First run spews "accept incoming network notifications" all over my screen

🐞 Bug report 🐞

Description

I installed on my Mac (Big Sur 11.4). When I ran "aldi repl" about 9 windows popped up! Clicking deny does not clear them. This is very annoying.

Eventually the Mac clean up the mess of windows (after a few minutes).

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install
2. run "aldi repl"

Killed aldi. Ran again. Window pops again.

The windows have two flavors. They have deny and allow buttons. Deny does nothing. Window remains. I will not click allow.

• Do you want the application “alda” to accept incoming network connections?
• Do you want the application “java” to accept incoming network connections?

This seems like a general issue with running applications on macOS.

Does this information help?

[sqqqrly]

No. That link suggests "add to the list of permitted apps". Ummm no.

[sqqqrly]

Why is alda asking for incoming network connections at all?

[daveyarwood]

When you run alda repl, it starts an Alda REPL server, which can be connected to from other alda repl client processes. Communication is done over TCP via the OSC protocol.

Interesting. Thanks for the reply.
