Option ‘server-adminlist’ does not exist

[filter-visor]

Hi there. I was just rolling a new headless ubuntu VM (ubuntu-19.04-live-server-amd64) to host a save-game of mine with some friends. I have followed the instructions to the best of my ability and checked multiple times that I am doing everything correctly. I appear to have stumbled upon an issue. Here is what it looks like.

I did as the debug section suggested and turned on debugging and then run the invocation command to see what the script is running. Then run the same command as the factorio user.

factorio@factorio:~$ /opt/factorio-init/factorio invocation

DEBUG: Determining WRITE_DIR based on /opt/factorio/config/config.ini, IF you edited write-data from the default, this probably fails
DEBUG: write path: /opt/factorio/bin/x64/../..
/opt/factorio/bin/x64/factorio --config /opt/factorio/config/config.ini --port 34197 --start-server-load-latest --server-settings /opt/factorio/data/server-settings.json --server-adminlist /opt/factorio/data/server-adminlist.json

So I run the command and here is what the output is.

factorio@factorio:~$ /opt/factorio/bin/x64/factorio --config /opt/factorio/config/config.ini --port 34197 --start-server-load-latest --server-settings /opt/factorio/data/server-settings.json --server-adminlist /opt/factorio/data/server-adminlist.json

                                inside the given mod. If no mod is given, it is
                                looked for in the top-level scenarios directory.
      --start-server-load-latest
                                start a multiplayer server and load the

                                from

I guess that explains why the script won't start the server. I am just not sure what the best resolution would be, so I turned here for some advice.

Thanks so much for your time.

Are you still on 0.16? This is due to https://github.com/Bisa/factorio-init/pull/143, which apparently just assumes everyone is on experimental already. Either upgrade to 0.17 or edit out the option in the invocation inside /opt/factorio-init/factorio:

That did the trick, thanks! When I get our group to move to .17 I will be sure to re-add the line. Thanks again.

Not sure this issue should be closed since factorio-init installs stable by default yet expects experimental parameters upon invocation. This means that the current workflow of git clone ... ->.../factorio install -> .../factorio start is broken.

Ai. I came here, because i had the same issue. Please mark this in your readme.

Thanks, this was driving me crazy for a few hours. Maybe it would be a good idea to not use experimental features if no experimental version is downloaded by default? That makes this project broken by default which is undesirable.
