Question

I just discovered forge and wanted to try it out at once. I closely followed the tutorial at http://docs.trigger.io/en/v1.3/getting-started.html#mac-and-linux-users and everything went fine, until I tried to actually run my app:

(forge-environment) forge run web
[   INFO] Forge tools running at version 3.3.2
[   INFO] Checking JavaScript files...
[   INFO] JavaScript check complete
[   INFO] Verifying your configuration settings...
[   INFO] Configuration settings check complete
Exception in thread Thread-3:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 551, in __bootstrap_inner
    self.run()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 504, in run

    state.proc = lib.PopenWithoutNewConsole(args, stdout=subprocess.PIPE,     stderr=subprocess.STDOUT, env=kw.get('env'))

     errread, errwrite)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 1249, in _execute_child
     raise child_exception
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

(it doesn’t actually crash, just hangs for a while, then quits with status 131)
This happens no matter how I try to run it (android, web). I’m on Ubuntu 12.04, everything updated. I didn’t change anything from the defaults, just create and then build

Any ideas?

The underlying error was adb not being found to interact with the emulator / device: we’ve fixed the poor error message here so that other Linux users won’t be stuck in the same way!
