'popen' not supported - dzVents on FreeBSD [Solved]

[Whiskey]

I have installed Domoticz in a jail on my FreeNAS that runs FreeBSD 11.1 Most seems to work fine, however when I try the simple dzVents test script from the wiki I am getting this in the log:

Code: Select all

Status: dzVents: Error (2.4.6): .../home/domoticz/domoticz/dzVents/runtime/EventHelpers.lua:304: 'popen' not supported
Status: dzVents: Error (2.4.6): .../home/domoticz/domoticz/dzVents/runtime/EventHelpers.lua:304: 'popen' not supported
Status: dzVents: Error (2.4.6): .../home/domoticz/domoticz/dzVents/runtime/EventHelpers.lua:304: 'popen' not supported 

Googling for this error brought up this page that suggests that lua must be compiled with LUA_USE_LINUX or DLUA_USE_POSIX. But I'm not sure how to achieve that and it may not even be the solution (seems like an option that is already set).

This may belong in a different part of the forums as it seems particular to how Lua is compiled on FreeBSD, but Lua does work and dzVents does not so I'm trying first here.

Any suggestions on how to tackle this? Thanks!

Yep, turned out that was indeed the solution. I added FreeBSD as a build target for LUA and now it works. Created a pull request for it: https://github.com/domoticz/domoticz/pull/2475
