Continuous Delivery Director 8.6.1

Resolution

- Check file settings.properties if it contains lines like :

cdd.plugins.containerized.cucumberjvm.container.image_name=<repository>:<tag>
cdd.plugins.containerized.cucumberjvm.container.volumes.artifacts.volumes=dependencies:/home/cdd/.m2

See : Set Up the Cucumber JVM Plug-in

 

or if it still does not work :

- Update this settings like this :
cdd.plugins.containerized.cucumberjvm.container.volumes.artifacts.volumes=dependencies:/.m2

Remark : By default the build process creates the .m2 folder in the user's home directory. But the default location could be overridden by the setting of the used project, or by the user's definition.
