FileBot

Posted: **05 Oct 2018, 02:16**

I had FileBot working at one point but now it has totally given up on me. I tried rclone and google-drive-ocamlfuse but both are providing the same results.

Code: Select all

sh: 0: getcwd() failed: No such file or directory
Oct 04, 2018 9:08:21 PM java.util.prefs.FileSystemPreferences$6 run
WARNING: Prefs file removed in background /root/.java/.userPrefs/prefs.xml

When I do `filebot --version` within the mounted directory inside a sub-directory, I get the following:

Code: Select all

<E> fish: getcwd() failed with errno 2/No such file or directory
Error occurred during initialization of VM
java.lang.Error: Properties init: Could not determine current working directory.
	at java.lang.System.initProperties(java.base/Native Method)
	at java.lang.System.initPhase1(java.base/Unknown Source)

<E> fish: getcwd() failed with errno 2/No such file or directory

Oddly, this does not happen in the parent directory of the mounted drive.

Code: Select all

FileBot 4.8.2 (r5789) / Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 10.0.2 / Linux 4.15.0-36-generic (amd64)

Any ideas? I've been troubleshooting this for hours.

getcwd() refers to a Unix syscall that should yield the current working directory. It's like you're cding into a folder that doesn't exist, and then calling filebot from there, which then throws lots of strange errors because it's sort of in an impossible situation. This is very strange, and has little to do with FileBot specifically, and more with your OS on a lower level.

Have you tried cding into your normal user home folder, and then calling filebot from there?

A Google search for java.lang.Error: Properties init: Could not determine current working directory will probably give you a lot of things you could try to work around or fix this issue on your system.

Yeap. Same result.

Yeah, that's what I've been doing. I'll keep trying.

Yeah, that's what I figured too.
