security and privacy, preferences --> privacy --> developer tools settings. enable terminal and any ide from which this is invoked the appropriate permissions. Say bash/terminal/jetbrains/atom/vs code etc

talmobi commented 4 years ago

@deepziem what if there are no Developer Listed in the privacy tab? (even though developer mode is enabled)

talmobi commented 4 years ago

I got the Developer Tools showing in the pref pane by xcode through the App Store. Remember to also OPEN the xcode application from the App Store because this will trigger another update.

Updating from the command line did not work.

However, still can't get robotjs to work in catalina. Sigh, should have not updated the OS. Thought I waited long enough but apparently not.

Great success! Got robotjs working by simply adding iterm to both the Accessability section and Developer Tools section!
