install-service does not work on Mac OS X 10.11 (El Capitan)

[rrgeorge]

Running install-service on Mac OS X 10.11 does not function properly, because the variable JAVA_HOME is set to null in the generated runtime/karaf/etc/openHAB-wrapper.conf. JAVA_HOME should be derived from running the command /usr/libexec/java_home when generating the openHAB-wrapper.conf file from install-service

I get the following output when issuing the command below

openhab> openhab:install-service 

Starting openHAB system service installation...

Creating file: /Library/openHAB2/openhab2-karaf/runtime/karaf/bin/openHAB-wrapper
Creating file: /Library/openHAB2/openhab2-karaf/runtime/karaf/bin/openHAB-service

And nothing more. Is something else expected to happen?

To configure openHAB as a user service execute the following file move:

To configure openHAB as a system service execute the following file move and authorisation changes:

To test your service: 
> launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/openHAB.plist

After restart of your session or system you can use the launchctl command to start and stop your service

For removing the service call:
> launchctl remove openHAB

@dvanherbergen As you did the integration, any chance that you could have a look at fixing @rrgeorge's problem?

[kgoderis]

The problem is due to the non responsive karaf console.

FYI, when killing the fault karaf session (the one hanging), then suddenly the openhab:install-service continues.

[dvanherbergen]

If I remember correctly, the JAVA_HOME was not manipulated during the installation, so it should have been set by the underlying Karaf service installation. I'll have look, maybe we can force it.

[dvanherbergen]

I can't reproduce this issue on OSX 10.11.4. When I clear JAVA_HOME prior to launching openhab and installing the service, the generated config is still generated with the correct entry:

set.default.JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_91.jdk/Contents/Home

This is because the start.sh calls the setenv.sh, which uses /usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.8 to initialize the JAVA_HOME variable if it wasn't set yet. This value is then used during the generation of the wrapper.

@rrgeorge , did you start openHAB with the start.sh script? Can you still reproduce the issue?

[kgoderis]

@dvanherbergen I had the same issue as @rrgeorge on El Capitan, but I did not clear the JAVA_HOME beforehand.

[rrgeorge]

The issue I'm experiencing is likely due to the fact that I'm not running OpenHAB as myself. I have it running as a system user, and install/upgrade it with a script I run, as root, that finishes with a: su _openhab -c ./start.sh then I manually run install-service. But since it doesn't get JAVA_HOME correctly, I then have to manually edit the openHAB-wrapper.conf.

[Trickx]

This issue is still open. I can confirm the issue on a Mac OSx Sierra with openHAB 2.1. Putting "export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home)" into openHAB-wrapper.conf manually solves this issue for me. JAVA_HOME was not set before.

[pkishino]

Yeah,same problem here..clear JAVA_HOME, launch karaf, run install-service..mv to /Library/LaunchDaemons etc.. won't run.. tried editing wrapper.conf sitll not working.. manually running with ./start works fine..

finally after much digging I got it working according to here: https://github.com/openhab/openhab-distro/issues/401
