Building OSS release version of Elastic Search 6.3.1

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,
I am new to Elastic Search, I am trying to build OSS release version of 6.3.1 from source code. I followed instructions mentioned in readme, downloaded the code from GIT and ran "gradlew assemble" command. Build is successful, but i see zip files created under "C:\ES\elasticsearch-6.3.1\distribution\archives\oss-zip\build\distributions" with name elasticsearch-oss-6.3.1-SNAPSHOT.zip.

I am guessing SNAPSHOT in name indicates its developer build not release? Please help me how i can build OSS release version of Elastic Search 6.3.1 from source code.

Why are looking to build instead of downloading it?

Thanks Christian for responding...as per our internal policy we need to build it from source code rather than downloading.

Meanwhile I tried by running "gradlew build", getting following error, not sure whether i am doing it right way

In order to build a non-snapshot version, you need to pass -Dbuild.snapshot=false to the assemble command.

Thanks Ryan, that helped.

But i am facing following error while running non snapshot version, Also please let me know is there any documentation available about various other options apart from -Dbuild.snapshot=false, i want to just build OSS version.

< Configure project :plugins:repository-hdfs
hdfsFixture unsupported, please set HADOOP_HOME and put HADOOP_HOME\bin in PATH

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

  • Where:
    Build file 'C:\ES\elasticsearch-6.3.1\x-pack\plugin\core\build.gradle' line: 68

  • What went wrong:
    A problem occurred evaluating project ':x-pack:plugin:core'.
    Property license.key must be set for release build />

What if you run

gradle assemble -Dbuild.snapshot=false

Instead?

Hi David, Still getting same error with gradle assemble -Dbuild.snapshot=false

Error:
"What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating project ':x-pack:plugin:core'.
Property license.key must be set for release build"

I am using Gradle 4.7, ES 6.3.1, even tried with Gradle 4.9

Thank you all, this issue is resolved

For the record (and future readers), you need a signing key to build a non-snapshot version.
