How to deploy a new theme created with SDK
Expert Posts: 284 Join Date: 12/7/10 Recent Posts
Hi all,
I have created a test theme using SDK from terminal.
From inside my sdk plugin directory:

C:\Progetti\liferay-plugins-sdk-6.2\themes>


I ran the command:

create.bat test "Test"


It created a new subdirectory in "themes" directory containing:


test-theme
    - docroot
            -_diffs
            - WEB-INF
    build.xml


How do I deploy this plugin and generate "war" file?

Thanks in advance,
Luca

Go into the test-theme folder and "ant war" to create the war file, then manually move to Liferay's deploy folder.

If your build.<username>.properties file is set up correctly, you could also use "ant deploy" to build the war and deploy.

Hi David,
thanks for reply.
I tried to run "ant deploy"(or "ant war") but I get this message:
'ant' is not recognized as an internal or external file...........


How can I do?

Thanks

P.S.
I don't have a build.<username>.properties file.

Hi David,
ok now "ant" command works (I configured the environment variables)!

I ran "ant war" and i get this:

C:\Progetti\liferay-plugins-sdk-6.2\themes\test-theme&gt;ant war
Buildfile: C:\Progetti\liferay-plugins-sdk-6.2\themes\test-theme\build.xml
    [touch] Creating C:\Progetti\liferay-plugins-sdk-6.2\themes\test-theme\build
.gradle

war:

That means you didn't create the build.<username>.properties file in the root of the SDK folder. This file points to your local tomcat bundle so Liferay can find the other resources such as the current themes.

Hi Luca,

I agree with David, You need to finish the plugins sdk set up first then all goes smooth.

This link will help in understanding set up process.
