Could not load PropertiesLauncher

[eshenayo]

When running sudo ./devicestarter.sh I get the error:

Error: Could not find or load main class org.springframework.boot.loader.PropertiesLauncher

Which is from this line:

java -cp $CP -Djava.library.path=$LIB_PATH -XX:ErrorFile=$POSSUM_LOG_PATH/CrashLog/hs_err_pid%p.log -XX:ReplayDataFile=$POSSUM_LOG_PATH/CrashLog/replay_pid%p.log -Dlog4j2.formatMsgNoLookups=true -Dloader.main=com.target.devicemanager.DeviceMain org.springframework.boot.loader.PropertiesLauncher

This may be user error.

What were you trying to do when running the devicestarter.sh? Were you trying to run Possum locally? If so, there are steps detailed in the ReadMe to assist with this process here. We are trying to make our ReadMe more detailed, so if these steps are unclear, please reach out and we will try to update them accordingly.

Usually when running locally, we don't run the devicestarter.sh because it is meant to be used on a physical register with devices attached. As detailed in our Sequence Overview Diagram the devicestarter.sh defines classpaths and libraries and then starts Possum. When running locally, we bypass this setup step by starting Possum with gradle instead of the script. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the reply! Yes, I was trying to run the script locally, but it is being run on a physical register with the devices attached.

Do you have a register that you are running devicestarter.sh on that is not working? Were you able to get Possum up and running on your local machine?

I have possum running, but it isn't picking up any of the attached devices:

And when hitting the peripherals endpoint, there is an error in the output of the possum run that the format is incorrect

When you run the simulator, are you using the command ./gradlew run -DuseSimulators=true?

[eshenayo]

I'm not running the simulator, I have peripherals that I want to verify control of. I have the env variable set to local for SPRING_PROFILES_ACTIVE

I am running the command as:

cd $POSSUM_DIR
sudo -E ./gradlew run

Where POSSUM_DIR is set to the cloned repository base. I already ran sudo -E ./gradlew build and I have the drivers for my peripherals installed (NCR, HP and Zebra)
