On MacOS, can't run UECIDE 0.9.6 and newer
inoman:
I am running MacOS 10.12.6 (Sierra). I have installed Java version "1.8.0_201".
I can install and run UECIDE versions up to 0.9.5.
Starting with UECIDE version 0.9.6 (when the MacOS package style was changed), UECIDE will open a splash screen and show the red progress bar on the bottom with the words "Application...", but it never proceeds any further.
Anyone have any ideas?
matt:
Maybe it doesn't like your older preferences file. Try deleting preferences.txt from your UECIDE data directory (Libraries/UECIDE possibly?)
The only sure-fire way of telling is to run UECIDE from a terminal (java -jar /Applications/UECIDE.app/Contents/Java/uecide.jar) and see what exceptions get generated.
inoman:
Thanks! I tried running with --reset-preferences from command line and received the following. Any more ideas?
java -jar /Applications/UECIDE.app/Contents/Java/uecide.jar --reset-preferences
>>> All preferences reset to default! <<<

2019-02-14 19:12:37.719 java[14658:746862] !!! BUG: The current event queue and the main event queue are not the same. Events will not be handled correctly. This is probably because _TSGetMainThread was called for the first time off the main thread.
matt:
Strange. It seems like a common enough error, but no one ever says how they solved it.
One thing you can try is to add the command line flag -XstartOnFirstThread immediately after the java command (before the -jar ... flag).
matt:
Ok, I've found the version of JarBundler I was using is massively out of date. The newer version supports auto-setting of StartOnMainThread, which should fix things. I think I'll package up a new version of the DMG for testing - see if it fixes the problem for you.
matt:
Ok, try this version out. If it fixes things then we can rejoice.
inoman:
Thanks! But it doesn't seem to have worked. Here is my launch from Terminal:
java -jar /Applications/UECIDE.app/Contents/Resources/Java/uecide.jar

Oh, and Matt, here's the -XstartOnFirstThread:

matt:
I am just trying it in my VM of HighSierra. The default download of 0.10.5 is working fine. I'm just installing the 1.8.0_201 JDK to see if that makes a difference.
matt:
I can't get it to fail. Well, not much. We can ignore that main thread error - it's a red herring. You just need to run the java stub not use the java command line.
$ /Applications/UECIDE.app/Contents/MacOS/universalJavaApplicationStub
That will run things properly.
My experimental "somt" version of the DMG is broken though - that wants JRE 6 for some reason, and I know for a fact that it is configured for Java 8...
I can't get 0.10.5 to fail at all on HighSierra. Try running that stub command and tell me what it gives you. You can ignore the "can't download" errors - those are to be expected (see here )
inoman:
When I run 0.9.6 that way, I get the response below. I wonder if the kCFURLVolumeIsAutomountedKey missing for file is the key. It seems it is trying to reference a volume on an external drive that is not mounted. I may have originally installed Uecide on a different Mac and copied it to the current Mac where I don't use the external drive. How do I get it to stop referencing the external volume?

matt:
Are you sure it's Java 8 that it's using? I see that error happening to other people in other software with Java 9 and higher.
matt:
Ok, I can replicate this now by installing JDK 11. It instantly dies. It is something more than needs migrating to JDK >= 9.
matt:
Ok, so I can "cure" it by nobbling the whole of the "Think Different" class. I don't really see the point of it, and it's one less thing to worry about. I can always re-implement it in the future if it's really needed, but I doubt that very much.
matt:
Ok, I have got it working on my VM with JDK 11 installed.
I haven't released an entire new version for this change, rather just replaced the existing 0.10.5 release. You can grab it here:
inoman:
Matt,
Great job! That works! Thanks for the very quick responses! I sent in a donation in appreciation!
