[BUG] Fetch Full Installer Flag failing (& overwriting existing version despite the Update flag)

Rorzzer commented 10 months ago

Describe the bug --ffi fails with error "2023-11-15 12:53:45 | v31.0 | [run_fetch_full_installer] Could not obtain installer information using softwareupdate --list-full-installers. Cannot continue."

Also the --update flag is not honoured and the script reports "2023-11-15 12:53:38 | v31.0 | [overwrite_existing_installer] Overwrite option selected. Deleting existing version."

To Reproduce

If applicable, please provide the full command used when running the script.
Please describe how the script was run. [e.g. Standalone via Terminal, in Jamf Policy from the uploaded pkg, in Jamf policy from uploaded script only, via another MDM provider] Run via JAMF Policy with the following flags on an M1 Mac running macOS 14.0, Arguments provided: --reinstall --update --rebootdelay=120 --power-wait-limit=180 --ffi --os=14

Expected behavior A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen. Device to update to latest macOS14 version from Apple servers, (ideally via our content cache but that is not script related).

Code/log output Please supply the full command used, and if applicable, add full output from Terminal or from /var/log/erase-install.log. Don't post a partial log - I need the whole thing. Either upload the log as a file, or paste the output in a code block like this:

Confirming that the softwareupdate --list-full-installers command does work outside of the script.

The overwrite section is just the part where a new installer is downloaded, and being induced because there is no installer currently on the system.

Something prevented the computer from obtaining a list of installers using the softwareupdate command. Check your network. Try running the command manually on the affected computer:

softwareupdate --list-full-installers

Rorzzer commented 10 months ago

Hey @grahampugh, see comments above. Commands all work fine separately but not via the script.

kMikaZu commented 9 months ago

I can confirm this behaviour. The script checks for a download and then just quits. Nothing changed to the config, network is fine. Also tested with version 31.0 and the --overwrite parameter but that doesn't help.

@kMikaZu This Issue relates to the --ffi flag, but you didn't supply that flag.

You're trying to get 13.6.2 but that update is only available for a small subset of Mac. You would be better to use --os=13 to get the latest version available for that Mac.

kMikaZu commented 9 months ago

I guess the only good option then whether to see an update is available or not, is to check on a test-device in the Software Update pane? We want to keep control and update version per version, on a regular base (with testing).

grahampugh commented 9 months ago

If you want to deploy specific versions then you'll need to keep on top of what versions are current. I would advise to run erase-install.sh --list on a test device of the same Model to see what the latest compatible update available is. Checking softwareupdate is not quite as good, because erase-install only handles full installers, whereas softwareupdate may be offering delta updates.

As this issue has been hijacked by various different and unrelated potential issues and questions, it's no longer possible to track properly. I'll close it, and any of you still having problems with their own issues, please open a new issue - don't answer here.
