Installation fails: Unknown sub-command: 'cp' #262

Closed adventmedia closed 9 years ago

adventmedia commented 9 years ago

Possibly an issue with Virtualbox 5.0? Running the script to install IE 9, 10 and 11; at some point the process aborts with the error: Unknown sub-command: 'cp' Previous statement is usage for VBoxManage guestcontrol. IE9 and IE10 are installed at this point, but IE10 is in a running state.

Same here. I've cloned the ievms repo locally and am working on trying to get it working with VB 5.0, with the intent to make a pull request, but I'm still struggling a bit with some of the later steps in the process.

Yeah, they removed and renamed some VBoxManage sub-commands in VBox 5 (broke boot2docker as well). I'm on the case tho!

nbudin commented 9 years ago

Thanks @xdissent! :+1:

xdissent commented 9 years ago

Wow, I think they really boned the 5.0 release. Specifically, I'm pretty sure they 100% broke copying files from host to guest, which is crucial. I'm trying to put a finer point on the specific issues and I'll file bug reports tomorrow.

I had the same issue with sub-command 'exec' when I installed VirtualBox 5. Using the older VirtualBox-4.3.10-93012-OSX image linked by this article fixed the problem http://osxdaily.com/2011/09/04/internet-explorer-for-mac-ie7-ie8-ie-9-free/

VirtualBox 5 has changed it's API, so we need an updated script to use it.

xdissent commented 9 years ago

Yeah, the exec syntax change is weird and annoying, but the bigger issue (since we can't work around it) is that the copy commands are broken altogether. For one, there's an obvious argument parsing bug (classic off-by-one), but there is also some deeper bug that totally prevents the copy operation... I just haven't been able to find the cause yet. Stick with 4.x.x for now if you can.

Good luck @xdissent I love ievms, will switch to saucelabs manual testing for now. Thx

+1 for installing VirtualBox 4.3.x. Got me up and running.

+1 on the exec issue :(

xdissent commented 9 years ago

I pushed a potential fix in the vbox-5 branch. Give it a try:

$ curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xdissent/ievms/vbox-5.0/ievms.sh | bash

Fixed in v0.3.0
