Installing service-connector is failing without any hint


Having cf installed in version: cf version 6.22.2+a95e24c-2016-10-27 and following the steps to install the service-connector plugin from this documentation with the following command:

 cf install-plugin https://swisscom-plugin.scapp.io/linux64/swisscom-plugin

I am getting asked to confirm that I want to install this plugin and when I confirm I am getting:

FEHLGESCHLAGEN
Plug-in-Installation abgebrochen

which translates to 'FAILED - plugin installation cancelled'.

I verified URL, tried it with a downloaded version of the same bin as a local install, I tried to sudo cf install-plugin, I verified that I have an 64bit Ubuntu.

What could be the issue? It's kind of difficult without any hint about the error.


Solution

  • OK, found the answer on my own. It's probably an issue with the cf tool. I was asked in German to confirm whether I want to really install the plugin with this question:

    Möchten Sie das Plug-in https://swisscom-plugin.scapp.io/linux64/swisscom-plugin installieren? (J oder N)
    

    So I confirmed by typing J (for German Ja which means Yes). But obviously the only accepted characters still are Y or N.

    So I created an issue with Cloudfoundry Cli: https://github.com/cloudfoundry/cli/issues/994
