Missing Jar files for Si4T/Solr compile (cd_datalayer)

Question

I am currently trying to compile si4t storage extension, I have cloned from the Github repo and it seems I am missing a few jar files when I build. I am currently working on a project using the following versions:

SDL Web Content Manager : 8.6.0 SDL Web Content Manager Explorer: 8.6.0.45274 SDL Web Experience Manager: 8.6.0.46292

I've checked that the pom.xml file has the correct references and versions but the cd_datalayerjar appears to be no longer available in the maven repo.

The full error is below:

 [ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project si4t-se: Could not resolve dependencies for project org.si4t:si4t-se:jar:1.3: Failed to collect dependencies at com.tridion:cd_datalayer:jar:[8.5.0,8.5.1): No versions available for com.tridion:cd_datalayer:jar:[8.5.0,8.5.1) within specified range

Can anyone point me in the right direction in terms of documents or locations of this jar files?

Try the following steps to fix your issue.

1. Go to SDL Tridion Sites 8.5 Installation Media folder
2. Navigate to this path: \Content Delivery\roles\deployer\deployer-combined\standalone\services\deployer-common\ and copy the file cd_datalayer-8.5.0-1014.jar to your local path folder for example c:\temp
3. Open cmd as administrator and go to c:\temp and run the below command to Installing Tridion libraries into the local Maven repository...

call mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=com.tridion -DartifactId=cd_datalayer -Dversion=8.5.0 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=cd_datalayer-8.5.0-1014.jar

4. And then try to build your source it will work.

I hope it will help to resolve your issue.
