Evaluation Process Terminated installing deps with Mac desktop app

[kipcole9]

Environment

• MacOS 12.3
• Elixir 14.1
• OTP 25.1
• Livebook Mac App 0.7.1 (boot error)
• Livebook Escript 0.7 and 0.7.1 (no errors)

Current behavior: Livebook Mac App 0.7.1

Installing dependencies raises a boot error in Mac standalone app. Note that the environment variable PATH in Settings is set to /usr/local/bin for the build tool chain required for vix.

Removing {:image, ">= 0.13.1"} boots without error

Livebook Escript version 0.7 and 0.7.1 execute with no error

Iex session executes correctly

:ok

Expected behavior

Installation in the Mac standalone app to compile - or to report an easier to understand error.

I am pretty sure this is related to the fact we are using the Livebook boot process also for the runtime and it will be addressed by #1495.

@kipcole9 thank you for the report. This should indeed be solved by #1495 which just landed on main. The fix is also already available as a nightly build and if you could give that a go we'd appreciate it!

Confirmed working on the nightly build. Thanks much @wojtekmach, much appreciated.
