Closed rmeruane closed 8 years ago

rmeruane commented 8 years ago

There is a problem finding IPC socket location on MacOS when you choose custom data folder.

Thanks for reporting the issue. Can you please provide the screenshot of settings/basic tab (with the datadir)? It seems it might be the double "//" causing the issue here.

This is my Settings tab

The IPC route is /Volumes/Rafael128GB/Ethereum/geth.ipc but the client tries to connect to /User/rafael/Library/Ethereum//geth.ipc

Hmm seems it's always going to the "default" path. I'll create a symlink on my mac to try this out with a custom path and get back to you shortly.

thanks almindor!

Confirmed, the logic was wrong and always went for the default. I have to test all three platforms before releasing 1.3.2.

As a workaround for now you can create a symlink to where Etherwall goes by default. In your case (in terminal): ln -s /Volumes/Rafael128GB/Ethereum /User/rafael/Library/Ethereum

If you want to help test this issue, and are somewhat familiar with building QT5 (e.g. via QTCreator) you can help me by checking out the dev branch, building and using it to see if it works for you now.

This should be fixed now with 1.3.2. Please re-open if that's not the case.
