The VM is no longer passing command line arguments to the image

[stormwatch]

How to replicate:

Run <path to release candidate.app> <image> one two three four.

Then evaluate:

| i a |
i := 0.
a := Smalltalk getSystemAttribute: i.
[a notNil] whileTrue: [
    Transcript showln: { i. a}.
    i := i + 1.
    a := Smalltalk getSystemAttribute: i ].

Expected behaviour as in the latest stable relase (2022)

The transcript logs all command line arguments:

(0 '/Users/eze/.local/src/Smalltalk/OpenSmalltalk/SqueakStable.app/Contents/MacOS/Squeak')

(1 '/Users/eze/.local/src/Smalltalk/Squeak/Squeak6.0-22104-64bit.image')

(2 'one')

(3 'two')

(4 'three')

(5 'four')

Behaviour using the current release candidate VM

The transcript logs only the vm executable and the image

(0 '/Users/eze/.local/src/Smalltalk/OpenSmalltalk/SqueakRC.app/Contents/MacOS/Squeak')

(1 '/Users/eze/.local/src/Smalltalk/Squeak/Squeak6.0-22104-64bit.image')

Tested in both Cuis and Squeak.

Might be related to #655.

Can you share the actual commandline please?

[stormwatch]

Can you share the actual commandline please?

Sure thing!

cd to the image dir, then tried:

/Users/eze/.local/src/Smalltalk/OpenSmalltalk/SqueakRC.app/Contents/MacOS/Squeak Squeak6.0-22104-64bit.image one two three four

against:

/Users/eze/.local/src/Smalltalk/OpenSmalltalk/SqueakStable.app/Contents/MacOS/Squeak Squeak6.0-22104-64bit.image one two three four

and similarly for Cuis tried:

/Users/eze/.local/src/Smalltalk/OpenSmalltalk/SqueakRC.app/Contents/MacOS/Squeak Cuis6.0-6090.image one two three four

against:

/Users/eze/.local/src/Smalltalk/OpenSmalltalk/SqueakStable.app/Contents/MacOS/Squeak Cuis6.0-6090.image one two three four

Yeah nobody is poulating commandLineArguments, I have a look

[krono]

Yeah, that was my fault, see 5b064fcae9254b60ac69e8a3b97c6c51629b9d48
