[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-21170) Virtualbox could not be found by CDK adapter

[Rob Stryker (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-21170?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13141490#comment-13141490 ] 

Rob Stryker commented on JBIDE-21170:
-------------------------------------

https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-openshift/pull/852/  - PR to fix this issue. 

The tl;dr is that when eclipse is launched via .app, it has no path environment variable.  In this case, for mac only, we will call out to bash -c "echo $PATH"  to get the full path variable. Since we do this via Runtime.exec() and do not pass in an environment at all, we get a clean pure path from the system to use in the event that eclipse somehow lacks one.  

Later on we can use this path when overriding or adding environment variables and merging it with the existing environment pulled from eclipse.   

Martin has tested this earlier today and verified it fixed his issue.

> After I set up a CDK server adapter and fixed the wrong path to vagrant in the launch config, I then started the server adapter and got this:
> Server CDK Server Adapter at localhost failed to start.

> The provider 'virtualbox' that was requested to back the machine
> 'default' is reporting that it isn't usable on this system. The
> reason is shown below:
> Vagrant could not detect VirtualBox! Make sure VirtualBox is properly installed.
> Vagrant uses the `VBoxManage` binary that ships with VirtualBox, and requires
> this to be available on the PATH. If VirtualBox is installed, please find the
> `VBoxManage` binary and add it to the PATH environmental variable.

> In the command line, VBoxManage is accessible and it is located in /usr/local/bin/ and on my PATH.
> Max suggested I could try to start Eclipse from command line instead of double-clicking in Finder (which is the normal way to do it on Mac) and that helped.
> So for some reason when you start Eclipse using Eclipse.app from Finder, the PATH is incorrect.
