Problems running on Windows

[lask79]

Hi,

I am facing some problems when trying to get this example to run on my Windows machine:
http://mrhaki.blogspot.de/2014/11/awesome-asciidoctor-use-asciidoctor.html

I am getting the following error:

Installing asciidoctor-diagram-1.2.0.gem,asciidoctor-1.5.1.gem

It seems JRuby can not install the gems because the folder "build/vendors" is still empty. But when I try to install them in the command client with the same input it works:

D:\java\jdk\bin\java.exe -Dfile.encoding=windows-1252 -Duser.country=DE -Duser.language=de -Duser.variant -cp C:\Users\FOX0R5N\gradle\caches\modules-2\files-2.1\org.jruby\jruby-complete\1.7.15\4d9cb332bad3633c9c23a720542f456dc0c58a81\jruby-complete-1.7.15.jar org.jruby.Main -S gem install C:\Users\FOX0R5N\gradle\caches\modules-2\files-2.1\rubygems\asciidoctor-diagram\1.2.0\fd145b1eee21bca7bac8b4c090d1f5ec9a6e30dd\asciidoctor-diagram-1.2.0.gem C:\Users\FOX0R5N\gradle\caches\modules-2\files-2.1\rubygems\asciidoctor\1.5.1\ba1b5e87fbbbdcdbf97ccd98fc57ce494743f439\asciidoctor-1.5.1.gem --ignore-dependencies --install-dir=D:\workspaces\developer-guide\documentation-template-gradle\build\vendor -N --platform=java

I also found out that I can run the gradle build when I start my console with "Run as Administrator". Most of my collegues do not have admin rights on their machine so this is not an option for us.

Do you have any Ideas how I can run this build without admin rights?

Hi @lask79,

It seems JRuby can not install the gems because the folder "build/vendors" is still empty. But when I try to install them in the command client with the same input it works:

For interest sake, does it actually work if you manually create build/vendors before running gradle?

[lask79]

No, this folder exists the whole time. As I mentioned before it is running inside a CMD with Run as Administrator or when I call the JRuby gem install manually.

@lask79 is this bug really closed? I don't think we've actually fixed anything :P

[lask79]

Hmm, I wish it could be fixed by just pressing the wrong button ;-)

[ysb33r]

For sanity, can you clarify which version of if the jruby-gradle-plugin you were using.

[lask79]

Sure, I tried several versions from 0.1.2 to 0.1.9.

[robertpanzer]

I have the same problem building the current AsciidoctorJ on Windows7.
It uses jruby-gradle 0.1.9.

[rtyler]

Interesting, good to know @robertpanzer. I'll try to get a Windows machine up in AWS to reproduce and debug this issue

[mojavelinux]

Keep in mind that for testing on Windows, you can use the Modern IE virtual machine images. IMO, it's the fastest way to get a Windows box on your non-Windows machine.

As for tests, we should definitely get the JRuby plugin running on AppVeyor. Setup is extremely simple. You create a YAML file much like Travis and it handles the rest. You can even use the web-based wizard to create the appveyor.yml file.

See http://www.appveyor.com/

Here's the config for Asciidoctor for reference: https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor/blob/master/appveyor.yml

[ysb33r]

Appveyor support is in (#92). However, @mojavelinux , do you know if there is a way of using the github organisation account on Appveyor rather than my own account?

[ysb33r]

Good (??) news is that I have been able to reproduce the issue that @lask79 was referring to.

[ysb33r]

Unlike @lask79, I do not even get it to run gem from the command-line when using jruby 1.7.16

E:\asciidoctor-issue>"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_25\bin\java.exe" -Dfile.encoding=windows-1252  
   -cp C:\Users\IEUser\.gradle\caches\modules-2\files-2.1\org.jruby\jruby-complete\1.7.16
          \8ef6c848cc5491c5f22ddad4532c68fe778421f6\jruby-complete-1.7.16.jar 
   org.jruby.Main -S gem
jruby: No such file or directory -- gem (LoadError)

(lines broken for readability)

When run with 1.7.17 it installs from the command-line.
