Unable to start PCF Dev instance


Im facing a weird issue when I try to start pcf dev on my local machine. enter image description here

As you can see that whenever I try to start it fails at the step where its trying to add a dvd drive. My cf version is 6.38.0+7ddf0aadd.2018-08-07

My cf dev version is 0.0.9

Total system memory 8.0GB Windows 10 with Hyper-V

Any suggestions ?


Solution

  • I think you found this out here, but PCF Dev currently fails when a user directory has a space in it. This is a known bug, which will hopefully be fixed soon.

    If you do the following you can work around this limitation:

    $ cf dev stop # to clean any leftover resources
    $ $env:CFDEV_HOME="C:\cfdev"
    $ cf dev start -f E:\pcfdev-pas.v.2.0.20.0-build.0.82.0.iso
    

    This just puts the directory for PCF Dev resources into a location that has no spaces.
