Problem

MacBook Air 2017, macOS Catalina 10.15.5

Nothing happens on starting the app.

Console.log reports : Failed to copy signing info for 13718, responsible for file:///Applications/eDEX-UI.app/Contents/MacOS/eDEX-UI: #-67062: Error Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=-67062 "(null)"

system.log reports : com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (com.edex.ui.50268[95914]): Service exited with abnormal code: 1

On trying on close the App, I get this.

Could you start the app through a terminal and give me the log output from there?

[aritropaul]

I tried, but the app just opens, and I don't get any output on the terminal. Is there any particular command that you recommend?

[aritropaul]

Got it.

It just stops after this. Nothing Happens.

[GitSquared]

Weird. Normally the next step is to create the terminal process and spawn your shell. Could you give me the contents of /Users/aritropaul/Library/Application Support/eDEX-UI/settings.json ?

[aritropaul]

{
    "shell": "bash",
    "cwd": "/Users/aritropaul/Library/Application Support/eDEX-UI",
    "keyboard": "en-US",
    "theme": "tron",
    "termFontSize": 15,
    "audio": true,
    "disableFeedbackAudio": false,
    "pingAddr": "1.1.1.1",
    "port": 3000,
    "nointro": false,
    "nocursor": false,
    "allowWindowed": false,
    "excludeThreadsFromToplist": true,
    "hideDotfiles": false,
    "fsListView": false,
    "experimentalGlobeFeatures": false,
    "experimentalFeatures": false
}

[GitSquared]

OK, pretty standard. Would you have anything running on localhost:3000 by any chance?

[aritropaul]

Nope

[GitSquared]

Shite. You have node installed?

[aritropaul]

Yeah, v14.4

[aritropaul]

I tried the 2.2.1 release too, same status.

[GitSquared]

The unreleased version might work better, so if you feel like it:

git clone https://github.com/GitSquared/edex-ui.git && cd edex-ui
npm run install-linux
npm start

[aritropaul]

Cool, lemme try this.

[aritropaul]

Gets stuck at the same point.

[GitSquared]

Well that's disappointing.

You're stuck here: https://github.com/GitSquared/edex-ui/blob/b462528dfda6c90ca6e2e4f3ce0b3c310b2b9766/src/_boot.js#L224

So shell-env is fucking up somehow.

You can try the following to hopefully get more info:

mkdir test && cd test
npm i shell-env
echo "console.log(require('shell-env').sync('/bin/bash'))" > index.js
node index.js

[aritropaul]

no output at all

[GitSquared]

Can you submit an issue over there then?

[GitSquared]

Closed as dependency-related.
