Upgrade to 2.2 SNAPSHOT won't start

[johnofcamas (John)]

I upgraded to 2.2 SNAPSHOT today (Mac OS) using the ‘upgrade’ script and now openhab won’t start. When I start it from the command line, I get dumped into the Karaf console, but no command is recognized:

~/Code/openhab-2 $ sudo ./start_debug.sh

Hit '<ctrl-d>' or type 'system:shutdown' or 'logout' to shutdown openHAB.

openhab> log:tail

openhab> logout

I have no clue where to go from here.

Is there anything in userdata/logs/ that contains an error? Have you used the upgrade script before?

[johnofcamas (John)]

Nope… log files are empty, No. I’ve never used the upgrade script before.

[Benjy (Ben Clark)]

And the upgrade script claimed to have updated successfully? Is there anything in /tmp/openhab2, as if there is it would suggest that it didn’t.

Quite honestly, I’ve never seen this before and don’t understand what’s happening in Karaf for it to start partially… @Kai, you’ve used the upgrade script with success on a Mac right? Have you seen this issue before?

@Benjy

@Kai, you’ve used the upgrade script with success on a Mac right? Have you seen this issue before?

Yes, I used it and no, I haven’t seen this before either And no time to help on investigations right now, sorry…

Are ALL commands not running or only log:xxx? With build #1009 and newer the logging was changed. From log4j to log4j2. From which build did you perform an update? I had to overwrite the org.ops4j.pax.logging.cfg with the new one!

Hi,

I’ve seen similar behaviour with a recent snapshot (tested builds 1044-1052) starting on a RPi2 using systemd, which then works if started manually from the console AND you wait 2-3mins.

After starting via systemd as a daemon failed, using start_debug.sh gave a console which did not recognise any commands, but presumably the on-line version then downloaded extra modules and started working - but only from the command line via start_debug.sh.

So, I’d suggest trying start_debug.sh with patience (seems to take ~2mins for log:tail to start working).

Starting a recent 2.2 snapshot via systemd gives the following error for me:

sudo systemctl status openhab2.service

Searching for the error message found an issue with docker apparently related to the console - could it be that there is a bug that requires Karaf to start in the foreground connected to a console?

OH2.2 - docker-compose vs docker - does not start

I have been running my openhab in dockers already for a long time but if just fails now Version 2.1-SNAPSHOT is working fine from docker-compose. But version 2.2-SNAPSHOT gives an error when running via docker-compose: Compose file (it was bigger, but trimmed it down to this and still fails): version: '2.1' services: openhab: image: 'openhab/openhab:2.2.0-snapshot-amd64' network_mode: "host" Error: openhab_1 | Launching the openHAB runtime... openhab_1 | openhab_1 …

@Benjy

And the upgrade script claimed to have updated successfully? Is there anything in /tmp/openhab2, as if there is it would suggest that it didn’t.

nothing in /tmp
Here are the results of the upgrade command:

I did update to 2.2 before updating to the snapshot, could that have caused problems?

So, I’d suggest trying start_debug.sh with patience (seems to take ~2mins for log:tail to start working).

No such luck

@Celaeno1

Are ALL commands not running or only log:xxx?

No commands work

[johnofcamas (John)]

A couple questions:

1. is it possible to manually update (not using the upgrade script)?
   or…
2. is it possible to back up my current config and just install 2.2 snapshot fresh?

[Celaeno1 (Alex)]

Please read at the bottom of this doc the backup/restore section:

http://docs.openhab.org/installation/macosx.html

An exactly way how to save the correct files and which to restore after a fresh installation for MacOS I don’t know. Sorry.

[johnofcamas (John)]

I ended up copying my config files manually, then re-installing 2.1 and I’m currently in the process of re-installing bindings, and configurations …

I’m thinking I’ll just pull the SNAPSHOT version of the network binding manually and add it to 2.1.

[ScheissSchiesser (Eric Schiesser)]

Hi All,

I am having a similar issue, but slightly different:

most commands seem to work, but it looks like the karaf runtime doens’t have the “more” command:

openhab> help
Command note found: more

But log:tail and other commands seems to work fine. I am on 2.2.0-SNAPSHOT, build 1094. Any suggestions?
