Unable to generate a licence #19

tam481 · 2019-05-25T19:27:03Z

Hello,
When running /run.sh /opt/BitBetter/.keys/cert.pfx user aa@bb.com aa@bb.com 12345679
I get the error message at the bottom: (Similar to issue #4)

I followed the instructions and installed dotnet add package Newtonsoft.Json --version 11.0.0 before running the build.sh

What am I doing wrong?

What version of the dotnet-sdk did you install? It seems like it wants version 12.0.0 of Newtonsoft.Json.

tam481 · 2019-05-25T22:52:16Z

I installed "dotnet-sdk-2.1"

tam481 · 2019-05-25T22:54:15Z

running (dotnet --version)
Returns (2.1.700)

JeffAlyanak · 2019-05-26T12:35:42Z

And just to confirm, you ran the dotnet add package Newtonsoft.Json --version 11.0.0 command from within the /src/licenseGen/ directory before running the build script for the license generator?

Perhaps there's something different about your dotnet install or your environment that is causing it to look for version 12.0.0. You can try just adding that package and rebuilding.

tam481 · 2019-05-26T13:20:31Z

I did exactly as per your documentation.
I ran dotnet add package Newtonsoft.Json --version 11.0.0 inside both /src/licenseGen and /src/bitBetter

tam481 · 2019-05-26T13:21:15Z

This morning I tried dotnet add package Newtonsoft.Json --version 12.0.0 to no avail

JeffAlyanak · 2019-05-26T13:28:12Z

Can you please re-run the src/licenseGen/build.sh and post what it returns to the command line? Please use a multi-line code comment to keep it as readable as possible.

Can you also confirm the contents of your src/licenseGen/licenseGen.csproj file.

tam481 · 2019-05-26T13:57:28Z

Have you been following all of the steps as the root user? I wouldn't recommend that for security and environment reasons.

We've seen users in the past having issues getting the dotnet builds and the docker containers working correctly due to the way that dotnet and docker set environment variables.

In the past, those issues have been solved by using a regular, unprivileged user instead.

tam481 · 2019-05-26T14:17:27Z

oh OK. I thought I wouldn't be able to execute the commands as a standard user. Wouldn't doing sudo ./build.sh be the same as running it as root?

tam481 · 2019-05-26T14:35:23Z

I can't run ./build.sh or the dotnet add package Newtonsoft.Json --version 11.0.0 without sudo

I'm I doing this all wrong?

JeffAlyanak · 2019-05-26T14:58:09Z

You shouldn't have to run with sudo at all for anything other than installing the prerequisites.

If you followed the recommended steps when installing docker, you would have added an unprivileged user to the docker usergroup with a command like sudo usermod -aG docker someuser and you'd have used sudo to install any required packages (dotnet sdk) but aside from that nothing needs sudo or root access.

As a rule of thumb, you should never run anything with root that doesn't require root.

The reason you can't run the dotnet command is probably because the BitBetter directory and the files inside are owned by root now. You should chown those to the correct user or git clone them as an unprivileged user and then go through those instructions again without using the root user.

tam481 · 2019-05-26T16:28:40Z

OK. Just recreated everything and I'm doing things as my non-privileged user "user"

Everything is installed in /opt/
user owns bwdata and BitBetter and the bitwarden.sh scripts
It is also a member of the docker group and I've managed to get Bitwarden started

I'm still getting the same error message though!

I've changed details such as user, email and GUID before posting but the actual command has the correct ones.

What else can I do now?

JeffAlyanak · 2019-05-26T21:15:56Z

For now I've been unable to recreate this issue, trying clean installs on fresh Debian 9 and Ubuntu 19.04 systems.

What operating system and OS version are you attempting this install on?

Using the most recent version of BitBetter (commit 15371c3), the default version that installs with the dotnet-sdk-2.1 (oddly enough, this is 2.2.300) and the most recent version of Bitwarden I can't replicate the issue. I've also tried using the version of the dotnet-sdk that you have (2.1.700), but still can't replicate the issue.

Perhaps you can try manually installing a different version of the dotnet-sdk. I believe that Microsoft simply provides package names for different versions, so you can try installing dotnet-sdk-2.2.

Remember that you have to rebuild the license generator again after installing a new version of dotnet-sdk and updating the dotnet packages with dotnet add package Newtonsoft.Json --version 11.0.0.

tam481 · 2019-05-26T21:47:53Z

Thanks @JeffAlyanak
I am running a clean version of Debian 9

user@debian:~$ cat /etc/*-release
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch)"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="9"
VERSION="9 (stretch)"
ID=debian
HOME_URL="https://www.debian.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://www.debian.org/support"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.debian.org/"
user@debian:~$ cat /proc/version
Linux version 4.9.0-9-amd64 (debian-kernel@lists.debian.org) (gcc version 6.3.0 20170516 (Debian 6.3.0-18+deb9u1) ) #1 SMP Debian 4.9.168-1+deb9u2 (2019-05-13)

Followed the instructions on the main page for BitBetter and managed to build the Docker images for both BitBetter and Bitwarden with no issues other than the warning about the version being 11.0.1 instead of 11.0.0 and that's all.

Also, with regards to the certificate, this is the self-signed one described under "Note: Manually generating Certificate & Key" right?

I even searched all the files inside licenceGen for 12.0.0 and could not find any reference. All references I found are for version 11.0.0 as expected.

I'm doing this on a virtual machine and I've reverted to the snapshot that only has the minimum Debian installation plus unzip and sudo and nothing else.

I will try a different version of dotnet and see.

tam481 · 2019-05-26T23:11:50Z

I've not had much luck with the commit you referred to above (git clone https://github.com/jakeswenson/BitBetter.git). This is the one right?

Not much luck with dotnet2.2 either :-(

Edit: removed references to new issue #20 which is now closed.

JeffAlyanak · 2019-05-28T00:33:15Z

Since your issue with bitbetter/identity has been resolved by rebuilding can you try deleting and rebuilding the license gen and posting the resulting output below if that does not solve the issue?

tam481 · 2019-05-28T14:29:23Z

Tried again multiple times last night and in a completely new environment (lab at work) with a proper certificate and everything. Still getting the same error message!

I cannot for the life of me figure out where the reference to 12.0.0.0 is!

tam481 · 2019-05-28T19:19:07Z

Hello mate. I cracked it. I ran dotnet add package Newtonsoft.Json --version 12.0.2 then dotnet add package Newtonsoft.Json --version 12.0.1

Then attempted to generate a licence and it generated one.

JeffAlyanak · 2019-05-29T01:28:46Z

I've played around a bit with this tonight and I can't replicate the same issues that you had. For now I'm just going to file this under Unsolved Mysteries and close it as I'm hoping to automate the dotnet setup anyway.

DB-CL · 2019-06-03T13:57:47Z

I had the exact same issue on a fresh debian 9 install. I cannot provide more informations than @tam481 but his solution is working.

JeffAlyanak · 2019-06-03T14:11:32Z

Hey @DB-CL, this issue has been fixed in the upcoming Interactive Mode release ( #23 ). It's still awaiting review and approval from another contributor before it hits the master branch, but it does appear to address this issue with newer versions of the dotnet-sdk.

JeffAlyanak · 2019-06-05T18:30:01Z

The version of Newtonsoft in the newest commit has been bumped and should work with a wider variety of systems and versions of dotnet-sdk now.

The changes have merged to the master branch with PR #23.

Theoretically, you shouldn't even need to run the dotnet add package commands.
