The wording of the message is slightly wrong. It should be "Feature named 'shell-compat/4.0.6' is not required" but it would not be much more clear. In short, the fact that a feature is installed does not mean you can "uninstall" it. You can only uninstall features you have explicitly installed. And btw, this does not mean that it will be uninstalled, this will be the case only if it's not required by another feature.
If you want to get a better picture of what happens, you can use the "requirement-list" command that will print all the input requirements for the feature service (and resolver). All those requirements will be fulfilled at any time after calling "feature:install" or "feature:uninstall" (or "requirement-add", "requirement-remove"). You can also add requirements on bundles, services, etc... So to get back to the initial problem, "feature:uninstall" does not go through the list of bundles and uninstalling them anymore. It removes the requirement from the list of input requirements and run the resolver again. If the feature is not needed anymore, its bundles will be uninstalled. 2016-09-05 21:01 GMT+02:00 Benson Margulies <ben...@basistech.com>: > I install shell-compat by including 'standard' in my assembly. > > If I try to uninstall it, I get the following complaint that it is not > installed. > > karaf@root>feature:uninstall shell-compat/4.0.6 > 2016-09-05 14:59:20,611 | ERROR | nsole user karaf | ShellUtil > | 191 - org.apache.karaf.shell.core - 4.0.6 | Exception > caught while executing command > java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Feature named 'shell-compat/4.0.6' > is not installed > at org.apache.karaf.features.internal.service.FeaturesServiceImpl. > uninstallFeatures(FeaturesServiceImpl.java:997)[ > 6:org.apache.karaf.features.core:4.0.6] > at org.apache.karaf.features.command.UninstallFeatureCommand.doExecute( > UninstallFeatureCommand.java:54)[178:org.apache.karaf. > features.command:4.0.6] > at org.apache.karaf.features.command.FeaturesCommandSupport.execute( > FeaturesCommandSupport.java:37)[178:org.apache.karaf. > features.command:4.0.6] > at org.apache.karaf.shell.impl.action.command.ActionCommand. > execute(ActionCommand.java:83)[191:org.apache.karaf.shell.core:4.0.6] > at org.apache.karaf.shell.impl.console.osgi.secured. > SecuredCommand.execute(SecuredCommand.java:67)[191: > org.apache.karaf.shell.core:4.0.6] > at org.apache.karaf.shell.impl.console.osgi.secured. > SecuredCommand.execute(SecuredCommand.java:87)[191: > org.apache.karaf.shell.core:4.0.6] > at org.apache.felix.gogo.runtime.Closure.executeCmd(Closure. > java:480)[191:org.apache.karaf.shell.core:4.0.6] > at org.apache.felix.gogo.runtime.Closure.executeStatement( > Closure.java:406)[191:org.apache.karaf.shell.core:4.0.6] > at org.apache.felix.gogo.runtime.Pipe.run(Pipe.java:108)[191: > org.apache.karaf.shell.core:4.0.6] > at org.apache.felix.gogo.runtime.Closure.execute(Closure.java: > 182)[191:org.apache.karaf.shell.core:4.0.6] > at org.apache.felix.gogo.runtime.Closure.execute(Closure.java: > 119)[191:org.apache.karaf.shell.core:4.0.6] > at org.apache.felix.gogo.runtime.CommandSessionImpl.execute( > CommandSessionImpl.java:94)[191:org.apache.karaf.shell.core:4.0.6] > at org.apache.karaf.shell.impl.console.ConsoleSessionImpl. > run(ConsoleSessionImpl.java:274)[191:org.apache.karaf.shell.core:4.0.6] > at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:745)[:1.8.0_60] > -- ------------------------ Guillaume Nodet ------------------------ Red Hat, Open Source Integration Email: gno...@redhat.com Web: http://fusesource.com Blog: http://gnodet.blogspot.com/
