Creating tc server instance in STS

[msmithi33]

I'm having the same issue. Has anyone found a solution?

Hey!

Can you try to run STS in admin mode to see if that solves the problem in your case?
Otherwise, can you try to create an instance from the command line to see if that works?

Thanks,
Martin

The problem went away but I'm not sure what I did in the end that fixed it. Might have been updating perms on all the folders, but at this point I've completely re-installed STS and tcServer. Now my problem is this Deployment-Assembly-going-haywire

Glad to hear that the issue with the tc Server is gone. Thanks for letting us know!

I was having the exact same issue. Played with the permissions on both the folders and the shortcut that starts the application, but to no avail.

I did however find something that may be of interest. I was trying to create a new server using the wizard and I was selecting the following templates:

base
diagnostics
insight

Taking diagnostics out of the mix allowed the server to be created. Selecting just base, or just insight worked as well, but selecting just diagnostics and you get the same error.

Hey!

Good find with the "diagnostics" template. It looks like it requires certain properties that we don't support yet from the wizard. If I try to create the instance from the command line, it tells me:

create failed. A value for the property 'diagnostics.jdbc.driverClassName' is required but was not provided. A value can be provided using --property diagnostics.jdbc.driverClassName=<value>

So it looks like you need to create a diagnostics template from the command line.

Here is a JIRA issue to improve the wizard for those kinds of templates:

The same problem for me with the newest STS (downloaded today). Even starting with admin rights didn't help. :-(

Hey!

What error exactly? Can you provide some more details here? That would be great!

error1: Project facet grails.app has not been defined. It is used in plugin com.vmware.vfabric.ide.eclipse.tcserver.core.
error2: Error creating server instance. Check access permission for the directory C:/Dev/sts-3.1.0_64/springsource/vfabric-tc-server-developer-2.7.2.RELEASE and its files and subdirectories.

Don't know if these errors are related, but the apear together during the "create tc server instance" action.

Hey!

Error 1 is "expected behavior", since the tc server integration supports Grails apps in case you have the Grails tooling installed as well. If not, this message is being generated.

Error 2 sounds more relevant to the problem we are seeing. It looks like there is a problem while creating the instance. Are you able to create the instance from the command line?
