Question

When i try to execute to execute this line

I get an error from my Lib folder saying that one of the jars isnt working properly.

../Demo_Automatisation/lib/SparseBitSet-1.2.jar: line 1: $'PK\003\004': command not found
../Demo_Automatisation/lib/SparseBitSet-1.2.jar: line 2: $'ؔ\220L': command not found

+ java org.testng.TestNG ../Demo_Automatisation/testng.xml
Error: Could not find or load main class org.testng.TestNG
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.testng.TestNG

I dont know if there is a probleme with the jar files since it works fine in Windows but in linux it doesnt work.

This is my.sh file:

export projectLocation=../Demo_Automatisation
cd $projectLocation
export CLASSPATH=$projectLocation/bin;$projectLocation/lib/*
java org.testng.TestNG $projectLocation/testng.xml

I just coppied what i found on the internet since i had a.bat file at first since i was using Windows does transferring from Windows to linux requieres that i do something to my jar files?

Answer 1

The issue is that the ; in your classpath definition actually separates two commands so the $projectLocation/lib/* is interpreted as a new command, expands to the name of the jar file and the shell tries to execute the jar file as a shell script (which fails miserably). On Linux the separator for classpaths is : and not ; (almost certainly for exactly this reason).

In other words: instead of

export CLASSPATH=$projectLocation/bin;$projectLocation/lib/*

you need

export CLASSPATH=$projectLocation/bin:$projectLocation/lib/*

As a bonus suggestion: the /* in the CLASSPATH should be interpreted by Java and not the shell, so it's better to actually quote the value:

export CLASSPATH="$projectLocation/bin:$projectLocation/lib/*"

Answer 2

The projectLocation is a relative path which you reuse after changing the working directory. Try to use an absolute path, maybe it gets fixed that way.
