System Loader scripts are not being generated

[MojoJojo]

Followed the documentation at offical page and created a new simple scala project (Mac OS) with the following:

plugins.sbt:

addSbtPlugin("com.typesafe.sbt" % "sbt-native-packager" % "1.2.0-M5")

build.sbt:

enablePlugins(JavaServerAppPackaging)
enablePlugins(SystemVPlugin)
startRunlevels  :=Option("3")
maintainer := "Donald Duck"
packageSummary := "Native packager test project"
packageDescription := "Native packager test project"
stopRunlevels :=Option("3")
rpmVendor:="Donald Duck"

src/main/scala/Hello.scala:

object Hi {
  def main(args: Array[String]) = println("Hi!")
}

when I run sbt packageBin I get a zip file with a bash script to run the java server application but no script to install/uninstall the SystemV service. Am I missing something or is there something wrong with the plugin?

Your configuration is correct. Your sbt command isn't :)

with packageBin ( which IIRC triggers universal:packageBin ) generates only a universal zip file. A systemloader is a operating system specific part. That's why it's not included in a universal zip.

Generate a debian or rpm file with

debian:packageBin
rpm:packageBin

The generated deb or rpm package will have the systemloader files included, because they are in the place a rpm/debian based system would expect them.

Ah. I see. I was hoping that just enabling the right plugin would automagically tell the pluing to generate the right scripts 😛 . thank you for your help.

I installed the rpm and rpm-build packages but now I get the error below:

error: Group field must be present in package: (main package)

I tried:

rpmGroup := "Applications/MyApp"

but it still gives me the error. Not sure what I am missing now?

[MojoJojo]

Tested a bit more and turns out that the exact build script works perfectly on Fedora and fails on Mac OS. Not sure if building an RPM is supported on Mac OS?

Okay, seems like I figured it out. A root project has to be defined with the correct rpmGroup in order for the plugin to work:

 val main = Project("sbt-native-packager-test",base = file("."))

.enablePlugins(JavaServerAppPackaging)
.enablePlugins(SystemVPlugin)
.settings(rpmGroup:=Some("Applications/SomeGroup"))
.settings(startRunlevels  :=Option("3"))
.settings(maintainer := "Donald Duck")
.settings(packageSummary := "Native packager test project")
.settings(packageDescription := "Native packager test project")
.settings(stopRunlevels :=Option("3"))
.settings(rpmVendor:="Donald Duck")
.settings(rpmRelease:="1")
.settings(version:="0.0.1")
.settings(serverLoading:= Option(ServerLoader.SystemV))
.settings(rpmLicense := Some("BSD"))

Now it gives the following errors:

[info] Executing(%install): /bin/sh -e /var/folders/4m/t8_hjrk16kncmz84wq7z9sgw0000gn/T/sbt_1ce9e82a/rpm-tmp.12111

Permission issue perhaps?

Oh..guess I can safely ignore this one? #103

Ah. I see. I was hoping that just enabling the right plugin would automagically tell the pluing to generate the right scripts

You still have to tell sbt what package you want to generate ;) By enabling the JavaAppArchetype you can build zip, dmg, tar, msi, deb, rpm and docker.

Yes, rpm outputs are printed via stderr :(

Okay, seems like I figured it out. A root project has to be defined with the correct rpmGroup in order for the plugin to work

Hm. Not really. Your example looks good. This is a minimal example from native-packager.

Tested a bit more and turns out that the exact build script works perfectly on Fedora and fails on Mac OS. Not sure if building an RPM is supported on Mac OS?

We try to, but the main goal of native-packager is provide a working build on the native platform ( in this case Fedora/RHEL/CentOS)

[MojoJojo]

Thank you for the quick responses and the support. Much appreciated.

I cloned the repository and the minimal example and tried to build it:

You are right about the root project, but it still requires rpmGroup:=Some("Applications/MyGroup") to package on Mac. On Fedora, it works out of the box.

[muuki88]

Interesting. Thanks for testing. What version of rpm are you using?
