Hi,

I can confirm. The 2.19 release candidate with jetty-server-9.4.36.v20210114.jar starts but the nightly main with jetty-server-9.4.38.v20210224.jar does not.

Aihe: [Geoserver-devel] RELEASE BLOCKER: bin package not starting any more?

Hi,

I’m trying out the bin package from the main branch, it does not seem to be working any more:

bin/startup.sh
GEOSERVER_HOME environment variable not found, using current
directory. If not set then running this script from other
directories will not work in the future.
GEOSERVER DATA DIR is /tmp/geoserver/data_dir
ERROR : Nothing to start, exiting …

Usage: java -jar $JETTY_HOME/start.jar [options] [properties] [configs]
java -jar $JETTY_HOME/start.jar --help # for more information

GeoServer 2.19.x nightly builds are behaving the same, however, 2.18.x is working fine.

If I had to guess, it’s due to the different Jetty version:

  • On 2.18.x, <jetty.version>9.4.18.v20190429</jetty.version>
  • On main and 2.19.x, <jetty.version>9.4.38.v20210224</jetty.version>

Can anyone confirm the same behavior?

Cheers

Andrea

I tried 9.4.37 - it also does not start.

There is no obvious entry in the changelog indicating anything to do with startup.

Experimenting with changing our script to show pass in options like --help gives a few ideas for debugging.

The --list-config option was the most useful, however it shows our -D options like GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR not being passed in.

And the compare from 9.4.36 to 9.4.37 (
https://github.com/eclipse/jetty.project/compare/jetty-9.4.36.v20210114…jetty-9.4.37.v20210219) is useless as all the files changed headers for 2021.

The recommended layout for jetty has changed a bit since we last made our bin release, you can now set up a “base” directory to isolate any extensions from updates to the core jetty distribution.

Downloading jetty 9.4.38 and setting this up by hand (dropping a geoserver folder into base/webapps showed geoserver can run in 9.4.38 which is something I suppose.

I would recommend rolling back to 9.3.36 for this release as a quick fix is not apparent for this one.

I’ve confirmed locally that reverting fixes the issue. Created the two revert PRs
