apm installation

[Shaunmax]

I completed all the steps required for apm, but when I run apm -version i get zsh: command not found: apm

what could be wrong?

[marchbold]

Something doesn't look right there, you are missing the apm script from that folder. Maybe try downloading the latest version again?

also I am getting this : - zsh: permission denied: apm

when running with sudo apm -version i get this : - sudo: apm: command not found

[marchbold]

You may have to adjust the permissions on the script.

chmod +x $AIR_TOOLS/apm

chmod +x $AIR_TOOLS/apm

Ok! that worked but I am getting this, is it ok ?

% apm -version
1.1.2
io error:[IOErrorEvent type="ioError" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text="Error #2031: Socket Error. URL: 127.0.0.1" errorID=2031]

[marchbold]

Hmmm shouldn't get an error just running that.

Can you run it like this :

apm -l d version

[Shaunmax]

apm -l d version

D::RunConfig::loadEnvironment()
D::LoadMacOSEnvironmentVariablesProcess::start()
io error:[IOErrorEvent type="ioError" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text="Error #2031: Socket Error. URL: 127.0.0.1" errorID=2031]
D::LoadMacOSEnvironmentVariablesProcess::Process exited with: 0
D::LoadMacOSJavaHomeProcess::start()
D::LoadProjectDefinitionProcess::start()
D::LoadUserSettingsProcess::start()
D::LoadUserSettingsProcess::User settings file doesn't exist
apm: v1.1.2

[marchbold]

Very odd, do you have an active network connection on that machine. I feel like that's an error from the AIR SDK as there are no sockets used in apm

[marchbold]

Which version of the AIR SDK are you using?

[Shaunmax]

The latest one AIR 33.1.1.713

That error must be coming from AIR or adl directly. There is nothing in apm that should be producing this error message.

@ajwfrost Do you have any ideas where a random message like this would come from?

[marchbold]

@Shaunmax Is the client working apart from that message? eg can you run a search for a package

apm search IDFA

[Shaunmax]

apm search IDFA

~ % apm search IDFA
io error:[IOErrorEvent type="ioError" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text="Error #2031: Socket Error. URL: 127.0.0.1" errorID=2031]

[marchbold]

Weird, so it's working fine, just some weird error message. Might have to wait for a comment from Andrew...

[ajwfrost]

Sounds odd, the only thing I can think of is if it's trying to connect to a debugger or similar, but then failing ..

Can you please run the below and see whether there's anything listening on ports 7934 or 7936 or similar?

lsof -i -P | grep -i "listen"

Plus also worth maybe editing the 'apm' file and where it's got "${ADL_DIR}"adl -profile extendedDesktop -cmd ..., add the -nodebug option i.e.

"${ADL_DIR}"adl -profile extendedDesktop -nodebug -cmd "${SCRIPT_DIR}/apm.xml" -- \

as that would stop it trying to connect to a debugger.

thanks

this is how it currently looks, which line should i edit?

[ajwfrost]

Okay thanks. Very strange then, so it doesn't sound like it's trying to connect to a debugger (you already have '-nodebug' in there, thanks @marchbold I hadn't spotted you'd added to macos too...). The only other connection that the runtime itself would try to make is to Scout in case you have a ~/.telemetry.cfg file present on your machine... but normally that would be removed if Scout isn't running (and if it was running you'd see it in that list of processes...)

Do you see the same problem if you first close down IntelliJ IDEA?

Also - what version of macOS are you running, we can see if we can reproduce it here..

yes

Scout wont work on Catalina

[marchbold]

Thats the windows bat file not the macos script.

I don't believe we have nodebug flag on the macos script as that was added to solve the delay issue on windows, is it needed on macos as well?

[Shaunmax]

Thats the windows bat file not the macos script.

oops! is there any other file for apm?

[ajwfrost]

Ah good spot ... there's less of a problem with it on macos of course, but it may optimise things a little if we have '-nodebug'. Mostly though I was just trying to ensure the runtime didn't try to connect a socket up to the fdb process..

[ajwfrost]

Sorry, just seen this: > Scout wont work on Catalina

Really? I'm sure I have it working on Big Sur...?

[Shaunmax]

Ok! I missed that update! my bad! Yes, its working now, but has some issue with certificate!

[marchbold]

Right, so this message was AIR trying to connect to a debugger? I'll get -nodebug add to the script for the next release.

[ajwfrost]

@marchbold not sure if that is the case. If @Shaunmax is able to update the command line in the "apm" script (rather than "adm.bat") then we could confirm it. But may be good to do anyway :-)

But I am really unclear as to why any internal socket connection failure would end up with some output of an IOError on the command-line. Plus, I can't find the text "io error" anywhere in the AIR source code...! IOError is used in the APM for stuff around system i/o and nativeprocess I believe, could that be failing somewhere? (Although, they shouldn't be coming out with a socket error, the only place I can find that is in the AS3 Socket class itself...)

Weird one...

@Shaunmax just wondering, actually, rather than changing the script to add -nodebug, can you instead open another terminal, go to the AIR SDK "bin" folder, and run ./fdb - and then enter the command run. It should say Waiting for Player to connect and then if you run the APM, (a) if it was about the lack of a debugger, it should now connect and therefore no longer output that IOError; or (b) if it wasn't about the debugger, then the fact that there is a debugger (and hopefully it connects) means that the output message will then be populated with more information including the call stack...

thanks

[marchbold]

Yeah, there are obviously io operations in apm (writing and reading from disk) but nothing to do with sockets.

And with the particular apm -version command initially showing the error it basically prints a string and then exits . Which is why I tagged you as I really can't see how it could be the apm.swf?

[Shaunmax]

can you instead open another terminal, go to the AIR SDK "bin" folder, and run ./fdb - and then enter the command run. this is what i got : -

bin % ./fdb

1. you compiled your Flash movie with debugging on, and
2. you are running the Debugger version of the Flash Player.

[ajwfrost]

Just to confirm, you need to run ./fdb in one terminal and get it to say "Waiting for Player to connect"; then go back to another terminal to run the apm -version in parallel...

[Shaunmax]

run the apm -version in parallel...

terminal 1

only after entering continuein terminal 1, terminal 2 responded with version number and the error.

[ajwfrost]

Okay thanks ... so actually that didn't give the call stack information that I was hoping for :-( But curious as to what this is: [SWF] Users:mymacname:Library:Application Support:JetBrains:IntelliJIdea2021.2:plugins:ASProfiler:lib:profiler_agent_10.swf - 9,669 bytes after decompression

Are you able to run without IntelliJ running, or do you know what this SWF is doing? My guess would be this is the culprit but I don't know how/why it would be loading...?

Yes, but the result is same!

A quick search, tells me that its something used by IntelliJIdea : -
