Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/issues/1893

Hi,

I just noticed (but I really don't know where it started or whether I am doing something wrong) that command_validate.sh function gets an empty string for "appid" variable, which should be provided from _default.cfg file as far as I can see.

the main command is:
${unbuffer} ./steamcmd.sh +login "${steamuser}" "${steampass}" +force_install_dir "${serverfiles}" +app_update "${appid}" ${branch} validate +quit | tee -a "${lgsmlog}"

which debugging gets:
./steamcmd.sh +login myuser mypassword +force_install_dir /home/steamsrv/arma3/serverfiles +app_update '' validate +quit
I tried too with my insurgency server and I get the same result.
So the validation is never done for the desired appid.

Best regards,
Draakuns.

Hi,

Rule N°1) Read rules

https://linuxgsm.com/support/#guide

I see no reason why this would be a global LinuxGSM issue, so closing for now.

Well, I don't understand your statement, as I am trying to issue a problem in your global bash scripts. If I explain that the appid is lost somewhere in the execution of both servers (arma3 and insurgency), then the problem should rely on the LGSM layer.
I will add the info about OS whenever possible.

Better. Trying to reproduce.

Any reason why you posted the issue manually over using postdetails command?

This is to blame.
github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM@26b717b0f8 (diff-44346d4839)
Not sure why it's here yet but that's the issue. It rewrites appid with an unset variable.

Fixed.

Thanks a lot for sharing your details after my 1st post and congrats for not being discouraged.
Please update your linuxgsm with ./gameserver ul to check if it resolved the issue for you as well.

Cheers 🍻

Hey!

I did the explanation manually instead of PD because it felt more clear, but maybe it wasnt :)

To me, it seems it was a separate function beeing feeded arguments from commandline, and at some point it was merged into your main... Who knows?
Also, IMO there's some guilt to blame to steamcmd for not parsing well things, or complaining about the lack of appid on their validation...

It is fixed on both servers I have ;)

Happy to hear that it has been fixed so quickly, thanks!

Dont worry about the 1st post... I can understand the monster that sometimes approaches in the form of an issue from inexpert hands... Its always good to have guidelines for all of us.

Thanks for the feedback! Glad it was just that to fix :p

I believe it was just a programming mistake because I've never seen the appid being passed as a function argument. Maybe it was in the process of making a universal installer, which is an idea we had for some time now.

Yes, we have so many unhelpful posts with isolated issues that it's sometimes harder to notice when it's a global one at first glance. When experiencing a bug, postdetails is the bare minimum info to provide, and you went further with dev-debug outputs which gained me some time: with functions order, we know where to look, with the log I was able to see that appid was set to an empty var at some point :)
