Description

With help from I found out the installer fails if TMP and/or TMPDIR is set to a directory not writable by user other than root.

  1. foreman-rake db:migrate db:seed
    mktemp: failed to create file via template ‘/root/.local/tmp/tmp.XXXXXXXXXX’: Permission denied
    /usr/bin/tfm-rake: line 6: $TMP: ambiguous redirect
    /usr/bin/tfm-rake: line 8: $TMP: ambiguous redirect
    /usr/bin/tfm-rake: line 8: $TMP: ambiguous redirect
    bash: no job control in this shell

after unsetting TMP and TMPDIR and running the installer again, the installation finishes succesfully.

I'd also like to mention that the installer should have stopped when the db setup failed. It simply continued and made me search for something unrelated.

I suspect this is actually an issue in foreman-rake which is a bash script. I suspect that it exits with code 0 so the installer continues.
