i recently started learning datomic, and the experience has been amazing. however when i tried the console, following the on-prem documentation, i got the following error message:
ERROR: This version of Console requires Datomic 0.8.4096.0 to run
i downloaded datomic-pro-1.0.6165 and tried with a starter account. this error message occurs even with just bin/console --help. the required version is quite far behind the current version. i wonder, is the console no longer supported?
Hi @Ysmiraak,
May I ask what version of starter you were trying to run? Datomic Pro ships with console included. So you don’t need to use (and more importantly it won’t work with) the standalone console provided for Starter users.
You should be able to execute bin/console from the latest pro distribution root directory.
Thanks,
Jaret
hi jaret, thanks for the reply! glad to here that this is unexpected behavior.
i downloaded datomic from the link on the account page https://my.datomic.com/repo/com/datomic/datomic-pro/$VERSION/datomic-pro-$VERSION.zip with VERSION=1.0.6165 which was the newest version i found on https://my.datomic.com/downloads/pro.
i assumed that the starter is just pro with a different license? i could not find link specifically for starter, and i did not use the standalone console.
i could use bin/transactor and bin/run just fine. i’ve also use bin/maven-install and bin/repl. only that bin/console did not work for me.
We have confirmed this behavior and will be working on a fix for the next release.
Hi @ysmiraak!
Thank you for reporting this issue. We have released a fix on the stand-alone console. You can download here https://my.datomic.com/downloads/console. You’ll need to follow the README for running the bin/install-console command, supplied with the directory of your Datomic on-prem distribution. Going forward, future releases of Datomic on-prem will include the fixed console version.
