Symptoms

Building with Maven depends on build files such as pom.xml. If these files are not found, the build will fail and return an error message indicating that xxx project cannot find the xxx file. The following table lists common error messages.

Tool	Build File	Error
Maven	pom.xml	The goal you specified requires a project to execute but there is no POM in this directory (). Please verify you invoked Maven from the correct directory.
Ant	build.xml	Buildfile: build.xml does not exist!
npm	package.json	npm ERR! enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/package.json'
Yarn	package.json	error Couldn't find a package.json file in ""

Cause Analysis

The possible causes are as follows:

No build file exists in the code project directory.
The code project directory is nested. The directory where the build commands are executed does not contain the required file.

Solution

Check whether the required build file is lost in the project.
Check whether the build file is in the root directory of the project (or whether the build file path is specified in the build command). If necessary, run the cd command to go to the subdirectory.
Example:
```
cd demo-root/demo
mvn package -Dmaven.test.failure.ignore=true
```
