I have a similar problem when running "bosh create-env" on Windows:

Seems to be a problem in the github.com/cloudfoundry/bosh-utils/fileutil library...

[dpb587-pivotal]

I wonder if we're forgetting to close the original file before attempting to move - Windows seems particularly picky about that.

[Fydon]

I've probably already fixed this issue, but just waiting for a response to my pull requests here and here.

[bingosummer]

@Fydon
I patched the bosh cli with your two PRs and built a private version using GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64 go build in linux.
But I still got another error when running bosh create-env.

Did you hit the above error before?

[Fydon]

@bingosummer That error is because the folder containing tar.exe isn't in your PATH environment variable. If you want to use the tar that comes with Git for Windows (usr\bin folder off the installation) then you'll also need also need this pull request, otherwise I'm told that the BSD tar from bosh-agent works without the pull request. I've recommended the use of a golang library, e.g. CloudFoundry's archiver, instead of an external dependency, but nothing has come of that yet.

[bingosummer]

Thanks @Fydon . The BSD tar works for me. I put the BSD tar in my PATH environment. Is it the correct way?

But I got another error about UseIsolatedEnv. Since the value is hardcoded, so I think the bosh create-env is not supported in Windows for now, even if the issues of renaming issues and tar are resolved. How do you think?

@bingosummer Yes I started looking into that problem, but then thought I'd try get bosh-virtualbox-cpi-release working on Windows, as I'm currently using bosh-lite via vagrant, which I understand is no longer maintained. I plan to get back to looking into this soon and will update this if I get further.

Any workaround or fix?

[Fydon]

@sumkincpp The last release was created 14 days ago, so you either need to built it yourself or wait for the version after 2.0.33 for add-blobs to work. If we extend this issue to include problems with create-env then it is still open, as compilation doesn't work yet, but rename will work with the next release.

[sumkincpp]

There is a tonights artifact for 2.0.34 bosh-cli-2.0.34-windows-amd64.exe, I'll give a try and report back.

[sumkincpp]

So there is an issue with tar after that, tar.exe is present in $PATH

[Fydon]

@sumkincpp Thank you for letting me know about the new build.

I think you need to apply my pull request in a custom build of bosh-cli to get that tar to work, otherwise use BSD tar.

create-env will fail when it reaches the compilation phase, but most other commands should now work. Also I'm not aware of the Virtualbox CPI supporting Windows yet, if that what you are trying.

[Fydon]

@sumkincpp I'm still working on it, but this patch should get you through the compile phase, which is basically using Powershell instead of bash, dropping PATH and Args and setting UseIsolatedEnv to false for Windows builds. You'll need to have the required build tools in your PATH to complete the compile. I'll need to look the change's impact on tests, before I create a pull request.

[Fydon]

Sorry my last suggestion was foolish, however now I have managed to get compiling working. I don't know if it will work for all CPIs, but I can get bosh-virtualbox-cpi to compile, create VMs and attach disks, but currently it is still failing before it completes the create-env command. You can see the changes to bosh-cli on this branch, although I'll split those changes into different branches and create separate pull requests for some of the changes. The reason that I don't think that all the changes should be applied is because I don't think that using bash scripts built for Linux should be used on Windows. There different bash implementations on Windows, e.g. MSYS, Cygwin and Windows Subsystems for Linux, and each of those handling things differently to each other as well as being different to typical Linux distributions. For example they take different approaches as to how to reference the location of a file on a specific drive.

Currently my branch is using the MSYS bash that comes with git for Windows, as I was having problems when using Windows Subsystems for Linux.

[saedalavinia]

@Fydon.
Any news on getting bosh create-env to work ? :D
I am currently using:
version 2.0.42-3b55fdd-2017-10-10T00:00:28Z

and still can't get passed the UseIsolatedEnv issue. But you said there are still issues on the last branch you have ?

[Fydon]

@saedalav Sorry I've been busy recently so not had much spare time to work on this. I've now reopened the above pull request with the changes that are required to help compiling work. Compiling and running the CPI may require Linux or even Ubuntu specific commands, but I am able to compile bosh-virtualbox-cpi with the pull request's changes.

[dawg2k]

Hi,
I am also getting the same error. I am using cygwin on windows 7.

[mfine30]

It seems like this issue is diverging into another conversation about create-env. Since the original add-blob conversation seems to be resolved, I'm going to close this issue.

If you want to continue to discuss the create-env concerns, please open a new issue with later versions of the bosh-cli.
