Summary: kafka-run-class.sh doesn't check for empty $CLASSPATH Key: KAFKA-5507 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-5507 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Bug Components: tools Affects Versions: 0.10.2.1 Environment: Linux Reporter: Evgeny Veretennikov Assignee: Evgeny Veretennikov Priority: Minor Steps to reproduce problem: 1. Clone Kafka repo using {{git clone}}. 2. Run some Bash-script, which invokes {{kafka-run-class.sh}} (without building project beforehand). For example: {{$ ./bin/zookeeper-server-start.sh config/zookeeper.properties Error: Could not find or load main class config.zookeeper.properties}} Error is misleading. This happens, because {{kafka-run-class.sh}} tries to run this command: {{java ...a lot of JVM options... -cp org.apache.zookeeper.server.quorum.QuorumPeerMain config/zookeeper.properties}} Script doesn't check for empty $CLASSPATH variable. It's empty, because we didn't build project. {{kafka-run-class.bat}} script for Windows checks for it: {{IF ["%CLASSPATH%"] EQU [""] ( echo Classpath is empty. Please build the project first e.g. by running 'gradlew jarAll' EXIT /B 2 )}} I think, we should add similar check to Bash-script, and show similar error. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
