Quick Start Guide fails with "Invalid MONGO_VERSION"

[sa7mon]

By following the steps in the quick start guide, I was stopped in my tracks by an error.

Switching the version to the example in the error text also fails with the same error

I've narrowed down the issue: the value of mongo_version here is MONGO_VERSION=6.0

https://github.com/overleaf/toolkit/blob/6ac04c0d0db7031a2b21f1c770e801594e3d83f3/lib/shared-functions.sh#L29

read_configration() appears to not be properly stripping the configuration names from the values. I'd propose a fix but the sed incantation is a bit too dense for me to navigate.

I have the same issue. Not a regex or sed expert either, but I think that "\1" in sed -r "s/^$name=(["']?)(.+)\1$/\2/" shouldn't be there. Otherwise, sed is capturing both groups and not just the version after the =.

EDIT : Actually a duplicate from : https://github.com/overleaf/toolkit/pull/351 this regex requires actual GNU-sed, and not the one sometimes included in the base OS (Busybox on Alpine in my case).

[McHarold404]

Did any one get this to work?

[sa7mon]

Thanks for the link @UberPanda - this issue does look to be a duplicate of #287.

@McHarold404 the workaround listed in this comment works - https://github.com/overleaf/toolkit/issues/287#issuecomment-2360523387

Looks like the root cause is actually that the pattern works properly when using GNU sed but fails when using MacOS sed.

There is a fix for any OS. https://github.com/overleaf/toolkit/pull/397
