Fix OSX Compatibility Issues (workarounds included)

[frankamp]

• amazon-dash version: 1.0.4
• Python version: 2.7.10
• Operating System: OSX 10.13.4

Description

I tried to run this on OSX. It errors during the install step trying to determine whether I have systemd and during the run step trying to write an error message about the write permissions of the config file, because root is not a valid group.

What I Did

During install it bombs here:

return check_output(['ps', '--no-headers', '-o', 'comm', '1']).strip(b'\n ').decode('utf-8')

So I commented out line 99 in the init of the install path re: #if get_init_system() != 'systemd' or not get_systemd_services_path(): which makes it just raise an exception raise IsInstallableException('Systemd is not available'). This is fine though, because that exception is still a successful installation path re: "You must run it manually". I'm just developing on this machine, I'll run everything manually.

Then I discovered my dash button mac, and wrote a config file.

When I ran it, it complained about being unable to read a group, which turns out to be in the error handling code. I don't think I care about file permissions at all, least of all write perms. Maybe this should just be a warning?

I commented out all the write permissions error code

#   if (not os.getuid() and not only_root_write(file)) or oth_w_perm(file):
        #     file = os.path.abspath(file)
        #     raise SecurityException(
        #         'There should be no permissions for other users in the file "{file}". '
        #         'Current permissions: {user}:{group} {perms}. {msg}. '
        #         'Run "sudo chmod 660 \'{file}\' && sudo chown root:root \'{file}\'"'.format(
        #             file=file, user=get_file_owner(file),
        #             group=get_file_group(file), perms=os.stat(file).st_mode & 0o777,
        #             msg='Removes write permission for others' if os.getuid()
        #             else 'Only root must be able to write to file'))

It works fine.

Thanks for the program yo.

Amazon-dash has not been tested on OS X. The Amazon-dash installer does not support OSX. The installer is for Linux so you can ignore the installation step.

[frankamp]

It has now and it works great! I made it turn on my spotify on my machine for fun. With a couple of tweaks and a bit of docs, it would be usable by a lot of devs.

[Nekmo]

In a next version I will make sure that there is no error in the installation process. Thank you.

Does it work in OS X then? Does the discovery command work for you?

[frankamp]

Yep! I had a dash button make spotify play (using hnarayanan/shpotify cli project).

[Nekmo]

Thank you :)

Can you please give me the exception traceback of this code in OSX?

(not os.getuid() and not only_root_write(file)) or oth_w_perm(file):

OK thanks. I'm going to submit a patched version in the development branch. Please tell me if it works for you.

[frankamp]

Thanks!

Please install It using:

pip install https://github.com/Nekmo/amazon-dash/archive/develop.zip

Remember to fix the permissions of the Amazon-dash configuration file:

chmod 660 amazon-dash.yml && chown root:root amazon-dash.yml

Thanks.

[frankamp]

chown: root: illegal group name

this is the issue, the group on osx can't be root. If we're being this specific, wouldn't 600 suffice? Ignore the group?

Yes, change chmod 660 amazon-dash.yml to chmod 600 amazon-dash.yml and chown root:root amazon-dash.yml to chown root amazon-dash.yml

[frankamp]

Ok pip install goes:

You are using pip version 9.0.1, however version 10.0.1 is available.

I just launched a new release. I'm going to check it, thanks.

Your Setuptools version is old (24 Jun 2015), you can upgrade It using:

pip install -U setuptools

Thanks for notifying.
