An issue with energyplus 22.1.0-ed759b17ee on MacOS Apple Silicon is preventing ExpandObjects from running #482

This could possibly because the executable is copied to a tmp folder?

After investigation, this is an issue with the amd64 build of EnergyPlus-22.1.0-ed759b17ee-Darwin-macOS12.1-arm64.dmg. No matter how ExpandObjects is called (with shell=False, shell=True, relative path, absolute path, etc.), the executable fails with a sigkill message.

Solution

The solution is to simply install the x86_64 version: EnergyPlus-22.1.0-ed759b17ee-Darwin-macOS11.6-x86_64.dmg. It is probably not the most efficient way of running energyplus on macOS Silicon!
