Description Rich Mattes 2016-01-06 05:13:09 UTC

Description of problem:
The Arduino IDE fails to launch on f23 when using the latest f23 packages.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
arduino-1.6.4-3.fc23.noarch

How reproducible:
Install arduino-1.6.4-3 from koji, and try to run the "arduino" script in /usr/bin

Steps to Reproduce:
1. $ sudo dnf install https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/arduino/1.6.4/3.fc23/noarch/arduino-1.6.4-3.fc23.noarch.rpm https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/arduino/1.6.4/3.fc23/noarch/arduino-core-1.6.4-3.fc23.noarch.rpm https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/arduino/1.6.4/3.fc23/noarch/arduino-doc-1.6.4-3.fc23.noarch.rpm
2. $ arduino


Actual results:
$ arduino 
Loading configuration...
Initializing packages...
java.io.FileNotFoundException: /usr/share/arduino/dist/package_index.json (No such file or directory)
	at java.io.FileInputStream.open0(Native Method)
	at java.io.FileInputStream.open(FileInputStream.java:195)
	at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java:138)
	at processing.app.helpers.FileUtils.copyFile(FileUtils.java:44)
	at processing.app.BaseNoGui.initPackages(BaseNoGui.java:578)
	at processing.app.Base.<init>(Base.java:266)
	at processing.app.Base.guardedMain(Base.java:210)
	at processing.app.Base.main(Base.java:123)


Expected results:
IDE launches successfully.

Additional info:
It appears that the files that Arduino wants are:
  Arduino-1.6.4/app/test/cc/arduino/packages/contributions/package_index.json
  Arduino-1.6.4/app/test/cc/arduino/packages/contributions/package_index.json.sig

When these files are both placed in /usr/share/arduino/dist, the IDE launches successfully.  The spec file should be updated to install these two files to the proper location so that the IDE starts.

I am seeing the same error with Fedora23-arm with installing this version via Fedora-updates-testing repo.

But my installation does not have the mentioned package_index.json nor .json.sig files.

Comment 2 Adam Williamson 2016-01-06 17:01:44 UTC

Please file negative karma at https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2015-f7e72969b8 - that is, click the 'X' button for "Is the update generally functional?" and post a comment explaining the problem (maybe just link to this bug). Thanks!

Comment 3 Rich Mattes 2016-01-06 17:31:49 UTC

@adam: Thanks for the reminder, I just submitted a negative report.

@robert: I got the missing files from the source tarball, not the installed rpms.  I downloaded the source from the lookaside as follows:

$ fedpkg clone -a arduino
$ cd arduino
$ fedpkg switch-branch f23
$ fedpkg prep
