MacOs compatibility

[FredericL]

It is created if you change some settings in the app. Not sure that it gets created by default, because if you do not change any setting, the application config file is enough.
Regarding the jave path you indicate (/Users/gprovost/.sdkman/candidates/java/current), are you sure it corresponds to a java path ? Because sometimes the bin is necessary, sometimes it should end with java only...

If you comment out the jdk_home variable (# at the beggining of the line) in both config files (user one and app one), does Ancestris find the default java version (the one you get when you type java -version on the console)? Because it should.

If it does, then it is just a question of forcing Ancestris to take another one with the jdk_home variable.

Regards,
Frederic

Could you try this path please ?
/Users/gprovost/.sdkman/candidates/java/current/Content/Home

On MacOS the path of the config is
/Applications/Ancestris.app/Contents/Resources/ancestris/etc/ancestris.conf

[gprovost]

Hello

I was able to update the conf file inside the app (show package content, ...) but I still get the error message

jdkhome="/Users/gprovost/.sdkman/candidates/java/current/bin/"

However launching the app from within the package content by clicking on "ancestris" opens a terminal that displays more infos

/Applications/Ancestris.app/Contents/Resources/ancestris/bin/ancestris ; exit;

as you can see jdkhome is correctly set but what is the meaning of "(for MacOS, /Contents/Home should be at the end)" because there is no such folder within /Users/gprovost/.sdkman/candidates/java/current/bin/ ?

[FredericL]

It is mentioned here in the doc:
https://docs.ancestris.org/books/user-guide/page/java-installation#bkmrk-cas-de-macos
But it depends of your java package actually which does not seem to be in a package.

So you might want to try something else than /Users/gprovost/.sdkman/candidates/java/current/bin/.
Try /Users/gprovost/.sdkman/candidates/java/current/ or /Users/gprovost/.sdkman/candidates/java/.
Cheers.

Hello Frédéric

Same error
Checking if jdkhome is defined: (for MacOS, /Contents/Home should be at the end)
   jdkhome=/Users/gprovost/.sdkman/candidates/java
 
Checking JAVA presence
   macOS...

   JAVA is NOT installed or not found! Please install it. Ancestris cannot start.

looks like installing java using sdkman does not create a folder structure that contains "/Contents/Home" and if the app perform a verification this information (presence of /Contents/Home" it will fails

Can you tell me where I can find the source code of the app to verify the code being executed by "Checking JAVA presence" ?

Regards

Gregory

It is the bin/ancestris script.

Hello Frederic

based on those articles :

I was able to start the app by modifying the script so that it does not rely anymore on /usr/libexec/java_home

[FredericL]

Merci pour le retour !
J'imagine qu'ensuite tu remplaces $jdkhome par $java_directory dans le lancement de nbexec, non ?

[gprovost]

non c'est cela que je ne comprend pas car j'ai mis les lignes en commentaires

          #if [ -z "$jdkhome" ]; then
            #    jdkhome=$(dirname "$java_directory")
            #    echo "jdkhome was empty and therefore changed to $jdkhome"
            #fi     

Si je ne les met pas en commentaire, lorsque je double clique sur l'appli elle ne se lance pas. mais si je la lance en command line, l'appli démarre

Par contre comme l'appli démarre j'ai enfin des logs

mais sur ma machine JAVA_HOME est correctement défini

[FredericL]

J'en déduis que si tu avais mis jdkhome=/Users/gprovost/.sdkman/candidates/java/17.0.11-tem dans ton fichier ancestris.conf, cela aurait peut-être marché sans changer le script.

[gprovost]

non car le problème est l'éxécution de la commande /usr/libexec/java_home qui ne fonctionne que si tu installes java de façon traditionnelle

[FredericL]

Ah oui, ok.
Bon, l'important c'est que tu aies réussi à le faire marcher.
On va garder en tête ce cas de figure. Peux-tu m'envoyer ton script sur mon mail direct stp ? Merci beaucoup.
Frédéric
