# Troostwijk Auction Extractor - Run Instructions
## Fixed Warnings
All warnings have been resolved:
- ✅ SLF4J logging configured (slf4j-simple)
- ✅ Native access enabled for SQLite JDBC
- ✅ Logging output controlled via simplelogger.properties
## Prerequisites
1. **Java 21** installed
2. **Maven** installed
3. **IntelliJ IDEA** (recommended) or command line
## Setup (First Time Only)
### 1. Install Dependencies
In IntelliJ Terminal or PowerShell:
```bash
# Reload Maven dependencies
mvn clean install
# Install Playwright browser binaries (first time only)
mvn exec:java -e -Dexec.mainClass=com.microsoft.playwright.CLI -Dexec.args="install"
```
## Running the Application
### Option A: Using IntelliJ IDEA (Easiest)
1. **Add VM Options for native access:**
- Run → Edit Configurations
- Select or create configuration for `TroostwijkAuctionExtractor`
- In "VM options" field, add:
```
--enable-native-access=ALL-UNNAMED
```
2. **Add Program Arguments (optional):**
- In "Program arguments" field, add:
```
--max-visits 3
```
3. **Run the application:**
- Click the green Run button
### Option B: Using Maven (Command Line)
```bash
# Run with 3 page limit
mvn exec:java
# Run with custom arguments (override pom.xml defaults)
mvn exec:java -Dexec.args="--max-visits 5"
# Run without cache
mvn exec:java -Dexec.args="--no-cache --max-visits 2"
# Run with unlimited visits
mvn exec:java -Dexec.args=""
```
### Option C: Using Java Directly
```bash
# Compile first
mvn clean compile
# Run with native access enabled
java --enable-native-access=ALL-UNNAMED \
-cp target/classes:$(mvn dependency:build-classpath -Dmdep.outputFile=/dev/stdout -q) \
com.auction.TroostwijkAuctionExtractor --max-visits 3
```
## Command Line Arguments
```
--max-visits <n> Limit actual page fetches to n (0 = unlimited, default)
--no-cache Disable page caching
--help Show help message
```
## Examples
### Test with 3 page visits (cached pages don't count):
```bash
mvn exec:java -Dexec.args="--max-visits 3"
```
### Fresh extraction without cache:
```bash
mvn exec:java -Dexec.args="--no-cache --max-visits 5"
```
### Full extraction (all pages, unlimited):
```bash
mvn exec:java -Dexec.args=""
```
## Expected Output (No Warnings)
```

Initializing Playwright browser...

```
## Cache Management
- Cache is stored in: `cache/page_cache.db`
- Cache expires after: 24 hours (configurable in code)
- To clear cache: Delete `cache/page_cache.db` file
## Troubleshooting
### If you still see warnings:
1. **Reload Maven project in IntelliJ:**
- Right-click `pom.xml` → Maven → Reload project
2. **Verify VM options:**
- Ensure `--enable-native-access=ALL-UNNAMED` is in VM options
3. **Clean and rebuild:**
```bash
mvn clean install
```
### If Playwright fails:
```bash
# Reinstall browser binaries
mvn exec:java -e -Dexec.mainClass=com.microsoft.playwright.CLI -Dexec.args="install chromium"
```
