Polkadot-launch startup guide does not work

[dudo50]

Describe the bug Launching Acala network using command polkadot-launch acala-launch.json does nothing.

Expected Behavior Should start network containing rococo relay chain & acala parachain.

Current Behavior Does nothing. Tried on MacOs 12.5 & Ubuntu 21. Even trying my old test file that I used before, acala does not start. Steps to Reproduce

1. Clone acala git and polkadot git
2. npm install polkadot-launch
3. Compile acala and polkadot
4. cd acala/scripts/polkadot-lauch
5. polkadot-launch acala-launch.json

Additional context

• Node version: 16.17.0
• OS: Ubuntu 21

You are not suppose to run it like that. Please read the docs.

cp scripts/polkadot-launch/*.json $polkadot-launch/ results in error

cp: invalid option -- 'c'
Try 'cp --help' for more information.

Otherwise, I used everything according to Guide. (Reminder: Before it was working fine, it just started acting up from certain node update or maybe deprecation of polkadot-launch NPM library).

edit: Can you share your config file? (Acala part please) to see where I might have issue if it works for you.

Okay so being more specific. I can launch library and any of those config files. But it never goes past collator startup to write that network is started. In Relay chain I can see that parachain was added but it is gray and does not communicate with Relay chain. If I connect to Karura node blocks are produced fine and node is for some reason started fine.

This only happens to me with Karura. When I try other nodes it is fine.. Thanks for any hints/help in advance.
