Notorious EACCES error on Mac M2 #24

Open davidbajusz opened 7 months ago

Hi,

I'm using the Zotero Integration for Obsidian, which relies on pdfannots2json when pulling in citations from Zotero. On a Mac M2 machine, I consistently run into the error I copied below.

I tried troubleshooting based on these issues: https://github.com/mgmeyers/obsidian-zotero-integration/issues/58 https://github.com/mgmeyers/obsidian-zotero-integration/issues/95

but to no avail. Also, the exact same setup works from a windows machine, so I was wondering if this might have something to do with the M2 chipset not being supported as of yet? If so, do you plan to add support for it anytime soon?

Thanks in advance.

Best, David

I get a similar error when I try to re-load the executable from a different path in Obsidian. (PDF Utility Path Override)

Interestingly, when I delete the custom path and it tries to fall back to the default location, it quotes "pdfannots2json-darwin-arm64", so it might have fetched a version for the wrong chipset (in lack of M2)?

I have the same problem with Mac M2, too.

Update: in my case, the problem was resolved by migrating the Obsidian vault to my iCloud drive, instead of the third-party cloud provider (pCloud) that I was originally using.
