Running Gauge sample on command line runs forever without error

[MariusSchmidt]

Describe the bug
I freshly installed gauge on command line via apt-get. I installed Gauge Java using "gauge install java". I created a sample project in /tmp/gaugesample

To Reproduce
Steps (or project) to reproduce the behavior:
/tmp$ mkdir gaugesample
/tmp$ cd gaugesample/
/tmp/gaugesample$ gauge init java
Initializing template from https://github.com/getgauge/template-java/releases/latest/download/java.zip
.
Copying Gauge template java to current directory ...
Successfully initialized the project. Run specifications with "gauge run specs/".
/tmp/gaugesample$ gauge run specs/

This is strange. I am trying to replicate this but it works fine on my linux as well as docker environments

[preetipadalia]

Hi @sriv
How to run Specification with Maven enabled gauge java project?

[PadillaBraulio]

@MariusSchmidt im facing the same issue, did you find a solution?

[MariusSchmidt]

I was actually to finally to fix it but I am not sure, if I remember the right solution. It was for sure setup related. Did you check, that you have the JAVA_HOME environment variable set?

[MariusSchmidt]

@PadillaBraulio Update: So for a fresh setup with a new additional Java Version (Java 17, installed alongside Java 16, 11 and 8) I ran into the same problem again, default JAVA_HOME was Java 11 but I tried to run the process with Java 17. Setting the JAVA_HOME to the machine actually running the tests (e.g. trough gauge-maven-plugin) made it work.
