dockutil 3.0.0-beta.1 --allhomes as root fails #112

Thanks for the new dockutil Beta! :-) I encountered a Bug when executed as root. When i execute it with the normal user it works for the current user. Version 2.0.5 docked it to all homes with this command, the 3.0.0 beta1 fails.

sudo /usr/local/bin/dockutil --add '/Applications/Microsoft Edge.app' --after 'Mission Control' --allhomes Error: /var/root/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist does not seem to be a home directory or a dock plist Usage: dockutil [<options>] [<plist-location-specification> ...] See 'dockutil --help' for more information. [file:///Users/.localized, file:///Users/Shared/, file:///Users/testuser1/, file:///Users/testuser2/] /Users/.localized/Library/Preferences /Users/Shared/Library/Preferences /Users/testuser1/Library/Preferences /Users/testuser2/Library/Preferences

Thanks for testing and reporting the issue! I will investigate.

We see similar issues as @kiepenflicker . (we run dockutil as postinstall script from WorkspaceONE, it runs as root, so the --allhomes feature is used to manage the current user's dock). If needed, ping me to give more troubleshooting info.

Thanks for your patience. Please retest in beta 2. It should be fixed.

mjsanders commented 2 years ago

Yes, fixed for me! Many thanks for this rewrite of dockutil!
