Cygwin, add-user.sh and error "JBAS015232: No java.io.Console available to interact with user." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: WFLY-130 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-130 Project: WildFly Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Domain Management, Security Affects Versions: 8.0.0.CR1 Environment: Windows XP with CYGWIN_NT-5.1 ... 1.7.17 (0.262/5/3) 2012-10-19 i686 Java HotSpot 1.7.0_11, RE build 1.7.0_11-b21, Client VM build 23.6-b04, mixed mode JBoss AS 7.1.3.Final Reporter: Bernard Giroud Assignee: Darran Lofthouse Labels: as7, management Fix For: 9.0.0.CR1 First of all, the add-user.sh script has an invalid syntax on line 14 which reads: {code} cygwin = true; {code} It should read: {code} cygwin=true; {code} without spaces around the equal sign, Otherwise the truth value is not set, and the conversion back to Windows pathes is not done. Furthermore, the back-conversions should be conditioned to avoid a "cygpath: can't convert empty path" in lines 56-60, especially with JAVA_HOME. Finally, issuance of the following command : bin/add-user.sh u p Gives: {noformat} cygpath: can't convert empty path Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: JBAS015232: Aucune java.io.Console disponible pour interagir avec l'utilisateur. at org.jboss.as.domain.management.security.AddPropertiesUser.<init>(AddPropertiesUser.java:107) at org.jboss.as.domain.management.security.AddPropertiesUser.<init>(AddPropertiesUser.java:118) at org.jboss.as.domain.management.security.AddPropertiesUser.main(AddPropertiesUser.java:166) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknown Source) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknown Source) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Unknown Source) at org.jboss.modules.Module.run(Module.java:270) at org.jboss.modules.Main.main(Main.java:294) {noformat} Issuance of the following command : bin/add-user.sh Gives: {noformat} cygpath: can't convert empty path Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: JBAS015232: Aucune java.io.Console disponible pour interagir avec l'utilisateur. at org.jboss.as.domain.management.security.AddPropertiesUser.<init>(AddPropertiesUser.java:78) at org.jboss.as.domain.management.security.AddPropertiesUser.main(AddPropertiesUser.java:168) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknown Source) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknown Source) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Unknown Source) at org.jboss.modules.Module.run(Module.java:270) at org.jboss.modules.Main.main(Main.java:294) {noformat} Option --silent doesn't make a difference.
