If I can get a reliable big report that would help. I use M1 exclusively now but on Rosetta mode (because there are just so many inconveniences otherwise)

if this was a reply for https://pact-foundation.slack.com/archives/C9UTHTFFB/p1661444633201449, then what sort of information would be help? eg, what a big report?

If I can get a reliable big report that would help.

I think: • A dump of the go environment • A report of what the

pact go install

command returns with verbose enabled (try removing the

~/.pact

dir and any existing lib) • Try also a

file /use/local/lib/libpact_ffi.dylib

hey matt, i'll write up some instructions for our developer to try and reproduce. however, while running on my mac, i noticed this error

2022/08/25 16:18:11 [ERROR] Your Pact library installation is out of date and we were unable to download a newer one for you: open /Users/me/.pact/pact-go.yml: permission denied

curious if this line s/b

0755

instead. i dont think this relates to the underlying problem tho. just an annoying error instead

good spot, it probably should!

here's some more info without having rerun pact go install

sudo file /usr/local/lib/libpact_ffi.dylib

there is a

-f

flag I think to force the reinstall

more info on install

my none m1 mac is

Strange that

/usr/local/lib/libpact_ffi.dylib

is root -

/usr/local/lib

is editable by me on my M1 and I’m positive I haven’t changed those perms from the default. Did you run the install with

sudo

or manually drop the file there?

the instructions i passed off to developers did not include

sudo

, they have since tried using that as well
