Errors

Problem

The action “Run Shell Script” encountered an error: “JavaVM: Failed to load JVM: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_45.jdk/Contents/Home/lib/libserver.dylib
JavaVM FATAL: Failed to load the jvm library.”

The file does not exist.

Solution

Notice in env|sort

JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_45.jdk/Contents/Home

Notice

java -version

produces

java version "1.8.0_45"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_45-b14)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.45-b02, mixed mode)

which suggests java is installed properly.

cd /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_45.jdk/Contents/Home/lib
sudo ln -s ../jre/lib/server/libjvm.dylib libserver.dylib
