Can't Install Launcher on Mac Mojave

Administrator

Just dl-ed launcher from Pharo.org. Attempting to open Iceberg gives:
"NotFound: Could not find repository from '/'". Seems to be coming from
libgit. Anyone else seeing this?

Re: Can't Install Launcher on Mac Mojave

Nope. I downloaded launcher just 20 minutes ago on Mojave and am using
it without problems. Where did you extract it to? Did you extract it as
a different user? Did you try to run it from within the .dmg directly?

Hi Sean,

There was a similar issue on Linux: https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-launcher/issues/307

It works with 1.7.2 on my laptop but I’m able to reproduce the error if I put PharoLauncher in a location containing non ASCII characters, I get the same error.
To fix this, in PL image, edit VirtualMachine>>#fullPath with:
^(self getSystemAttribute: 0) asByteArray utf8Decoded

It is a problem with the Pharo image. Encoding is not managed everywhere.

Tell me if it fixes your problem.

Weird. Nuked startup preferences folder just in case. fullPath modification
didn't help.

>Where did you extract it to?
~/Application

Doesn't look like it

> Did you try to run it from within the .dmg directly?
No. Opened the dmg, dragged it into apps folder, then opened that

Re: Can't Install Launcher on Mac Mojave

I downloaded it again, extracted it to /Applications, ran Pharo7-64bit
and opened Iceberg without issues. Launcher created the working
directory at ~/Documents/Pharo, which should be fine w.r.t. permissions.

I'm out of ideas...

ok. I see.
When building PharoLauncher, Metacello loads PL code with url:
Metacello new
baseline: 'PharoLauncher’;
repository: 'gitlocal://src';
load
In PL, if you inspect IceRepository registry, you will notice a repository IceLibGitRepository(.) corresponding to the above expression.
when you run PL from UI, working directory is /, IceLibGitRepository(.) then is resolved to / => no git repo there.
That’s why you get: Could not find repository from ‘/'

Here is a fix for it:
(IceRepository registeredRepositoryIncludingPackage: (RPackageOrganizer default packageNamed: 'PharoLauncher-Core'))
name: 'pharo-launcher';
location: nil

That worked! Thanks. I wonder why Max did not get the error, though…

Probably because the email title is « can’t install launcher … » and the issue only raises if you try to open Iceberg ;)

Except Max said:
I downloaded it again... and opened Iceberg without issues.

Good catch. I should have read more carefully!
Indeed, strange that Max did not get the issue.

Could it be that Max tried to open it in a launched image?

Max Leske

Re: Can't Install Launcher on Mac Mojave

Yeah. I hadn't realized that you were launching Iceberg within launcher. I launched an image first and then opened Iceberg in there.

So, problem solved.

Thanks for the clarification Max.
