Has anyone else seen anything like this? I'm deploying Xcode, xcode command line tools, and the two xcode device packages inside xcode.app. When running the policy it sits at 80% and displays that message for 5~10 minutes then completes. The problem is users are going to see this and think "SUCCESSFUL!" then close self service before the installation finishes. I have added to expect this message and not close the window to the installation description, however I'd prefer that this message not appear at all.

Anyone?

For myself, I have one policy call a second policy using a custom trigger. I get that text while the second policy runs. I guess SS can't display the output of those actions as everything is running under the 'Files and Procsses' fuction of 'jamf policy -event step2'.

What are the elements of your policy? Sounds like it's done running, but you have more left to do....


1: Install xcode7.3 pkg from Apple(not packaged by me).
2: Install xcode cl tools.pkg from apple(not packaged by me).
3: Execute the following under files and processes:
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.dt.Xcode.plist IDELastGMLicenseAgreedTo -string EA1327;defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.dt.Xcode.plist IDEXcodeVersionForAgreedToGMLicense -string 7.3; for i in ls /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Resources/Packages/; do installer -pkg /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Resources/Packages/$i -target /; done;/usr/sbin/DevToolsSecurity -enable;sudo /usr/sbin/dseditgroup -o edit -t group -a staff _developer

4: Update inventory.


The last time I deployed Xcode was in 2014 under JSS 8 something and did not see that message. My method has not changed since then.


Yeah - so files & processes, looks like the output of those actions just sit there with "SUCCESSFULLY_INSTALLED_WITH_NAME". I recommend a FR to have it say something better, like 'Finalizing'...


Ahh. I've submitted it(displaying SQL table property garbage to the end user) as a bug to my rep. I'm sure I'll get back a message about a defect ID that I cannot track.


"We are tracking it as D-009947 "


You can post here JAMF Defect/Bug Tracker

And view status here


I suppose that's better than nothing. I'd expect something a little more professional like most open source projects use where you can subscribe to the thread about an issue and get an email update when something happens, as well as see detailed information about it rather than a vague description that runs outside of a column in a readonly spreadsheet(so you cannot widen the column to see what it says.) If I put that up for issue tracking by my co-workers in my company I'd be laughed at.. JAMF is using it for customers... They seriously need to hire consultants to streamline their business and development.


JAMF made a decision to not share defects, either because of security or just management of their product. That tracker is built and managed by members of the JAMF user community.
