Failed to start Pgsql tools service

• Installed latest ADS and Extension
• On Reload, the following error appears, and trying to connect to a database just spins the icon

Failed to start Pgsql tools service

• No other output or info is provided from extension. The MySQL one works fine

I can connect fine to postgres using other tools with no issue

Hello there. Same issue. I'm working with Apple M2 - Ventura: 13.0.1. Many thanks.

Same for me, pgsql tools service failed to start. Also tried to manually import vsix postgres extension but does not work. Apple M1 - ventura 13.0.1

[pascallerovers]

Is there a way to flag this issue? I can not do the work for my client now as I can't reach their Postgres server, for me this is a really big problem.

This is happening for me as well. Like @pascallerovers I also tried manually importing the vsix. Apple M1 Pro - Monterey 12.6.1

@pascallerovers and @jakebarry - I was able to get my ADS to connect with postgres by starting the ADS app using rosetta.

If you go to the app, right click and Get Info you will see a screen where you can check "Open using Rosetta".

That worked for me at least, hopefully it helps you!

I couldn't find those settings on my system (M2, Ventura 13.0.1), but reading your comment made me try to run the intel osx version of ADS and it just started with no issue (I'm not sure now if previuosly agreed to start apps with rosetta or similar, but had no pop ups ask me about it this time), ran the postgres extension and connected to my local db. Super happy, thank you!

[pascallerovers]

@michael-woolsey Thank you so much this helped! @Gilaad-Elstein I had to install the universal version to be able to see the checkbox. With the checkbox it works!

Worked for me, using the Universal and then Rosetta option. Seems a little slower than it should, but still better than pgadmin

Why was this ticket closed? Using the Universal version seems to just be a workaround, hopefully they can make the Postgres version work on the native version.
