Original Slack Thread

Hey guys, when I run ‘gradlew build’ to build datahub, I get an error:

Configuration on demand is an incubating feature.

\datahub\buildSrc\src\main\java\io\datahubproject\OpenApiEntities.java:10: error: Program packagecom.linkedin.metadata.models.registry.config inexistence

Hey there! :wave: Make sure your message includes the following information if relevant, so we can help more effectively!

  1. Which DataHub version are you using? (e.g. 0.12.0)
  2. Please post any relevant error logs on the thread!

I am running version 1.12.5 on windows

We don’t actively support Windows as a development environment, but also this seems like perhaps you have not built your models yet. Please see the recommended commands for building: https://datahubproject.io/docs/developers/#building-the-project , building the entire project is not recommended instead build modules you need specifically.

This error occurred when I was using idea to open the dathub source code, as well as when I executed gradle commands such as gradle build/clean
