IcePatch2 within IceGrid doesn't fails to start

Hello guys,

I've bumped into a problem, to which I can't seem to find a workaround.

The error is the following:
-- 06/03/16 07:56:59.680 icegridnode: Activator: activating server `IceGrid-Dev.IcePatch2' icepatch2server: error: createProperties failed: PropertiesI.cpp:404: Ice::FileException: file exception: No such file or directory path: /Users/username/Afolder -- 06/03/16 07:56:59.689 icegridnode: Activator: detected termination of server `IceGrid-Dev.IcePatch2' exit code = 1

The IcePatch2 server template is pretty standard I only added Trace and stderr and stdout:

<server-template id="IcePatch2">
            <parameter name="instance-name" default="${application}.IcePatch2"/>
            <parameter name="endpoints" default="default"/>
            <parameter name="directory"/>

            <server id="${instance-name}" exe="icepatch2server" application-distrib="false" activation="on-demand">
                <adapter name="IcePatch2" endpoints="${endpoints}">
                    <object identity="${instance-name}/server" type="::IcePatch2::FileServer"/>
                </adapter>
                <adapter name="IcePatch2.Admin" id="IcePatch2.Admin" endpoints="tcp -h localhost"/>
                <property name="IcePatch2.InstanceName" value="${instance-name}"/>
                <property name="IcePatch2.Directory" value="${directory}"/>
                <property name="Ice.ServerIdleTime" value="300" />
                <property name="Ice.StdErr" value="icepatch_stderr.txt" />
                <property name="Ice.StdOut" value="icepatch_stdout.txt" />
                <property name="Ice.Trace.Admin.Logger" value="1" />
                <property name="Ice.Trace.Admin.Properties" value="1" />
                <property name="Ice.Trace.Locator" value="1" />
                <property name="Ice.Trace.Network" value="1" />
                <property name="Ice.Trace.Protocol" value="1" />
                <property name="Ice.Trace.Retry" value="1" />
                <property name="Ice.Trace.Slicing" value="1" />
                <property name="Ice.Trace.ThreadPool" value="1" />
            </server>
        </server-template>

I have no idea which file or directory does it complain about. I have only used relative paths and the grid is started in the same directory as where the IcePatch2 directory is.

Do you guys have any inputs? I probably missed something obvious.

    Hi,

    The icegridnode generated a configuration file in the directory pointed by the IceGrid node data path specified with the IceGrid.Node.Data property. This configuration file is then provided to the activated server with --Ice.Config=<path>. For some reasons, it looks like the configuration file gets removed before the server is being started? What is the exact path of the file which isn't found?

    Cheers,
    Benoit.

    Hi Benoit,

    So the generated config file is, I would say, in the right place:
    /Users/username/devgrid/node1/servers/IceGrid-Dev.IcePatch2/config/config
    However I just realized, that within that config, the IcePatch2.Directory=serverData refers to its local folder relative to the pwd of the activation of the server.

    I tried the following:
    1. Moved the complete folder structure to a /Users/grid/ root folder and kept the reference to the IcePatch2.Directory relative: IcePatch2.Directory=serverData
    2. wiped the registry and the nodes clean
    3. started grid, started nodes, added application and it patched initially

    After doing some investigation turns out I had a folder on the path with a comma and a space in it, and the comma was causing the activation of the IcePatch2 server to result in a failure. The error message which helped to figure it out:

    -- 06/03/16 17:35:10.746 icegridnode: Activator: activating server `IceGrid-Dev.IcePatch2'
icepatch2server: error: createProperties failed: PropertiesI.cpp:404: Ice::FileException:
file exception: No such file or directory
path: /Users/username/foldernameWith 
-- 06/03/16 17:35:10.755 icegridnode: Activator: detected termination of server `IceGrid-Dev.IcePatch2'
   exit code = 1

    Sorry for the confusion. Simply the grid was embedded way too deep in a complicated path.

    Kind regards,
    Janos
