Crashing on startup
marcusramberg opened this issue · comments
Hey.
I have a problem with Cilicon crashing on startup. It's probably related to a misconfiguration on my ec2-builder, but the crash makes it hard to tell what goes on.
I've attached it to this ticket, any idea where it's stopping? I've had a very similar config run fine on a local mac. This is with v2.1.0 from github releases.
edit I've built and uploaded cilicon to get symbols, and this is a bit more useful:
Looks like it's crashing in the lease parser because /var/db/dhcpd_leases can't be found. On my builder I see
sudo ls /var/db/dhcpclient/leases
en4.plist en7.plist
but not the /var/db/dhcpd_leases file.
Seems like if you touch this file, it will start getting leases and the vm will start up.
I will add a check to see if the file exists. Thanks for reporting.
Does the provisioner work after starting the VM?
Yeah, although it seems there's some timing issue where ssh connection happens before ssh is available sometimes, leading to a new cycle. I've been experimenting with adding a configurable delay before ssh connect in a fork, could open a PR for that if it's interesting.
I'm gonna release a new version today that should fix issues related to the lease. It will simply create a new VM as long as it fails to get a valid ip

Hitting this too, is there a branch I can test with your changes?
The current main branch already has a fix for the lease parser included, it's just not available in the github release.
The latest release should have fixed this. Closing for now, feel free to re-open if the problem persists.
