I am trying to deploy my java application to tomcat server using Azure DevOps Release pipeline. I have filled the path for war file, server URL information, username and password in the tomcat server tab like below :
But deployment is getting failed and I am getting below error :
Am I using the path or any other information wrong? Can anybody please help me with this, thank you.
It looks like the path of the WAR File you specified is incorrect, which caused the file cannot be found.
I reproduced the exactly same error, if i specified an incorrect war file path. When i entered the right war file path. The error was gone. See below:
The correct file path should be $(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/_Tomcat/drop/Build CS&S2/SizingAndSelection2 WAR/target/sample.war:
You can go the release Logs to check the log of the Download artifacts to see where the war file has been downloaded.
Or you can click the 3dots of the War file field to locate the war file in the artifact. See below
