I was able to open and control clicking > Show Package Contents > Contents > MacOS > clicking on OpenElectribeEditor
I haven't ran into this issue, so I'm not sure exactly what that error means (and it's been a while since I've looked into it). But I know other people have reported it at one point or another.
I use homebrew
and homebrew-cask
to install all my apps. Open Electribe Editor requires java 6, so I ran the following:
brew tap caskroom/versions
brew update
brew cask install java6
After doing that, I've been able to run Open Electribe Editor without issues. Can you see if this works for you?
I updated xcode and installed homebrew and then ran the code but get the same original Alert. I can still open the editor in the terminal but now it crashes if i try to save or open a new esx file.

@forare -
Okay. I'm able to reproduce, but only if I try to open/run "OpenElectribeEditor.app" from a folder by itself.
I now see what you are saying. I used the "Eclipse RCP" framework when making this app. It bundles apps a little differently than the OSX standard.
For instance, I am using the "OpenElectribeEditor-v1.2.0-macosx.cocoa.x86.tar.gz" download. When I extract that folder, I get a bunch of files:
I can run "OpenElectribeEditor.app" from that folder just fine. If I move OpenElectribeEditor to a different folder, I get the error you are seeing.
So: if you are trying to move this to your "Applications" folder, you need to drag-and-drop the whole "OpenElectribeEditor" folder- not just the OpenElectribeEditor.app file.
So this app is built on eclipse, and you "install" it the same way. Here's some info I found from a quick google search: https://superuser.com/questions/670592/moving-eclipse-into-applications
That's weird because I have been trying to run it inside that folder and not by itself...hmm.
I'm not exactly sure. I do also have java7
and java8
installed, but I know the program didn't start working until I installed java6
. I've tried googling, but not sure any of the links I find will help. I typically just look for the same error message that happens for eclipse installations, and that sometimes helps people: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40680735/eclipse-executable-launcher-was-unable-to-locate-its-companion-shared-library-m
Maybe you can try:
brew cask install java
When I run brew cask list
I have the following 3 versions installed:
java
java6
java7
Sorry I'm not being more help, but I can't seem to reproduce. I could try to help debug more, but would probably need to start asking for things like what all is in your path, etc. Do you see any errors when you run brew doctor
?
Thanks for your help. I have the same 3 java versions and no brew errors...I'll have to double check everything. It always worked fine in El Capitan so there's some conflict somewhere with Sierra, i guess.
I've got it running on this:
But I'm also running it from ~/Downloads/esx/OpenElectribeEditor/
What path did you unzip the .tar to? I know there is an issue w/ Eclipse for paths containing certain characters.
Another option would be running it from a VM (but that's kind of a pain).
I've been trying it from ~/Downloads/OpenElectribeEditor/ Tried it from apps too
It has to do with OSX adding some attributes that don't need to be there. To fix:
xattr -c OpenElectribeEditor.app
That worked for High Sierra. Thanks.
If it's in your Applications Folder, just make sure you type cd /Applications/OpenElectribeEditor/ into the terminal first, return, and then type xattr -c OpenElectribeEditor.app, return
I also have an updated wiki: https://github.com/skratchdot/open-electribe-editor/wiki/OSX---macOS-Sierra-Instructions
The key for me is making sure java -version
returns a java6 version
Sad to see this.....
When I want Open Electribe following Window is open:
Warning: The OpenElectribeEditor executable launcher was unable to locate its companion shared library.
