The org.apache.felix.gogo.commands missing requirement while installing a featue

I'm using Karaf 4.2.16. I want to install a feature: karaf@mst-ica()> feature:install my_feature.config and get the following error:

Unable to resolve root: 
    missing requirement [root] osgi.identity; 
    osgi.identity=my_feature.config; 
    type=karaf.feature; 
    version="[4.0.0.SNAPSHOT,4.0.0.SNAPSHOT]"; 
    filter:="(&(osgi.identity=my_feature.config)(type=karaf.feature)(version>=4.0.0.SNAPSHOT)(version<=4.0.0.SNAPSHOT))"

        ]
    ]

I'm using Equinox as a system framework:

karaf@mst-ica()> system:framework
Current OSGi framework is equinox

However, it was not a problem with Karaf 2.2.0 and my feature I'm trying to install was working fine.

What can I do to have Felix gogo commands available? Do I need to install a specific feature first?

Solution

  • The problem was fixed. As mentioned in Update Notes (from 2.x to 3.x), org.apache.felix.gogo.commands was replaced with org.apache.karaf.shell.commands.

    In term of development, the previously shell anotations provided by the org.apache.felix.gogo.commands* package (@Command, @Argument, etc) are now deprecated. Apache Karaf 3.0.0 still supports these annotations, but we encourage the users to upgrade to the new package org.apache.karaf.shell.commands.

    I have changed my pom file and Java imports and rebuilt the feature. Also, I have installed shell-compat using karaf@mst-ica()> feature:install shell-compat.

    After all of that had been done, I was able to install my feature with no errors.
