Exception: adb="adb" is not executable.

Hi I'm getting the following error message when executing whatsDump.

[INFO] Cleaning WhatsApp... [INFO] Moving extracted database into emulator... Traceback (most recent call last): File "whatsdump.py", line 244, in main() File "whatsdump.py", line 227, in main wa_emu.register_phone(msgstore_path, phone.country_code, phone.national_number, args.wa_verify, wa_code_callback) File "src/whatsapp.py", line 76, in register_phone File "src/tools.py", line 18, in get_viewclient return ViewClient(device=vc_adb, serialno=self.adb_client.serial, useuiautomatorhelper=True) File "com/dtmilano/android/viewclient.py", line 2475, in init File "com/dtmilano/android/common.py", line 168, in obtainAdbPath Exception: adb="adb" is not executable.

I'm executing the binaries on macOS Catalina. I've successfully installed all the dependencies and the sdk. It seems like the emulator is starting, but then having some problems with not finding the adb.

I tried setting the ANDROID_HOME variable to the android-sdk directory, but that didn't help.

Any ideas or advice on what I could try?

Thank you very much!

Sorry, fixed it. My ANDROID_HOME variable was wrong. I had it set to: /Users/USERNAME/Downloads/WhatsDump-master/android-sdk/platform-tools instead of /Users/USERNAME/Downloads/WhatsDump-master/android-sdk
