ISSUE: Unable to extract exercises

Leo Leppänen edited this page Jan 25, 2016 · 2 revisions

Description

TMC downloads the exercises but shows a warning about being unable to extract them. No exercises show up in Netbeans.

Cause

Multiple possibilities.

Full quota

User has used up all of his/her quota. TMC ends up creating 0-byte archives that naturally fail to extract.

Solve by free up disk space. Natural targets on UH computers include old, already submitted TMC exercises, large videos etc.

No JDK

The user has not installed JDK.

Solve by installing JDK and then reinstalling Netbeans. Reintalling Netbeans can be avoided by editing netbeans.conf as specified belong in Netbeans unaware of JDK.

Netbeans unaware of JDK

The user installed JDK after Netbeans.

Solve by reinstalling Netbeans or editing netbeans.conf so that it points to the correct file. For TMCBeans, netbeans.conf is in ~/.tmcbeans and for normal Netbeans users it is either in ${nb-install}/etc/netbeans.conf (global config file) or ${userdir}/etc/netbeans.conf (user-specific config file).

Solving

Cause dependent, see above.
