Daily build 3007 - Simulator won't launch under macOS 10.12.2? anybody else seeing this?

[ed91]

I upgraded my macOS to the latest point release last night, and this morning can’t get the Simulator to launch anymore, using the latest daily build (3007).  I can get it to launch if I choose Corona Terminal from the application folder, just not Corona Simulator.

I can still get the latest public release (2949) to launch just fine, though I can’t build with that one (UNSUPPORTED iOS SDK Mismatch error).

I guess I’ll just use Corona Terminal instead of Corona Simulator for now, but I was wondering if anybody else was seeing this.

Actually the latest public release is 2992.

It’s odd that Corona Terminal would start it where Corona Simulator would not. Are you getting any error messages? You may need to look into the Console app to find them.

Sorry, I still had 2949 in my apps dir and accidentally used that insted of 2992.

2992 seems to launch OK most but not all of the time.  I’m not sure what the pattern is of when it will fail to launch, but once in a while it will do so.  3007 always fails.

When it fails, the Console shows a lot of output like this:

 

default 12:36:26.167530 -0500 Corona Simulator dbBlobVersion() failed for a non-existent database

default 12:36:26.168052 -0500 Corona Simulator CSSM Exception: -2147413737 CSSMERR_DL_DATASTORE_DOESNOT_EXIST

default 12:36:26.168952 -0500 Corona Simulator CSSM Exception: -2147413737 CSSMERR_DL_DATASTORE_DOESNOT_EXIST

That’s repeated a lot, notes about dbBlobVersion() failing, CSSM Exceptions, before the crash.  Repeated dozens of times.

Looking through the console, though, other apps are spewing similar errors, so that might be nothing to do with Corona.

If I filter out the dbBlobVersion and CSSM errors from the console, a launch-and-crash of Corona Simulator looks like this:

Maybe “UNIX error exception: 17” is the issue?

[ed91]

Also maybe worth noting: the “crash” of 3007 is silent.  It does not invoke MacOS’s “your application died do you want to re-open it” dialogue.  The app just starts and then stops, without showing any windows or anything. 

Whereas the crashes I was seeing on 2992 do produce that dialog.  So whatever they are, they’re not the same thing.

[rob]

I’ve pinged Engineering to take a look. FWIW, I updated to 10.12.2 last night and I have 3007 installed and I can start it up just fine. Hopefully the error messages will be helpful.

Rob

[Perry_Clarke]

Is the Simulator trying to open a particular app when it starts?  Or are you just expecting to see the “CoronaSDK” window with the links and recent projects listed in it?

When it fails to start, does the Corona Simulator icon bounce in the Dock a few times or does nothing happen at all?

Where is the copy of the Corona Simulator you are trying to run located (e.g. /Applications)?

I’d imagine you’ve tried already but does it make any difference if you restart your Mac?

[ed91]

I would expect the simulator to open the CoronaSDK window with recent projects.  It doesn’t get far enough that I can tell what it’s doing.  No windows open.

It bounces twice in the Dock and then stops.

It’s located in /Applications/CoronaSDK-3007/

I restarted the Mac this morning after I noticed the problem – didn’t help.

[Perry_Clarke]

After a little more investigation we resolved this though we don’t really understand what happened …

macOS 10.12 does a funky thing with downloaded apps called  Gatekeeper Path Randomization  to improve security and it sounds like it went a little awry in this case.  The fact that the Simulator ran correctly as  Corona Terminal  is the smoking gun because  Gatekeeper Path Randomization  isn’t invoked then.

The solution was to delete the bad copy in /Applications and recopy from the downloaded DMG.

[ed91]

Thanks – glad to know it wasn’t something broken about my machine!

[rob]

Actually the latest public release is 2992.

It’s odd that Corona Terminal would start it where Corona Simulator would not. Are you getting any error messages? You may need to look into the Console app to find them.

Rob

[ed91]

Sorry, I still had 2949 in my apps dir and accidentally used that insted of 2992.

2992 seems to launch OK most but not all of the time.  I’m not sure what the pattern is of when it will fail to launch, but once in a while it will do so.  3007 always fails.

When it fails, the Console shows a lot of output like this:

That’s repeated a lot, notes about dbBlobVersion() failing, CSSM Exceptions, before the crash.  Repeated dozens of times.

Looking through the console, though, other apps are spewing similar errors, so that might be nothing to do with Corona.

If I filter out the dbBlobVersion and CSSM errors from the console, a launch-and-crash of Corona Simulator looks like this:

Maybe “UNIX error exception: 17” is the issue?

[ed91]

Also maybe worth noting: the “crash” of 3007 is silent.  It does not invoke MacOS’s “your application died do you want to re-open it” dialogue.  The app just starts and then stops, without showing any windows or anything. 

Whereas the crashes I was seeing on 2992 do produce that dialog.  So whatever they are, they’re not the same thing.

[rob]

I’ve pinged Engineering to take a look. FWIW, I updated to 10.12.2 last night and I have 3007 installed and I can start it up just fine. Hopefully the error messages will be helpful.

Is the Simulator trying to open a particular app when it starts?  Or are you just expecting to see the “CoronaSDK” window with the links and recent projects listed in it?

When it fails to start, does the Corona Simulator icon bounce in the Dock a few times or does nothing happen at all?

Where is the copy of the Corona Simulator you are trying to run located (e.g. /Applications)?

I’d imagine you’ve tried already but does it make any difference if you restart your Mac?

[ed91]

I would expect the simulator to open the CoronaSDK window with recent projects.  It doesn’t get far enough that I can tell what it’s doing.  No windows open.

It bounces twice in the Dock and then stops.

It’s located in /Applications/CoronaSDK-3007/

I restarted the Mac this morning after I noticed the problem – didn’t help.

[Perry_Clarke]

After a little more investigation we resolved this though we don’t really understand what happened …

macOS 10.12 does a funky thing with downloaded apps called  Gatekeeper Path Randomization  to improve security and it sounds like it went a little awry in this case.  The fact that the Simulator ran correctly as  Corona Terminal  is the smoking gun because  Gatekeeper Path Randomization  isn’t invoked then.

The solution was to delete the bad copy in /Applications and recopy from the downloaded DMG.

[ed91]

Thanks – glad to know it wasn’t something broken about my machine!
