mix test.watch --> Could not start the file system monitor. #78

Closed crux closed 3 years ago

crux commented 3 years ago 
$ mix test.watch

[warn] Could not start the file system monitor.

$ mix --version
Erlang/OTP 24 [erts-12.0.3] [source] [64-bit] [smp:8:8] [ds:8:8:10] [async-threads:1] [jit] [dtrace]

Mix 1.12.2 (compiled with Erlang/OTP 24)

I could fix it to run by manually adding some executable flags:

$ chmod +x  ./deps/mix_test_watch/priv/zombie_killer
$ chmod +x ./deps/file_system/priv/mac_listener

Unluckily I do not know enough on the internals of the mix deps implementation and how to fix this.

I am running Mac OSX Big Sur 11.5.2, and I think it was working before. 

$ cat mix.lock

This happens on mix test.watch but I guess it is stemming from the underlying file_system watch, so I report it here instead of with test.watch. I believe it has to do with some kind of Apple continues rights and security updates, which is breaking things all the time anyhow.

Ok, looks like I can close the issue. It seems this was an artifact of my Google Drive Backup and Sync update, messing with the filesystem. sorry for the interruption,
