Payara Micro command line option --hzconfigfile is stripping the full file path and only using the file name/FISH-8106

[paulmichaelhowell]

Brief Summary

When I used the option --hzconfigfile /config/hazelcast-aws.xml, firstly the aws plugin we were using didn't work any more (that plugin was merged into hazelcast 5 at some point), but then I noticed this log message on startup:

Boot Command set returned with result SUCCESS : PlainTextActionReporterSUCCESSDescription: set AdminCommandnull
hazelcast-runtime-configuration.hazelcast-configuration-file=hazelcast-aws.xml

So as a workaround I didn't use --hzconfigfile, and used a preboot file with the following instead:

set hazelcast-runtime-configuration.hazelcast-configuration-file=/config/hazelcast-aws.xml

Then everything worked fine.

So I think in PayaraMicroImpl.java where it's creating the preboot command with alternateHZConfigFile, needs set the full path and filename, and not just the filename.

Expected Outcome

The log message should be showing the full path to the hazelcast config file, then I think it should all work e.g.

Boot Command set returned with result SUCCESS : PlainTextActionReporterSUCCESSDescription: set AdminCommandnull
hazelcast-runtime-configuration.hazelcast-configuration-file=/config/hazelcast-aws.xml

Current Outcome

Boot Command set returned with result SUCCESS : PlainTextActionReporterSUCCESSDescription: set AdminCommandnull
hazelcast-runtime-configuration.hazelcast-configuration-file=hazelcast-aws.xml

Reproducer

Run payara micro with the option such as --hzconfigfile /config/hazelcast-aws.xml

In the fixed version you would see log output such as:

Boot Command set returned with result SUCCESS : PlainTextActionReporterSUCCESSDescription: set AdminCommandnull
hazelcast-runtime-configuration.hazelcast-configuration-file=/config/hazelcast-aws.xml

Hello @paumichaelhowell,

I have verified your report, and indeed, the --hzconfigfile command option is not recognising correctly the config XML file unless it is in the same folder as the Payara Micro jar file. Your workaround also worked as expected, and was added to my report. I have raised an internal issue FISH-8106, that our engineering team is going to start working on soon. Thank you very much for your report.

Thank you very much for your contribution!

Kind regards,
Felix Ifrim
