Flyway - libjvm.dylib issue in MacOs

Question

While I was setting up flyway on my Mac, when I tried to execute the command ./flyway info to verify all the configuration I've done properly, I used to get error saying -

libjvm.dylib” cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified.

Answer 1

To resolve the above issue, I followed below mentioned steps:-

1. Go to JRE LIB folder of flyway installation folder - for me this path looks
   something like this - flyway-8.5.4/jre/lib

2. Type this command find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 xattr -d com.apple.quarantine

3. Click cancel on the original libjvm.dylib dialog and execute the flyway command again. It should resolved the issue.

Answer 2

If you already have a recent version of JAVA installed - you can use it instead of the one bundled with the flyway tar. For some reason, flyway prefers the bundled JRE over $JAVA_HOME, but if you rename the bundled jre folder to something else, say jre_old, and JAVA_HOME is set - it will run flyway with your local JAVA and this error would be gone.
