jargroup_getlatest() fails

[lukehasnoname]

I get the error of "URL downloaded multiple files" even when I verify the $num_files value is returning 1. I don't know enough about bash or the script to try to fix it...

My workaround was to disable the num_files check completely. Things work just fine now.

I was using the official minecraft_server.jar link from the doc.

(PS feature: include error codes and make a doc for that.)

I think this may be related to the issue that I'm having, so I won't bother creating a new issue.

I'm having an issue creating a jargroup, and appears that MSM is having difficulty downloading the .jar:

sudo msm jargroup create minecraft https://s3.amazonaws.com/MinecraftDownload/launcher/minecraft_server.jar
Creating jar group... Failed.
No directory, logging in with HOME=/

Running jargroup list:

sudo msm jargroup list
minecraft

Creating server:

sudo msm server create test
Creating server directory... No directory, logging in with HOME=/
No directory, logging in with HOME=/
No directory, logging in with HOME=/
No directory, logging in with HOME=/
No directory, logging in with HOME=/
No directory, logging in with HOME=/
No directory, logging in with HOME=/
Done.

Adding jargroup to server:

sudo msm test jar minecraft
Downloading latest version... No directory, logging in with HOME=/
Done.
Error. URL downloads multiple files.
No directory, logging in with HOME=/

I'm playing around with MSM using Vagrant, on the standard Ubuntu precise64 box.

As I am new to MSMHQ, I hope that I am posting relevant information in the correct location since I am also encountering this issue on a newly imaged Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64Bit install.

MSM installs fine. I have created a new server via the "sudo msm server create " without any issues. ...then the errors came.

Next I tried to create the 'minecraft' jargroup 'sudo msm jargroup create minecraft https://s3.amazonaws.com/MinecraftDownload/launcher/minecraft_server.jar' but encounted the following error: (same as DavidWriter)

Creating jar group... Failed.
No directory, logging in with HOME=/

Then, not thinking due to lack of sleep, I attempted to assign the JAR (that error'd out) to the newly created server but trying to execute:

sudo msm jar minecraft

This is where I encountered the exact same error as davidwinter yet again!

Downloading latest version..... no directory, logging in with HOME=/
Error. URL downloads multiple files.
No directory, logging in with HOME=/

The one thing I noticed was that I could see that a "Downloads" directory was temporarily created inside the /opt/msm/jars/minecraft directory, but once the command error'd out completely, the downloads directory vanished.

I also tried "sudo chown minecraft /opt/msm" to see if it was a permissions issue, but no such luck.

I did notice that the 'minecraft' ID via the user accounts in the system settings shows the 'minecraft' ID (Standard), but that account shows "Account disabled' in the pwd field, could this be the smoking gun?

Thank you in advance.

I believe the "No directory, logging in with HOME=/" lines are all just because the minecraft user doesn't have a home directory set. This is fine, as no one's going to be logging in as minecraft.

I was able to get this to work like lukehasnoname did and just set the check on line 1048 to be:
if [[ "$num_files" == "$num_files" ]]; then
which will, of course, always return true.

I, also, tried printing out the $num_files that it things is more than 1, but just get 1. Perhaps there's some string / integer comparison issues?

I am having this same issue

[NeilBetham]

I have this same issue, I think. I did some testing and it seems to be that the output "No directory, logging in with HOME=/" is causing the issue because the text output is being picked up and used somewhere in the script accidentally. I created a home directory for the "minecraft" user and the error went away and jar group updated no problem.

[thonixx]

I also encountered the same problem and ran into the issue with "multiple files". I tried to verify the check and saw that the variable $num_files returned 1 but the check always fails even when "if" tested the variable for "1". I did not look deeper into this because I am too tired at the moment and I would mess things up I think.
I will try to set a home directory for my user.

[bitscribble]

The solution for me was:

sudo mkdir /home/minecraft
chown -R minecraft:minecraft /home/minecraft/
sudo usermod -d /home/minecraft minecraft

Now server jar was downloaded without an error...

[trevor-hackett]

I can confirm with bitscribble. After creating the home directory, it does in fact download the jar file like it is supposed to. Everything works great now

[pgurjao]

Same as yarrgh said.
I used the 3 commands bitscrebble mentioned and now jar files updates like it should and I get no more "No directory, logging in with HOME=/" errors too.
Thanks!
