default datasource not created since Swarm 2016.12.0

[gavinking]

When using Swarm from version 2016.12.0 onward, I get:

WFSWARM1005: Not creating a default datasource due to lack of JDBC driver

My guess is that there must be something missing from the fractions, but I'm not sure what.

@FroMage, @kenfinnigan, @bobmcwhirter any idea?

[gavinking]

Note, the exact same code works with swarmtool 2016.11.0.

[gavinking]

So I guess it's a result of this breaking change in Swarm.

[kenfinnigan]

That would be my guess.

We changed to allow you to add a JDBC driver as a dependency and we'd auto create the module.xml for it

[gavinking]

@kenfinnigan OK, but the problem is we don't use Maven, and instead call swarmtool using java -jar. And I'm not sure what to pass as an argument to have it include hsqldb.

[kenfinnigan]

Ah.

Could you raise a JIRA issue, as I suspect that's a gap we hadn't thought of

[gavinking]

OK.

(I did try --fractions=com.h2database:h2:1.4.187 but that did not help.)

[gavinking]

Issue reported as https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SWARM-1439.

[kenfinnigan]

Thanks @gavinking

[gavinking]

Hi, @kenfinnigan is there some easy workaround for this issue? Some config file I can easily add to my project to force the default datasource to be created?

Thanks.

You're attempting this against a pre-built .war that you can't rebuild? If you can somehow get your driver within your WEB-INF/lib, then it should create the default DS based on that driver.

What if you add a dep to the h2 module in the Ceylon module, @gavinking?

[Ladicek]

When testing EAP quickstarts with Swarm, I found the same obstacle. I added the --dependencies switch, which takes a comma-separated list of G:A:Vs, and that solved my usecase.

So maybe --dependencies=com.h2database:h2:1.4.187?

[Ladicek]

FTR, this was tracked under https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SWARM-1100

Didn't help.
