cf dev start fails with no apparent reason

[retgits]

After downloading and installing the latest versions of cf and pcfdev, running the command cf dev start fails for no apparent reason. It looks similar to the other issues mentioned, but in this case it simply doesn't do anything.

hi @retgits - we are aware of the issue are are actively working on resolving it. I will update this thread when I have more details.

This has been resolved in Release v0.30.0

Can I get the PCF1.11.0-osx executable or do I have to build it myself?

[cassidd]

Forget that - I see it. Thanks.

pcfdev continue stuck on 'waiting for services to start' executing cf dev start for that infraestructure:

• Ubuntu 16.04 64 bits (8Gb), sufficient hard disk.
• Virtual Box 5.2.2
• pcfdev 0.30.0 + PCF1.11.0-linux from pcfdev-v0.549 ova file

What is the pcfdev without error??

[sclevine]

1. Make sure you aren't running in another nested VM
2. Use the latest Virtualbox 5.1.x release, instead of 5.2.2

[masalinas]

1. I'm running under native Linux Ubuntu 16.04 version 64Bits with 8GB of RAM
2. Is impossible for me, downgrade to Virtualbox 5.1.X I have many VMs and I don't want to cry if finally these VMs not start after downgrade. So:

1. Exist a bug of the 0.30 PCF Dev with this VirtualBox version?.
2. Exist other solution and use the VirtualBox 5.2.x?.
3. Where are the logs created from cf to watch the problem?

Regards

We have no plans to support Virtualbox 5.2.x. This version of PCF Dev will soon be deprecated in favor of a PAS extension that will use CF Dev: https://github.com/cloudfoundry-incubator/cfdev

You can access the VM with cf dev ssh, and look at logs in /var/vcap/logs and /var/pcfdev`.

Ok Bad notice for me and my Linux. The problem is that the new cfdev only support macOS at this time, again bad notice for my Linux. I will install PCF Dev on my mac laptop with VirtualBox 5.0.3
