Description
Issue Summary
Trying to upgrade Jira using the response.varfile as described here fails.
Steps to Reproduce
- Download a Jira installer;
- Upgrade Jira;
- Use the created <installation-directory>/.install4j/response.varfile to make a second upgrade.
Expected Results
A successful upgrade.
Actual Results
We are presented with these messages in the terminal:
Unpacking JRE ... Starting Installer ... The installation directory has been set to /opt/atlassian2/jirasoftware. It appears that JIRA is already installed in the directory you selected. Please choose a different directory.
Workaround
In the response.varfile file, this line:
sys.confirmedUpdateInstallationString=False
Should actually look like this:
sys.confirmedUpdateInstallationString=true
Just make this replacement, and now the upgrade should happen successfully.
