| Summary | 0000145: Rejects a path to the root of a volume; especially severe with visdiff (cli exe) | ||||
| Description | I have some disk images that I try to keep in sync. When I try to compare them using VisualDiffer, it always complains that there is no such path. In the GUI, it will let me choose it again and then it will work (didn't try this today, though). But when using the "visdiff" cli tool, it fails and cannot be made to work: % visdiff --wait /Volumes/100mb '/Volumes/100mb 1' Left path doesn't exist % visdiff --wait /Volumes/100mb/ '/Volumes/100mb 1/' Left path doesn't exist % visdiff --wait /Volumes/100mb/. '/Volumes/100mb 1/.' Left path doesn't exist | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Steps: 1. create a couple of 100mb disk images using Disk Utility (or hdiutil) if necessary 2. mount them (may already be mounted if created with Disk Utility) 3. % visdiff /Volumes/My_Volume_Mounted_From_Disk_Image_#1 /Volumes/My_Volume_Mounted_From_Disk_Image_#2 4. unexpected error from cli and GUI doesn't do anything: "Left path doesn't exist" | ||||

> In the GUI, it will let me choose it again and then it will work (didn't try this today, though). This seems related to trusted paths and OSX sandbox (you can check them from VisualDiffer preferences panel). I've tested on my env but everything works, below I describe what I did 1. open (ie mount) from Finder DMG file 1 2. open (ie mount) from Finder DMG file 2 3. from VisualDiffer select /Volume/DMG1 4. from VisualDiffer select /Volume/DMG2 5. start comparison 6. save VisualDiffer session file 7. close VisualDiffer 8. Run again VisualDiffer and open saved session Please if you do something different tell me in detail so I can reproduce myself > But when using the "visdiff" cli tool, it fails and cannot be made to work: The problem with visdiff cli is known and is due to OSX sandbox, I've open a file to apple and I'm waiting a solution, the temporary workaround consists to use the visdiff version distributed with VisualDiffer 1.4.3 You can refer to wiki to download the correct file http://wiki.visualdiffer.com/index.php/Frequently_Asked_Questions#visdiff_command_line_tool_no_longer_works |
