Why is it necessary to check? That also pop-up a unwanted dialog #62

I don't know the purpose of gcc check but it fails and brings up a pop-up in the target Mac system. Is it expected behavior?

elliotweiser commented 4 years ago

Hmm. I don't recall this behavior happening at any point up to OS X 10.14 (Mojave). Is this on Catalina? Can you share some details about your target OS version?

senguttuvang commented 4 years ago

Yes, that's Catalina with latest update (10.5.6)

elliotweiser commented 4 years ago

I haven't gotten around to adding catalina support just yet, and there have been some reports of other weird issues when running this role on OS X 10.15.+. There will need to be some investigation to fully add this support.

FYI I'm also experiencing this issue on Big Sur (macOS 11.2.3).

According to this SO answer, we should use the following to check for command line tools:

xcode-select -p

Hi @jdumas. Last time I messed with this, that would also spawn the unwanted dialogue. I haven't had much time to test this on Big Sur. Feel free to submit a PR if you believe this is a better/more appropriate way to test the presence of the CLI tools.
