Error on command "basil serve" with linux

[chris-gc]

Hello,

Linux support on some distros is still a little shaky. Would you please try editing your ./src/serve/index.js file around line 202:

    try {
        spawn("dns-sd", [
            "-P", "basil", "_tealeaf._tcp", "local",
            basePort, String(address), String(address), "basil"
        ]).on('exit', function (code) {
            if (code) {
                logger.error('(dns-sd exited with code ' + code + ")");
            }
        });
    } catch (ex) {
        logger.error("WARNING: Unable to find dns-sd in your path.  The Test App functionality will not work.");
    }

Just wrap that spawn() statement in a try catch and please check if that prevents it from dying on you.

Thanks for helping to support the devkit! -Chris

I got the same error... i'm using ubuntu 11.10 by the way....

[chris-gc]

Okay, thanks for trying that. We haven't fixed this yet, so I'm downloading an Ubuntu 11.10 VM image to look into it. Will keep this issue open for now until I resolve it.

[sirgallifrey]

Ok! Thanks for your quick reply! I'm gonna install ubuntu 12.10 to test!

[chris-gc]

I installed Ubuntu 11.10, with the apt-get version of git, a manually built version of node.js, and openjdk-6-jre package from apt-get, and basil serve does not crash with this error. I got a prompt during ./install.sh to run a sudo chown command which I just copy/pasted into the terminal.

Does your setup differ from this?

The problem you're having is probably that tealeaf-build-tools.jar didn't get downloaded during ./install.sh because the script didn't finish for some reason. Maybe re-running ./install.sh will fix it?

It would also be helpful if you could list the files under your devkit/lib folder to make sure the install script downloaded the tealeaf-build-tools.jar.

@sirgallifrey : If you find a solution for this problem, please post here. I have same issue.

@chris-gc I've fixed those issues here. Though I thought it'll shop up in here, not in new issue. I must've done something wrong.

[chris-gc]

Thanks @walkhard -- Will be pulling those changes in to the next release =)

@chris-gc no problem, I'm glad I could help.

[sirgallifrey]

[sirgallifrey]
