Sparkle

launch path not accessible (relaunch)

Asked by Tanaris

As the title says, I just checked out from github and Sparkle properly replaces the binary, but when it runs the NSTask to launch relaunch, it errors out saying:

launch path not accessible

Even if I run it from the command line, it just hangs, and I have no idea why (if I kill the app manually while I'm waiting for the command to execute, then it will relaunch the other app).

So if I copy relaunch to my desktop, then hard code the path in SUBasicUpdateDriver.m to run relaunch from the desktop, it works fine. I'm really confused as to why I can't execute it from the temporary directory it's copied to.

Any ideas?

Does your temporary directory have strange permissions, perhaps?

That's what I thought, I ended up doing like chmod +x -r thedir

And even chmod 777, but nothing would end up working. I even removed the entire temp directory. I ultimately ended up having Sparkle copy it to my app's log folder, then removing the relaunch file the next time my app started. Kind of a hack, but it ended up working.

Is the relaunch binary inside the Sparkle.framework in your app? In the Resources folder?

Yes it is, right now I just copy it to a different directory (edited the sparkle source) and it's working fine.

So strange
