Opening folder on MacOS doesn't work on restart (MacOS)

[riordant]

Issue

• First opening of application

• Websocket does not attempt connection, no failure.

• File - Open Folder, open/close localhost, folder loaded.

• restart application

• console error:

  Uncaught (in promise) Error: Websocket connection is not open yet
  at RemixdHandle.e.postMessage (vendor.js:12527)
  at RemixdHandle.e.callPluginMethod (vendor.js:12527)
  at RemixdHandle.<anonymous> (vendor.js:12527)
  at vendor.js:12527
  at Object.next (vendor.js:12527)
  at vendor.js:12527

  at s (vendor.js:12527)
  at RemixdHandle.e.handshake (vendor.js:12527)
  at RemixdHandle.<anonymous> (vendor.js:12527)

• Attempting File - Open Folder doesn't work

open/close localhost causes following error in console (likely due to previous error): provider not ready

Workaround:

• close application
• rm -rf ~/Library/ApplicationSupport/remix-ide
• reopen, add folder again.

Could you test it again? this should be fixed with the latest version https://github.com/ethereum/remix-desktop/releases 1.1.0

@yann300 had the same issue on 1.1.0 And this workaround solved it. For my issue the FILE EXPLORERS tab was completely empty until I deleted the "~/Library/Application\ Support/remix-ide" folder.

other things like reinstalling remix, restarting my laptop did. not work.

Hmm same issue for me. Open folder does not work. The workaround suggested does not fix it for me. On latest version.
