Scraper installation failed

Chuck_B

@mitu I installed Retropie about one year ago, downloading the proper image from retropie website on my SDCARD.
Today, before trying to install the Scraper i updated Retropie to 4.3.5 using "RetropieSetup".
Update was completed succesfully.

I'm using a Raspberry PI 3.

@chuck_b Try installing it 'manually' - log in via SSH to the Pi or drop to a command prompt by pressing F4 in EmulationStation. Then execute the commands

cd /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup
sudo ./retropie_packages.sh scraper sources build install

See if any errors pop-up, they should give an indication of what's wrong.

Chuck_B

@mitu there are the errors I get.
Do you have any idea what's wrong?

mitu

@chuck_b Looks like the Golang package could be out of date - can you try updating the golang supplementary package and re-run the scraper installation from the RetroPie-Setup menus ?

Chuck_B

Actually, golang seems not installed.
I've tryed to install but after the installation I had the GOLANG environment variable not setted.

I'm not sure which is the proper way tu install golang

Didn't you try installing it from the retropie setup script ? I don't know if the GOLANG is set after installing it through the script, but the scraper uses it to run.

Chuck_B

I installed golang by terminal.
Is it possibile to install it by retropie setup menu?

you can't call retropie_packages with multiple functions like that - it would have to be done individually, or in this case sudo ./retropie_packages.sh scraper will actually call depends, sources, build, install and configure

Chuck_B

@buzz so, what do you suggest me to do?

BuZz

@chuck_b run sudo ./retropie_packages.sh scraper and post a log, or use retropie-setup and post the error log it mentioned when it fails (using a site like pastebin)

@chuck_b It looks like something is missing in the golang installation you have. The logs cannot find the packages that are included in the golang installation that Retropie installs:


src/github.com/sselph/scraper/ds/mame.go:4:2: cannot find package "archive/zip" in any of:
        /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/scraper/src/github.com/sselph/scraper/vendor/archive/zip (vendor tree)
        /opt/retropie/supplementary/golang/src/archive/zip (from $GOROOT)
        /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/scraper/src/archive/zip (from $GOPATH)

[.. a lot similar errors ]

The default RetroPie golang install is in /opt/retropie/supplementary/golang, which contains these packages:

@chuck_b delete /opt/retropie/supplementary/golang/ and try again.

Bl3nd

I have the scraper and I don't know how to start it while not in emulationstation? Could anyone help with that?

BuZz

@bl3nd Please do not post a support request without first reading and following the advice in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

Start a new topic if wanting help - do not jump into topics with unrelated issues.

Bl3nd

ok, sorry

Chuck_B

@buzz
that's what I get now https://pastebin.com/cRBN6Ktz
what does that mean?

BuZz

@chuck_b that's not a complete log - but I can't see any errors in the part you posted. The part I wanted to see is not included.

Chuck_B

@buzz I've just checked and Scraper got installed successfully.

Deleting /opt/retropie/supplementary/golang/ and running sudo ./retropie_packages.sh scraper was the solution.

Thank you so much
