Packaging and Deploying DataWeave Libraries

Use the Apache Maven plugin for DataWeave to integrate the packaging and deployment of your DataWeave libraries with your Maven lifecycle.

The plugin enables you to run six main goals:

  • compile
    Compiles the source code for your DataWeave library.

  • test
    Tests the compiled source code using the DataWeave testing framework.

  • data-weave:generate-docs
    Automatically generates the documentation for your DataWeave library.

  • package
    Packages the compiled code in a .jar file.

  • data-weave:deploy-docs
    Uploads the auto-generated documentation for your DataWeave library to Anypoint Exchange.

  • deploy
    Automatically uploads your DataWeave library to the deployment target and uploads the auto-generated documentation to Exchange.

Add the Maven Plugin to a Project

To enable the Maven plugin for DataWeave in your project:

  • Add the following Maven dependency to your project’s pom.xml file:

    <plugin>
  <groupId>org.mule.weave</groupId>
  <artifactId>data-weave-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>2.9.0</version>
  <extensions>true</extensions>
</plugin>

  • Add the following repositories to your project’s pom.xml file::

    <pluginRepositories>
    <pluginRepository>
        <id>mule-releases</id>
        <url>https://repository-master.mulesoft.org/nexus/content/repositories/releases</url>
    </pluginRepository>
    <pluginRepository>
        <id>mule-snapshots</id>
        <url>https://repository-master.mulesoft.org/nexus/content/repositories/snapshots</url>
    </pluginRepository>
</pluginRepositories>

Compile a DataWeave Library

Run the compile goal to compile your DataWeave library from source code, for example:

mvn compile

Test a DataWeave Library

Run the test goal to execute the DataWeave test suite included in your library, for example:

mvn test

The Maven plugin for DataWeave uses the DataWeave testing framework to run your test suite, which supports configuring additional parameters when you run the test goal.

Configure the Test Suite

Inside the plugin configuration, add a tests element configured to use parameters that meet your testing needs:

Name Type Default Description

output

String

${project.build.directory}/data-weave-test-reports

Specifies the path for the directory in which all the auto-generated reports are created when the test runs.

htmlReport

boolean

true

When this property is set to true, the test suite generates an HTML report about the execution.

coverageEnabled

boolean

false

When this property is set to true, the test suite generates a coverage report about the execution.

coverageFormat

String

sonar

Specifies the format for the coverage report, one of:

  • sonar
    Generates a valid Sonar coverage report for your test suite.

  • html
    Generates an HTML coverage report for your test suite.

runnerLogForkedProcessCommand

boolean

false

When set to true, logs the command used to launch the test runner process.

runnerEnvironmentVariables

Map

null

A set of additional environment variables to pass to the test runner process.

runnerSystemProperties

Map

null

A set of additional system properties to pass to the test runner process.

runnerArgLine

boolean

null

A set of additional JVM options to pass to the test runner process.

runnerJvmDebug

boolean

false

When set to true, enables remote debugging for the test runner JVM.

Test Configuration Example

The following example enables the sonar coverage report and disables htmlReport in a project.

Example pom.xml file
<plugin>
  <groupId>org.mule.weave</groupId>
  <artifactId>data-weave-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>2.9.0</version>
  <extensions>true</extensions>
  <configuration>
    ...
    <tests>
      <htmlReport>false</htmlReport>
      <coverageEnabled>true</coverageEnabled>
      <coverageFormat>sonar</coverageFormat>
    </tests>
    ...
  </configuration>
</plugin>

Generate Documentation for a DataWeave Library

Run the data-weave:generate-docs goal to auto-generate the documentation for your DataWeave library, for example:

mvn prepare-package

Alternatively, you can also run:

mvn data-weave:generate-docs

Configure the Automated Docs Generation

Inside the plugin configuration, add a docs element configured with parameters that meet your documentation needs:

Name Type Default Description

output

String

${project.build.directory}/data-weave-docs

The output directory in which the documentation files are created.

template

String

exchange_markdown

The template to use for the auto-generated documentation, one of:

  • exchange_markdown
    Generates the documentation in a Markdown format that is compliant with Exchange.

  • markdown
    Generates the documentation in Markdown format.

  • asciidoc
    Generates the documentation in AsciiDoc format.

Valid values are exchange_markdown, markdown, or asciidoc.

homePage

String

null

Specifies the path to a custom Markdown file to add in the home page. The file must be generated by the markdown or exchange_markdown template.

favicon

String

null

Specifies the path to the image file (png or jpg) to use as the asset icon in the Exchange portal.

Docs Generation Example

The following example shows how to configure both a custom home page and a specific favicon to include in the Exchange portal home page of your DataWeave library:

Example pom.xml file:
<plugin>
  <groupId>org.mule.weave</groupId>
  <artifactId>data-weave-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>2.9.0</version>
  <extensions>true</extensions>
  <configuration>
    ...
    <docs>
      <homePage>${project.basedir}/README.md</homePage>
      <favicon>${project.basedir}/src/main/resources/favicon/parrot.jpg</favicon>
    </docs>
    ...
  </configuration>
</plugin>

Deploy DataWeave Libraries and Upload Documentation to Exchange

Before uploading DataWeave libraries to Exchange, ensure that the pom.xml file includes all MuleSoft repositories and your credentials for Maven to access the enterprise repository. See Publish an Asset to Exchange Using Maven for instructions to set up your DataWeave library.

After reviewing the pom.xml file, run the deploy goal to deploy the DataWeave library to the deployment target, and upload the generated documentation to Exchange, for example:

mvn deploy

Skip Exchange Documentation Upload

You can skip the Exchange documentation upload when deploying a DataWeave project by setting the skipDeployDocs system property to true:

mvn deploy -DskipDeployDocs=true

Upload the Documentation to Exchange

Alternatively, you can run the data-weave:deploy-docs goal to upload the generated documentation to Exchange without deploying the DataWeave library, for example:

mvn data-weave:deploy-docs

DataWeave Library Structure Reference

When designing your DataWeave library, use the basic components src and pom.xml:

pom.xml

Descriptor

The POM file of your DataWeave library. This file describes all of your library’s required dependencies.

Source Directory Reference

The directory structure of a DataWeave library comprises the src/main and src/test folders.

src/main

src/main is the root folder for all the production source code of the DataWeave library.

Folder Folder Type Description

src/main/dw

source

The root folder of the DataWeave library source code files.

src/main/resources

resource

Contains the application resources, such as XML, JSON, and properties files.

src/test
