ABAP in Eclipse Error When Installing New Software

[ali_suwanda]

Hi Everyone,

Hope you are doing good.

There is an issue. I was installing ABAP Core Development Tools (Developer Edition) version 2.68.2 on Eclipse (Mars 4.5) an error message appeared on my screen :

An error occurred while installing the items

session context was:(profile=epp.package.committers, phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.phases.Install, operand=null --> [R]com.sap.ide.support.feature_root.cocoa.macosx.x86_64 1.13.4, action=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.touchpoint.natives.actions.ChmodAction).

The action chmod failed - file /private/var/folders/bw/qs0xwjk954ggc3y2mmz30r2m0000gn/T/AppTranslocation/E4993515-1888-4E3F-855F-0A57B5B122E9/d/Eclipse.app/Contents/Eclipse/collectSupportInformation.command does not exist

I thought, i could fixed it by update the Eclipse to Neon 1a. I have done that actually but when i was trying to install ABAP Core Development Tools (Developer Edition) version 2.68.2 i got the same error message.

Please, need you help. Thanks a lot!

Hello,

I have the same problem with Eclipse Photon on Ubuntu. And I can't "artificially" create the file "collectSupportInformation.sh" needed because my Eclipse installation is a snap from "Ubuntu Software" and therefore is read-only.

Isn't it ridiculous that you cannot install ADT simply because of this "data collector" file missing (missing Eclipse plugin) ? Could the installation script of ADT skip this if the file is not present ?

Here is the detailed error message :

An error occurred while installing the items
session context was:(profile=epp.package.java, phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.phases.Install, operand=null --> [R]com.sap.ide.support.feature_root.gtk.linux.x86_64 1.14.1, action=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.touchpoint.natives.actions.ChmodAction).
The action chmod failed - file /snap/eclipse/29/collectSupportInformation.sh does not exist

Waiting for an update of ADT to be able to use it !
