Slack v4.22.0 doesn't open after `math-with-slack` installation #27

Closed motiwari closed 2 years ago

motiwari commented 2 years ago

math-with-slack has stopped working with v4.22.0 and no longer renders LaTeX properly.

I tried reinstalling math-with-slack but after doing so, Slack will fail to open and needs to be re-installed.

On MacOS Big Sur 11.6

Repro steps:

Oops. They updated some things related to security: https://slack.com/release-notes/mac.

I haven't fully consumed what they actually did. But there's a chance that this script will no longer work due to the increased security.

Any help is welcomed!

Thanks for the prompt response; would love to help but unfortunately won't have the time. I'll downgrade to 4.21 for now

I have a working solution with my manual modifications. I will try to automate this process and report back.

FWIW, reference to the key change: https://paper.dropbox.com/doc/Electron-ASAR-Integrity-QrEbSA149226qARwYOcp9

Thank you @thisiscam ! For anyone needing a temporary workaround on Mac, I downloaded Slack v4.21.1 , then ran:

defaults write com.tinyspeck.slackmacgap SlackNoAutoUpdates -bool YES python math-with-slack.py

and restarted Slack. Warning: this made me log in to all my workspace again

@motiwari #29 should address this problem.

I am willing to know if it works for anyone (or not).

motiwari commented 2 years ago

It works now, thank you @thisiscam !

There seems to be another issue now :( -- whenever quitting the Slack app and reopening, it logs the user out of all Slack workspaces and the user needs to log back in to all of them again

@motiwari Thanks for the find. Let's move the discuss to #30.
