Building HighCharts-Export Server 2.1 Fails

Question

I have downloaded the latest highcharts-exporter following the instructions here. I am running this on Windows7 x64 locally and it will eventually be in a Windows production environment using Jetty9.

I have changed one line in highcharts-export/src/main/resources/app.properties:

# location of the phantomjs executable, could be for example /usr/local/bin/phantomjs
exec = /Scripts/phantomjs

I have maven (3.0.5) installed and configured. I last built this project before the 3.x release of HighCharts. That build was successful.

When I try to build now I get the following output. Any info here would be great.

EDIT

It appears that these errors are caused by left over files from previous version of highcharts-export. I have done a complete clean of the entire directory to start fresh. I am still getting one error that makes it not build:

Answer 1

I have found a solution to this problem.

zhiweihu has upload a patch that solves the issue. The problem is that ServerState class do not have the ACTIVE state.

Once you have applied the patch, you can create the package without a problem and it works as expected.

Answer 2

This has now been fixed in the Highcharts repository on Github. So you won't need the patch anymore, just pull in the changes
