Segmentation Fault (SIGSEGV) during Keybase installation via Homebrew on macOS #142

Open ComputerKeeda opened 1 month ago

ComputerKeeda commented 1 month ago

Description:

When installing Keybase using Homebrew on macOS, I encountered a segmentation fault (SIGSEGV) during the installation process, specifically while installing command-line tools. This appears to be caused by a nil pointer dereference in the Go code.


Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Run brew install keybase on macOS.
  2. Observe the panic during the installation process.

Expected behavior:

The installation should complete without errors.


Actual behavior:

The installation fails with a segmentation fault.


Environment:

Error Logs:

panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference
[signal SIGSEGV: segmentation violation code=0x2 addr=0x28 pc=0x1016a4484]

Additional Context:

The installation process seems to fail while checking /usr/local/bin/keybase. It appears related to the Go code at this point:

The go client is in a separate repo. Perhaps your issue can be moved there?
