Recent version always shows "setup incomplete" on macos #5

asfaltboy · 2021-06-23T16:49:06Z

sorry, I wouldn't know where to start looking for debug logs 🤷

MattHardcastle · 2021-06-23T16:55:34Z

I'm assuming you installed the connector using brew. Can you run brew config command on your Mac and paste the output here? I have a suspicion I know what your issue may be.

asfaltboy · 2021-06-24T07:07:58Z

Yes. One important note I forgot to mention: I installed it before the new version was out, as I came across the thread in #1 and it worked fine for me for a period.

I also tried reinstalling the connector from brew, symlinking again, and restarting firefox

ls -al ~"/Library/Application Support/Mozilla/NativeMessagingHosts"/

and, the output from brew config:

Can you screenshot Menu > More Tools > Browser Console?

Also, can you:

Go to this URL: about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox.
Click "Inspect" beside the extension.
Make sure you are on the "Console" tab.
Take a screenshot of the console and upload it here.

@null-dev I'm running into the same issue, here's a screenshot:

I've fixed it with ln -s /opt/homebrew/Cellar/firefox-profile-switcher-connector/0.0.7/bin/ff-pswitch-connector /usr/local/bin/ff-pswitch-connector

sergeda · 2021-07-04T17:26:02Z

I have the same problem but different errors. Mine are:

Sorry for the delay, here are my screenshots:

null-dev · 2021-07-14T08:02:23Z

I just released a new version of the extension that should hopefully fix this issue. Can you try updating to it? Also make sure to update the additional software when asked.

asfaltboy · 2021-07-14T08:35:24Z

No luck, still looks broke... need to see any other logs?

null-dev · 2021-07-14T09:03:18Z

@asfaltboy Just to confirm, you are running regular Firefox, not a fork right? Can you send me the output of the following commands?

cat ~"/Library/Application Support/Mozilla/NativeMessagingHosts/ax.nd.profile_switcher_ff.json"
find /usr/local/Cellar/firefox-profile-switcher-connector
echo | ff-pswitch-connector

asfaltboy · 2021-07-14T10:34:02Z

Heh, after restarting I see no such dir:

$ ls -la ~"/Library/Application Support/Mozilla/NativeMessagingHosts"                                                                          Wed Jul 14 09:29:31 2021

"~/Library/Application Support/Mozilla/NativeMessagingHosts": No such file or directory (os error 2)

That's weird, before restart it was clearly there... (check the timestamps to the right)

asfaltboy · 2021-07-14T14:12:49Z

Just noticed I'm on (regular) firefox 90.0. Could be that the directory is deleted when firefox is upgraded?

So I just symlinked and restarted again, but issue persists. I just ran the commands you gave me and it looks like the ff-pswitch-connector rust app fails.

Here's the output:

@asfaltboy I'm completely stumped as everything looks just fine. The error you see with the program is actually because the connector software is expecting to be launched by Firefox however in this case I had you launch it through the terminal just to test that it's installed properly.

The last idea I have is to make the manifest globally visible, which you can do by running this command:

sudo ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/firefox-profile-switcher-connector/0.0.8/ax.nd.profile_switcher_ff.json /Library/Application Support/Mozilla/NativeMessagingHosts/ax.nd.profile_switcher_ff.json

caseykramer · 2021-07-19T12:55:39Z

The above step to make the manifest globally visible fixed things for me. I had to create the /Library/Application Support/Mozilla/NativeMessagingHosts directory first, but once I added the softlink all was well.

Huh, well that's good news, I'll instruct users to run that command as well.

asfaltboy · 2021-07-20T08:19:55Z

Yep that worked for me too, I'm on a work laptop, could be that is needed on certain setups? Is it something to do with permissions?

null-dev · 2021-07-21T05:43:51Z

I'm still not really sure why it solves the problem but since it seems to work I'm going to consider this issue solves, feel free to re-open if it comes up again!

After executing all commands it still says setup incomplete (mac) null-dev/firefox-profile-switcher#11
