Wrong linux version being downloaded when invoked

[sc6l6d3v]

I'm using mongo4cats ("io.github.kirill5k" %% "mongo4cats-core" % "0.7.3") which invokes flapdoodle to download an embedded mongod instance. I am on alma linux 8.10. When I run the tests on mongo4cats that call for an embedded mongod they download the correct architecture. When I copy the same test verbatim into my Scala sbt project, it downloads the ubuntu version.

Here is the ubuntu version:

(cd ~/.embedmongo; find . -ls)

which doesn't work as the executable is bound to glibc_2.29 which doesn't exist on Alma

and here is the RHEL version (which works):

I am using java 21 in my repo, if that makes a difference.

Any suggestions how to trouble shoot this incorrect choice breaking several tests that use mongo?

Thanks,

@sc6l6d3v you might try do enable some logging (see https://github.com/flapdoodle-oss/de.flapdoodle.os?tab=readme-ov-file#run) .. i guess that the os detection will make a difference.. but i still wonder why .. but maybe there is a difference how your sbt project resolves transient dependencies and .. takes a different version as the other project.. so i would suggest to use the same version for de.flapdoodle.embed.mongo ..

[sc6l6d3v]

Thanks for the suggestion. The root cause was that the release versions of flapdoodle were older than the ones in the mongo4cats repo. New ones detected my alma distro while the previous de.flapdoodle.os:1.5.3 did not add alma to the distribution list:

I cannot be ahead of mongo4cats but I will suggest a PR for him to catch up to your 1.7.2.

@sc6l6d3v the should use only one dependency so that there is always the matching set of all transient dependencies (its de.flapdoodle.embed.mongo).
