Camunda 8 Run

[mkelton]

Hi,

thanks a lot for Camunda Run test environment.
I’ve just tried to start it and met one problem; Elasticsearch step is starting yet gets stuck when tries to run Zeebe:

C:\user\BPM\c8run>c8run.exe start
Command: start
Java version is 23
Starting Elasticsearch 8.13.4...
(Hint: you can find the log output in the 'elasticsearch.log' file in the 'log' folder of your distribution.)

Error: Camunda did not start!

In 'connectors.log I see:

'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

In camunda.log:

'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

I have Java jdk-23 on my PC

Just downloaded and tested the Camunda 8 Run with JDK 21.0.1. Able to start without any issues.

Check the logs file present in the same location where you have c8run files.
For example C:\camunda\v8\c8run\log\camunda for Camunda related logs.

if you see Java is not set related warning, set these values in the command prompt:

Solution was to add %JAVA_HOME%\bin to Path
