.ado
be.com/nexus/content/groups/public/) -> [Help 1]
[ERROR]

I thought of downloading the jars manually.But the required com.adobe.cq.social:socialcommunities-parent:pom:1.1.34  version does not exist.  Attaching the screenshot of the same.

The social-ugcbase-1.1.34 jar is dependent on social-communities-api-1.3.4 jar.

Please help me on this!!

Thanks,

You might have to try with other social-communities-api-1.3.4 jar. version. May be that jar could resolve all the dependencies.

And, you could also verify whether your maven repository has these jars or not.

but in the repository we have only two versions of social ugcbase (cq-social-ugcbase-1.1.34:jar/cq-social-ugcbase-1.1.38:jar) jars and it is depending only on social-communities-api-1.3.4 jar.Could you please help me on this

 Since you are building your project for AEM 6.1 instance you should add AEM Uber Jar dependency in your pom file and remove all individual AEM API dependencies[2]. 

Remove cq-social-ugcbase:jar dependency and add the following - 

<dependency>

    <groupId>com.adobe.aem</groupId>

    <artifactId>uber-jar</artifactId>

    <version>6.1.0</version>

    <scope>provided</scope>

    <classifier>obfuscated-apis</classifier>

</dependency>

But I need to use SocialUtils and SocialResourceUtils classes and it is available social-ugcbase. Is there anyother way for that?

[#6]

Both these classes are available in AEM uber jar. With 6.1, Adobe added Uber Jar which now has all the AEM APIs so you just need to add one dependency in your POM rather than adding individual API dependency. 

[#7]

In 5.6.1 in our code we are using CollabUtil and it is deprecated in 6.0 and instead of CollabUtil API we are using the SocialUtils and SocialResourceUtils for this we included the social-ucgbase dependency in pom.

If we add uber.jar then it is not required to include the social-ugcbase dependency and will it resolve and can use SocialUtils and SocialResourceUtils with that uber dependency?

[#8]

If you are building the project for 6.1 version then yes you need to remove social-ugcbase dependency and add Uber Jar to the POM file. And you should make sure that you are not including any other dependencies in your POM just like social-ugcbase as for for them as well you should be using Uber jar.  

[#9]

but when iam trying to build after removing all the dependencies related to social communities and social-ugcbase .jars then it is failing due to below errors

[#10]

You need to refactor your communities code as in 6.1 many of the communities java api packages were reorganized. Did you follow the documentation for upgrading the communities - https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/aem/6-1/deploy/communities/upgrade.html

Also, the links I shared with you earlier please go through this again - 

[1] https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/aem/6-1/develop/communities/code-guide/maven.html

You need to add the dependencies like below - 

    

<dependency>

    <groupId>com.adobe.cq.social</groupId>

    <artifactId>cq-socialcommunities-api</artifactId>

    <version>1.7.197</version>

    <scope>provided</scope>

</dependency>

<dependency>

    <groupId>com.adobe.aem</groupId>

    <artifactId>uber-jar</artifactId>

    <version>6.1.0</version>

    <scope>provided</scope>

    <classifier>obfuscated-apis</classifier>

</dependency>

You should use the right version of cq-socialcommunities-api as installed in your AEM instance. Please follow the steps mentioned in the documentation.

From the above exception it seems that you also need to add apache-commons dependency to your project. 

<dependency>
    <groupId>commons-fileupload</groupId>
    <artifactId>commons-fileupload</artifactId>
    <version>1.3.1</version>
 <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
