Problem with Emacs as alias instead of Emacs.app #64

Closed NatHarari closed 5 years ago

NatHarari commented 5 years ago

Hi there, I'm on Mac Mojave and use railwaycat emacs with a symlink ln to /Applications. The problem is that the emacsclient in /Applications is looking to pass off the instructions to things contained in Emacs.app but the symlink doesn't have anything inside of it of course, and it doesn't seem to pass those instructions off to the Emacs.app over at /usr/local/Cellar/emacs-mac/emacs-26.3-z-mac-7.7/ I was thinking that I could just redo the script by hand, but I've never futzed around with that and I'd probably break it badly, and I'd have to redo it every time it upgrades to a new version as well (as it'd be pointing in a different place). I'm just wondering if there's a workaround for that somehow?

Thanks for any help!

Never mind! I figured it out: When I installed via brew, I mistakenly started emacsclient in the background as well as a service. It started doing weird things. I tracked down the issue, figured out that I had two processes going on, stopped the process via brew services stop emacs, restarted, and it works just fine now. I'm just writing this up so if anyone else comes across the problem, they might find the solution here. Sorry for the inconvenience! :)
