Testing Plan
Before testing, please review the VIVO 1.12.x Documentation.
Cloning the release candidate from GitHub
To test the release candidate of VIVO 1.12.0, you will need to build the correct versions of Vitro-languages and VIVO-languages even if you only use VIVO in American English.
Clone the rel-1.12.0-RC branch of the four required GitHub projects into parallel directories. Then build Vitro-languages and VIVO-languages.
git clone --single-branch --branch rel-1.12.0-RC https://github.com/vivo-project/Vitro-languages.git git clone --single-branch --branch rel-1.12.0-RC https://github.com/vivo-project/VIVO-languages.git git clone --single-branch --branch rel-1.12.0-RC https://github.com/vivo-project/Vitro.git git clone --single-branch --branch rel-1.12.0-RC https://github.com/vivo-project/Vitro.git cd Vitro-languages mvn install cd ../VIVO-languages mvn install
Then proceed with the rest of the VIVO installation or upgrade according to the VIVO 1.12.x Documentation. Be sure that if you are testing a clean installation, be sure to supply an empty vivo-dir in your settings.xml file. If you are testing an upgrade, make a copy of your existing VIVO 1.11 vivo-dir directory and supply the location of that copy as the value of vivo-dir in your settings.xml file.
