Failed searching manifest (Mac OS X 10.8.5) about luarocks-site HOT 32 CLOSED

It's a bug in luarocks, the error suggests it's trying to load the manifest as a zip but moonrocks serves 404 on zipped manifests so it should skip to the non zipped variant. @hishamhm told me that he fixed this but maybe it snuck out into a release?

from luarocks-site.

@motw, what's your LuaRocks version?

luarocks --version

from luarocks-site.

@hishamhm , it is installed the version.

luarocks --version 
2.1.2

from luarocks-site.

I am experiencing this issue as well, also running luarocks 2.1.2.

from luarocks-site.

I made a fresh install of LR 2.1.2 here in a separate directory and could not reproduce this. The above command line works as expected...

from luarocks-site.

Same as @davidzchen I am using luarocks 2.1.2. Did a fresh install on archlinux. I haven't tried again on osx.

from luarocks-site.

@Eltuerto :

1. Do you have the unzip utility installed?
2. Do you get the exact same error message as the original poster? (No results matching query were found)
3. Do you get the exact same output if you run luarocks install --only-server=http://rocks.moonscript.org moonrocks ?

Thanks!

1. Yes

@Eltuerto, could you email the output of luarocks install --verbose --only-server=http://rocks.moonscript.org moonrocks to [email protected]? Thanks

(edit: or post as a gist and link here)

@hishamhm sorry it took so long :( this is the output of the above command (I run with --local) https://gist.github.com/eltuerto/9588708

I added the output of the curl command used for fetching the manifest since I think that is where the problem lies (the response is not a zip).

from luarocks-site.

Apparently I'm seeing the same issue. (both brew install and build fro download), here's a gist with the verbose output if that helps.

I'll have a closer look at this the upcoming week. I'm planning a new LuaRocks release for early next month and this is a must-fix.

from luarocks-site.

Just fyi, here's another data point. I'm having the same issue: https://gist.github.com/telemachus/fdb0d0da75100c3c7daf.

• OSX 10.8.5
• Lua 5.2.3
• luarocks 2.1.2
• UnZip 5.52

from luarocks-site.

Ok, this is the problem:

https://gist.github.com/telemachus/fdb0d0da75100c3c7daf#file-gistfile1-txt-L14-L18

That curl command should fail, but it returned true. Looks like this is already solved in current git; curl there uses -f to ensure it returns a failure code in case of Error 404. So, 2.2.0beta1 should present no problems.

from luarocks-site.

It is not working for me either. (Windows, LuaRocks 2.2.0beta1)

https://gist.github.com/ignacio/8db4152211cd76f09cf0

EDIT: Nevermind. It is working now. The manifest file (http://rocks.moonscript.org/manifest-5.1.zip) had 0 bytes, but is is downloading normally now.

from luarocks-site.

I'm running into this pretty consistently. It'll fail 5 times in a row and then succeed and then fail on the next rock.

from luarocks-site.

I've narrowed down the problem. Looks like the site is caching a 0 byte manifest zip. Still investigating, disabled the cache in the meantime. Leave a response if it happens again.

Thanks for looking into it. I'll keep my eye on it.

from luarocks-site.

I still get the same error with 2.2.0beta1

from luarocks-site.

Try again, there was an issue with the server that I just fixed.

from luarocks-site.

It only works as root. But maybe it's normal, I'm new to Luarocks and I don't know if it is due to the kind of installation I did some days ago. I installed it via the torch7 script

from luarocks-site.

In my case the problem was here:
...wget: unrecognized option '--no-check-certificate'..

My maverick's wget had no ssl compiled in and wget was selected as default downloader:

--with-downloader)
[ -n "$value" ] || die "Missing value in flag $key."
case "$value" in
wget|curl) LUAROCKS_DOWNLOADER="$value" ;;
*) die "Invalid option: $value. See --help." ;;
esac
LUAROCKS_DOWNLOADER_SET=yes
;;

When I removed wget from OS everything started to work (with curl).

regards,

from luarocks-site.

@kwiatowa26 The configure script tries to use curl first. Is your installation calling ./configure --with-downloader=wget explicitly?

from luarocks-site.

please ignore my citation from configure file - I introduced misconception.
The problem occured durring execution of torch7 installation script:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/torch/ezinstall/master/install-luajit+torch
It seems configure relays on default auto-dectection.

@kwiatowa26 Indeed the issue is related to the Torch script. Is it fixed now?

regards

from luarocks-site.

It seems that right now everything is OK!

from luarocks-site.

I had the same issue with 2.2.0beta1.
However I tracked it down to my ~/.cache/luarocks directory and everything in it being owned by root.
Changing the ownership (with "sudo chown -R myuser:mygroup ~/.cache/luarocks" or similar) fixed it for me.

from luarocks-site.

FWIW, I had the same issue as kwiatowa26, there was an old copy of wget in /usr/local/bin for some reason. Just nuking it with brew link --overwrite wget fixed it.

Running luarocks install with --verbose helped me find this - it's pretty obvious which step is failing once you do that (for anyone new to this thread trying to figure it out).

from luarocks-site.

@andrewwilson, thanks! "sudo chown -R myuser:mygroup ~/.cache/luarocks" fixed the same problem.

I think it would be great to mention about this option in docs: http://torch.ch/docs/getting-started.html#_

from luarocks-site.

closing out old issues

from luarocks-site.

@andrewwilson I run sudo chown -R myuser:mygroup ~/.cache/luarocks and it starts cloning the iTorch, but stop because mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/home/linzichuan/torch/install/lib/luarocks/rocks/itorch/scm-1/bin’: Permission denied
When I use sudo luarocks install itorch, it will come out Error: No results matching query were found.
How should I do? Thanks very much !!!

from luarocks-site.

@LinZichuan fix permissions with chown in /home/linzichuan/torch/install as well.
