bootimage runner run-args about bootimage HOT 9 CLOSED

Two ideas:

• Try run-args = ["-L", "~/Code/QEMU/pc-bios"] to pass it as two string parameters instead of one.
• Try to replace the ~ with your /home/xxx directory (normally your shell does this, but we don't invoke it in a shell).

Thanks for the ideas, I tried both at the same time.

[package.metadata.bootimage]
run-args = ["-L", "/Users/XXX/Code/QEMU/pc-bios"]

However, the error still exists:

Running: qemu-system-x86_64 -drive format=raw,file=target/minikernel/debug/bootimage-minikernel.bin -L /Users/XXX/Code/QEMU/pc-bios
Error: Failed to execute "qemu-system-x86_64" "-drive" "format=raw,file=target/minikernel/debug/bootimage-minikernel.bin" "-L" "/Users/XXX/Code/QEMU/pc-bios": No such file or directory (os error 2)

from bootimage.

Have you tried executing the printed run command manually:

qemu-system-x86_64 -drive format=raw,file=target/minikernel/debug/bootimage-minikernel.bin -L /Users/XXX/Code/QEMU/pc-bios

Maybe directly invoking QEMU gives a better error message.

The error message sounds like either the path to your pc-bios or the path to your bootimage-minikernel.bin are wrong. Could you check whether both files exist at the printed locations?

from bootimage.

Directly executing this command would successfully invoke the qemu, and no errors in qemu or shell pops out.

These two paths indeed exist. I am also really confused about this.

That's strange. Could you also try it with the quotes:

"qemu-system-x86_64" "-drive" "format=raw,file=target/minikernel/debug/bootimage-minikernel.bin" "-L" "/Users/XXX/Code/QEMU/pc-bios"

from bootimage.

Sorry for the late reply

Yes, executing with quotes can invoke qemu successfully.

from bootimage.

Ah, I think I interpreted the error message wrong. The "No such file or directory" might refer to the QEMU executable. Are you sure that it's in your PATH?

from bootimage.

Oh, after I change the qemu path in PATH variable to be the absolute path instead of "~/XXX", it works! Thank you!

from bootimage.

Perfect!
