Issue description

@garbas (original author of package)

 LogonDispatcher received reject(probably running an old ccp version), reason [The version of the application you are running, 952.1e, is no longer supported.
Please download the current version from our web site.]

I am using the version in master when I tried this.

Technical details

Having similar problems. Found any solution?

stefaj commented 5 years ago

I am also looking for a solution. Currently I see the downloaded jar file for mac is out of date. We need a later version of this and then the nix package can be updated.

Rizvanov-Rinat commented 5 years ago

I solved the problem after installing new versions ib-controller and tws. I installed on a linux and used this guide.

coretemp commented 5 years ago

@Rizvanov-Rinat What does "I installed on a linux" mean?

Rizvanov-Rinat commented 5 years ago

@coretemp It’s my bad English. Stefan wrote about jar file for mac. I mean that used sh file for Linux.

Thank you for your contributions.

This has been automatically marked as stale because it has had no activity for 180 days.

If this is still important to you, we ask that you leave a comment below. Your comment can be as simple as "still important to me". This lets people see that at least one person still cares about this. Someone will have to do this at most twice a year if there is no other activity.

Here are suggestions that might help resolve this more quickly:

  1. Search for maintainers and people that previously touched the related code and @ mention them in a comment.
  2. Ask on the NixOS Discourse.
  3. Ask on the #nixos channel on irc.freenode.net.

still important -- the existing package can no longer connect to Interactive Brokers. Looks like we need to update the package to extract the jar from a .sh install script instead of expecting it to be directly downloaded.

I wonder if anybody will package up the client portal API and the IB-Gateway? It provides a RESTful API.

That's true, at the end of the .sh file is a .tar.gz postfixed. Can be extracted by 

tail -3014990c tws-latest-linux-x64.sh > sfx_archive.tar.gz

Exact byte number can be read from .sh in the first place.

Should we mark the current package as broken until there's a fix in place? I spent a little while trying to get this to work before realizing the build was from 2016 and is no longer supported.

I opened a PR to mark ib-tws and ib-controller as broken until we update the package: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/324591
