Can't run with steps from contributing.md

[VillePekka]

Have I missed some steps below how to run it from dev tree with "gradlew :server:devRun"?

Steps taken

1. Cloned repo " git clone https://github.com/OpenIntegrationEngine/engine.git"
2. installed sdkman with "curl -s "https://get.sdkman.io" | bash"
3. installed environment with "sdk env install"
4. built with "gradlew build -PdisableSigning=true"
5. tested with "gradlew test"
6. ran "gradlew :server:createDerbyDb"
7. then "gradlew :server:devRun"

received and error

vipera@vipera-ubuntu-vm:~/engine$ ./gradlew :server:devRun

Task :server:devRun

ERROR 2026-08-17 23:21:00.112 [Main Server Thread] com.mirth.connect.server.Mirth: Error establishing connection to data
base, retrying startup in 10000 milliseconds
java.lang.RuntimeException: java.io.IOException: Could not find resource SqlMapConfig.xml

can locate the file in the repo:

vipera@vipera-ubuntu-vm:~/engine$ find . -iname 'SqlMapConfig.xml'
./server/dbconf/SqlMapConfig.xml

Next step I think would be to make the software to find the SqlMapCOnfig.xml file?

I copied the files to ./engine/build/classes/java/main/ and got a little bit further. One thing to figure out is how to make the files available appropriately,

Now I receive error:
"[Main Server Thread] com.mirth.connect.server.controllers.DefaultContextFactoryController: Unable to update libraries: Plugin "Directory Resource" not found.

Seems like info about the plugin is defined here: /server/src/main/resources/com/mirth/connect/plugins/directoryresource/plugin.xml

Cleaner way to have the SqlMapConfig.xml etc. to be available seems to be is to add "files('dbconf')" to classpath in server/build.gradle:

engine/server/build.gradle

Line 955 in 302ebab

classpath = files('conf') + sourceSets.main.runtimeClasspath

.

I still receive the error "[Main Server Thread] com.mirth.connect.server.controllers.DefaultContextFactoryController: Unable to update libraries: Plugin "Directory Resource" not found."
