Cactus doesn't work on El Capitan

[pixelmai]

Hi,

Recently upgraded my OS from Mavericks to El Capitan. Now the app once you turn one project, you cannot switch it off to change it, and I it doesn't run the local server anymore.

Thanks!

[pixelmai]

Also, everytime I opened and reopened Cactus, it removed the listed projects one by one. Now its currently empty.

@koenbok , this is another Mac App issue — I can't do anything about it. Can you have a look?

[callil]

+1 I'm running into the same exact problem.

I'm having the same issue, here's what I'm seeing from the Cactus console:

Traceback (most recent call last):

I'm having the exact same problem as @jasonmelgoza.

[lagr8dane]

Me too. Help!

@pixelmai I was able to locate my sites in /Documents/—the folders are marked with a Cactus logo. You can then drag them back into Cactus.

But, failing on El Capitan here too.

I got this stack trace:

Can (one of) you try replacing the contents of /Applications/Cactus.app/Contents/Resources/python/CactusSource/cactus/listener/__init__.py with:

import logging

from cactus.listener.polling import PollingListener

logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

try:
    from mac import FSEventsListener as Listener
except (ImportError, OSError):
    logger.warning("Failed to load FSEventsListener", exc_info=True)
    Listener = PollingListener

Let me know if that makes the issue go away.

This isn't a complete fix... but it's pretty close to the best I can do without access to the Mac app source code or a repro.

Cheers,

[adlermedrado]

Hi @krallin, I did the replacement and it is working better now. Thanks,

[krallin]

Glad to hear it @adlermedrado!

I pushed the updated file to the main Cactus tree.

@koenbok, can we do something about an update of Cactus.app?

[krallin]

Better option, you might want to try replacing

libc = CDLL('libc.dylib')

With:

libc = CDLL('/usr/lib/libc.dylib')

In /Applications/Cactus.app/Contents/Resources/python/CactusSource/cactus/listener/mac.py.

This should get you the more efficient events-based listener on El Capitan (which is the behavior you'd see on an earlier version).

Cheers,

[adlermedrado]

Done. Thanks.

[krallin]

Thanks for confirming, @adlermedrado.

For what it's worth,you probably want to keep both fixes as mentioned above :)

Cheers,

[lagr8dane]

Hey,

Can you help me out with the location of the suggestion below?

Thanks!

@lagr8dane

This goes in /Applications/Cactus.app/Contents/Resources/python/CactusSource/cactus/listener/mac.py, on line 33

Cheers,

[wconcepts]

Thanks a mil, @krallin !!

[pixelmai]

Hello, I tried both the quick fixes, and it does get Cactus working again. Big thanks!

But the projects still vanishes everytime Cactus is opened/reopened.

[krallin]

@pixelmai ,

Do you have a stack trace or anything? Unfortunately I don't have access to the Mac app source code, so if the issue is in the app and not the underlying Cactus CLI, it's going to be difficult for me to do much about it :-1:

Cheers,

[jdsimcoe]

@pixelmai @krallin I'm getting this same issue.

Here is my stack trace I get when I have saved a project, close the app, and then try to re-open the app:

https://gist.github.com/jdsimcoe/4a6fcf1b6f0f2befb81f

[koenbok]

Hey everyone, I finally had some time to fix this. Please download the latest from cactusformac.com and let me know how it runs!

[jdsimcoe]

@koenbok Installed the latest and it still doesn't save sites in history and previewing of sites seems to be broken. Did you incorporate @krallin's changes that he has called out in this thread? His changes at least got Cactus working but saving sites on restart was still broken.

[etlsnhy]

Sorry, still not working here either. Each time I start up Cactus it looses the site list.

Not sure if this has been covered elsewhere, but I'm also getting the following error whenever I try to run a site:

File "/Applications/Cactus.app/Contents/Resources/python/run.py", line 32, in from cactus import cli File "/Applications/Cactus.app/Contents/Resources/python/CactusSource/cactus/cli.py", line 9, in import colorama ImportError: No module named colorama

[lagr8dane]

Hi,

Same issue on my end.

I am having the exact same issue, will not publish either. Please help, as I cannot seem to publish manually either. Replacing the index.html on S3 is causing all sorts of issues, and I cannot update my site at all. I am somewhat dead in the water!

Happy to pay if that is what it will take, I love Cactus, but am being hit with is prickly spines right now.

Getting the same error as @etlsnhy:

[jasonmelgoza]

@koenbok just downloaded the update, now I'm seeing this after trigging a preview:

Traceback (most recent call last):

[lesly]

Well, I do not now if it's work for everyone but I get the very same problem. I fix this by opening the terminal and install cactus with:

sudo easy_install cactus

and now when I run the app everything work ;).

[wconcepts]

Thanks @lesly !! Worked a charm for me. Looks like it installed all of the dependencies it needed.

[lesly]

Glad to help ;).

[krallin]

@koenbok It looks like your updated version is missing colorama as a dependency?

Cheers,

[L-A]

Here's an update on the state of things with 1.1.22. I'll try to point to the right open issues, as this one is blanket-ish:

• Cactus serves successfully (#197, and discussed here as well)
• Deployment on S3 works without having to intervene on OSX's Python install, or use a Boto config file (#193)
• Unfortunately, sites are still lost one by one on reopening Cactus (#178). I can test further if it helps, I'm not too sure what to try.

Running El Cap 10.11.1

[joshuakarjala]

with 1.1.22 I still get errors when deploying

S3ResponseError: 301 Moved Permanently <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Error><Code>PermanentRedirect</Code><Message>The bucket you are attempting to access must be addressed using the specified endpoint. Please send all future requests to this endpoint.</Message><Bucket>*****.***</Bucket><Endpoint>*****.***.s3.amazonaws.com</Endpoint><RequestId>8813F966B27016E9</RequestId><HostId>I45/V0bEhYBYakXDkK2SlkwpGMB8+ZAUwoO+PeFveqqI/fVG4ZB9dypFZiMgJqU9oc0bIrjQtlk=</HostId></Error>

[andrewclo]

@joshuakarjala also still experiencing the same issue.

[joshuakarjala]

@andrewclo with newest version of Cactus 1.1.22 if you are using a bucket not in us-east-1 then you need to add

"aws-bucket-region": "eu-west-1" (or what ever region you are in)

to your config.json

[andrewclo]

@joshuakarjala many thanks!

[aaronstezycki]

Any word on ETA for El Captain fixes? I still cannot, (even if I downgrade to a previous Cactus version) get Cactus to compile or preview a website.
