Vernalis nodes on KNIME server on Azure

DhrStakker · January 18, 2021, 10:32am

LS,

Using a KNIME server on Azure ( Version: 4.10.4.0128-209260130)
I’m trying to install the Vernalis nodes via the commandline interface using the following command:

/opt/knime/knime-latest/knime -application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director -nosplash
-consolelog -r http://update.knime.com/community-contributions/trusted/4.3 -i com.vernalis.knime.feature.group -d /opt/knime/knime-latest

I’ve tried to change the update sites to different versions, different extensions identifiers and so on. this is the response I get:

!ENTRY org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director.app 4 0 2021-01-14 14:01:55.499
!MESSAGE The installable unit com.vernalis.knime.feature.group has not been found.

Can someone from KNIME or Vernalis assist me?

Thanks in advance!

Jasper

Hi Jasper,

Just to make sure, have you attempted with the “http://update.knime.com/community-contributions/trusted/4.1” update site as the -i parameter? If you are using 4.10.4 you will want to use the 4.1 update sites.

Thanks,
Zack

Hé Zack,

Thanks for checking in! I’ve tried the 4.1 update sites.

Cheers,

Jasper

Hi Jasper,

Can you try adding the http://update.knime.com/analytics-platform/4.1 site as well as the community site to the command?

Also, would you mind posting the full output of the messages after you run the command again, not just the part about the vernalis node?

Thanks,
Zack

Hi @DhrStakker

One comment: make sure you are using the user who made the installation to install or upgrade any extensions. From the output, it seems that you are using the root user – this could lead to some problems. It is good practice to keep using the installation owner whenever you upgrade/install something on the server.

For the identifier of the extension, can you try com.vernalis.knime.feature.feature.group instead of com.vernalis.knime.feature.group

I have just made a minor update to the Vernalis nodes - could you try again now? The new version should be 1.28.1.

Thanks

Steve

This ended up being the solution for anyone who has a similar problem in the future
