Lombok: [BUG] Installer not working with Redhat CodeReady Studio

Created on 11 Jul 2019 · 13Comments · Source: projectlombok/lombok

Describe the bug
I'm unable to install Lombok using the UI (see https://github.com/rzwitserloot/lombok/issues/2175) so I'm trying using the command line java -jar lombok.jar install /home/anton/devstudio/studio/devstudio

Actual behavior

WARNING: Can't find any IDE at: /home/anton/devstudio/studio/devstudio
WARNING: Zero valid locations found; so nothing was done!

Expected behavior

Expect it to recognize the ide installation directory and do its magic.

Version info (please complete the following information):

Lombok version 1.18.8
Platform - Red Hat CodeReady Studio

Red Hat CodeReady Studio

Version: 12.12.0.GA
Build id: GA-v20190628-0434-B4598
Build date: 20190628-0434

I guess I had identified the problem:
if you look at what the lombook installer does (see below snapshot)
Screenshot from 2019-07-17 11-22-19

it add '-javaagen: lombok.jar' under 'openFile' sector in the file 'eclipse.ini';
unfortunately, there is no such a file named 'eclipse.ini' in the CodeReady Studio; rather, there is a file named 'codereadystudio.ini' in the place.
I checked the contents of the files and assumed that they serve for the same purpose.

so my solution:
1, manually copy 'lombok.jar' to 'codereadystudio/studio/'
2, manually add '-javaagen: lombok.jar' under 'openFile' sector in the 'codereadystudio/studio/codereadystudio.ini'(see below);

/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/bin/java
-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.5.400.v20190515-0925.jar
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.gtk.linux.x86_64_1.1.1000.v20190125-2016
-product

-showsplash
platform\:/base/plugins/com.jboss.devstudio.core
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
-vmargs
-Xms512m
-Xmx1024m
--add-modules=ALL-SYSTEM
[email protected]/workspace
-javaagent:/home/wjz/codereadystudio/studio/lombok.jar

and it works

I'm confirming this, Lombok can't be installed to the new CodeReady studio through UI installer. However, it seems to be supported and it is possible to install using command java -jar lombok-1.18.8.jar install /Applications/codeready/studio/devstudio.app. Pay attention to the ".app" extension, because it won't work without it.

And when a command finishes successfully, output should be:

Lombok installed to: /Applications/codeready/studio/devstudio.app

Then just restart the IDE. My version of CodeReady is 12.11.0.GA.

What @pavlee wrote seems to indicate that the command line is working just peachy, and what's wrong here is that you passed the wrong thing, @magick93.

If you feel that lombok should have been able to figure it out given the argument /home/anton/devstudio/studio/devstudio please provide the precise, fully qualified absolute path to the relevant eclipse.ini file and we can assess whether the eclipse-like finder can be upgraded to find it.

@pavlee I am unclear about what you meant with 'the GUI does not find it'. Are you:

Referring to the fact that on HQ screens on crappy swing implementations (which are unfortunately widespread), the UI of the installer is unusable, or
That lombok's installer UI does not find it, but if you explicitly click the browse button within the GUI it does, and also, the path you installed it is chosen by you and not a default choice (look, we aren't going to do a complete soup to nuts scan of your entire drive, that seems ridiculous).
That lombok's installer does not find it, which is unexpected because you picked the default location; /Applications/codeready/studio/devstudio.app is the obvious location. (Don't you just install it by dragging it there? What's 'codeready' signalling here? Please understand we have zero experience with whatever 'devstudio' is, unfortunately.
Even with the 'browse' button you can't get there somehow.

parked: Without feedback, will be closed if after 2019-07-25

I tried java -jar lombok.jar install /Applications/codeready/studio/devstudio.app but unfortunately got the same result as previously:

I was able to get it to install using java -jar lombok.jar install /home/anton/devstudio/studio.

Thank you for the instructions :-)

The lombok.jar (1.18.8) window is squished on my computer and can't be resized. So I can't push the button to select my Eclipse installation path, like I could on 1.16.6.

jing-zhou's fix worked for Windows 10 also.

@rzwitserloot Do you know if the p2 installer also works for other eclipse-like products?

rspilker on 12 Mar 2020

@rspilker It should.

For all with this project: Can you uninstall lombok if you installed via @jing-zhou's workaround, and then install a new eclipse plugin (via _Help>Install New Software_), pointing at update site:

https://projectlombok.org/p2

and try that?

That's probably going to be how to install lombok from now on :)

Let me know if that works in codeready.

I added jing-zhou's fix to the installer as well. Can anyone test if this one picks it up (the GUI should find it if you put this thing in a common place, and if not, if you use the 'add...' button).

Current edge release has the feature: https://projectlombok.org/download-edge

(Not listed in the changelog; not important enough for an entry I think).

rzwitserloot on 15 Mar 2020

I never could get the installer to work as suggested above. However, I did install via _Help>Install New Software_ and all is working perfectly. Thank you.

Red Hat CodeReady Studio Version: 12.15.0.GA. Manual configuration of lombok does not work, following above works fine.
_Help->Install New Software->https://projectlombok.org/p2_
check the installer and finish. Restart the IDE and it will work.
