BattleServerManager does not run on Linux with version 1.15.2

[bgstack15]

Versions

1.15.2

Severity

Critical (crashes, data loss)

Describe the bug

Environment: Devuan Linux unstable

In version 1.14.1 of linux-full tarball, the BattleServerManager script runs the .exe with wine, so the battleserver.exe runs.

In version 1.15.2 of linux-full tarball, the BattleServerManager does not run the .exe with wine, so it does not work. Somehow the code lost the ability to detect it needs to run it with wine.

The use of wine is not specified in the config.toml anywhere, or command line execution, so it probably is a change in application behavior. Would you consider reverting the behavior, or adding a config parameter to force "wine" as a token in the invocation before "BattleServer.exe"?

To Reproduce

Run the battle-server-manager directly.

./battle-server-manager/battle-server-manager start -e age2 --logRoot ~/log2 2>&1 | tee -a ~/log/battle-server-manager.3.log

battle-server-manager.1.14.1.log
battle-server-manager.1.15.2.log

Reproducibility

Always

Expected behavior

It somehow detects that it is running in Linux and will run with "wine" (not a full path, so that $PATH will be used)

Hello:

The behaviour was not meant to change so the bug probably happened due to the rework to support macOS as well. In the meantime you can simply use the old battle server manager with the rest of v1.5.2 (just drop it in place of the new one) ;)

The code checks for either $WINEPREFIX or $HOME/.wine to exist to run it with wine. Is your wine default prefix not initialized? Running it directly (without emu) is used as a last resort and for people that have binfmt installed

[bgstack15]

I have a default wine prefix at ~/.wine, but my game runs in ~/.wine-aoe2de. I run the game (not with your launcher) with WINEPREFIX=${HOME}/.wine-aoe2de.
I tried running this battle-server-manager after export WINEPREFIX=${HOME}/.wine-aoe2de, and it still would not run it with wine.

When I copy-paste the printed full invocation and prepend "wine" to it, with an unset WINEPREFIX to use the default, it runs just fine. Somehow 1.15.2 battle-server-manager is not detecting wine.

Alright, thanks for the test, then definetely there is something wrong with the code, will fix! :)
