Code for IBM i will not function correctly until the temporary library has been corrected in the settings.

[Fdeuabbh]

Code for i is connected to the server successfully, but when i've got the message
"Code for IBM i will not function correctly until the temporary library has been corrected in the settings." i could not access to the libraries.

Is there any solution ?

Hi @Fdeuabbh ,
click on the Open Settings button and then change these values

You must use a library and an IFS folder your IBM i profile can write into.

Hi ,
I changed this value to my library and i've got the same problem

[sebjulliand]

Please copy/paste your Code for IBM i output after this message appears.

Hi @sebjulliand, im getting same error, but i get no such messages in output like 'RECORD(S) SELECTED.'

i can see that there is a log entry:

Code for IBM i components:
0 (1): Error
1 (1): Error
2 (0): Error
3 (1): Installed

and a few entries like:

/home/myuser: ls -p /QOpenSys/pkgs/bin/
{
    "code": 2,
    "signal": null,
    "stdout": "",
    "stderr": "/QOpenSys/pkgs/bin/ not found"
}

/home/myuser: ls -p /QSYS.lib/myuser.lib/GE*.PGM
{
    "code": 2,
    "signal": null,
    "stdout": "",
    "stderr": "/QSYS.lib/myuser.lib/GE*.PGM not found"
}

I kept the temp lib and ifs path default (ILEDITOR and /tmp) as same settings work somehow on my other iseries system
And when i change them to my lib and ifs folder i get the same error

Hi @kziem ! /QOpenSys/pkgs/bin being not found sounds very concerning 😅

Could you check if it actually exists or not? If it exists, is it accessible to you?

[kziem]

There is no folder /QOpenSys/pkgs on this system 😕
I've got access to all subfolders and files in /QOpenSys

[sebjulliand]

No worries. You won't find its content anywhere else 🥲
This pkgs subfolder contains the open source softwares installed on IBM i. So first, try installing the OSS and yum: https://ibmi-oss-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/yum/README.html
Then make sure bash is installed and it's your default shell. (Check the code for i documation as well as the site linked above)
Once you're all set, Code for i should run just fine!

[kziem]

Thanks for your reply 🙂
Sadly I cannot really install anything on that system, but I found sameish files in /Qopensys/bin folder, can I somehow change config of extension to use that instead?

[sebjulliand]

No, unfortunately you'll be stuck until you can get a friendly sys admin to install these tools for you.

/QOpensys/bin content is a different set of binaries, don't mess with QOpensys' content in any way 😅
