Monkey Forums/Monkey Bug Reports/No targets listed

Hi, I am brand new to Monkey. I got the pro license and fired up Monkey.app on OS X 10.7.5. I tried running a simple hello-world and noticed that nothing happened. The target dropdown (in Ted) is empty. Also, Build>Target... shows an empty textfield instead of a list. I tried entering html5, etc. to no avail. The log says:

"/Users/bhammond/Downloads/MonkeyPro68b/bin/transcc_macos" -target= -config=Release -run "/Users/bhammond/Desktop/test.monkey"
Done.

Notice -target= is blank.

Also, tried on v63b -- same result.

Thanks,
Brian

i haven't fired up my Mac in a while, but my guess is
1. check the Ted .ini file. It may be hidden in the app. check that the monkey install path is correct.
2. check the monkey/bin/config.macos.txt seems to have the right pathing in ut.

Thanks. Unfortunately, those files look correct. Perhaps something is missing though?

For what it's worth, I am loading Monkey.app first (not Ted.app directly).

I have not touched these files myself. Here is what is in MonkeyPro67f.

At least HTML5 apps should show up. And Xcode too if you have it installed.

Move Monkey to the Desktop for a test, delete the ini file and start Monkey again. I am on OSX 10.8.2 and never experienced these problems.

It looks to me like it is a permission problem somehow. Maybe you want to let the permissions being repaired on your system.

Yeah, it's strange. The list is literally empty.

I dove into the code for Ted and saw that it was trying to run /bin/transcc_$HOST (HOST=macos here).

I tried running that myself and it's not executable.

-rw-r--r-- 1 bhammond staff 1.7M Feb 21 16:12 ./bin/transcc_macos
   ^  ^  ^

The temporary fix is just:

chmod +x bin/transcc_macos

This should be done by the Monkey guys before packaging the 'Product update' zip files.

By the way, it's really nice that the code for Monkey, its modules and tools are available -- I just stumbled upon Ted's code and was pleasantly surprised. To be able to dive in and fix something like this is a godsend.

My guess is you've used a 3rd party unzip utility to extract the files, as opposed to Mac OS's built-in unzip utility - these do not appear to 'fix' exec permissions the way the built-in unzip does (I suspect it just chmod +x's everything!).

File permissions are still a bit of an issue - I *love* having everything in one package, but zip does not support file permissions. I think tar.gz does, but it's not as widely supported on Windows/Mac. But perhaps this is OK for 'updates'? More investigation required...

The Unarchiver is what I've used for years. First I've seen of this issue.

I just double click on the zip file and use the native unzipper of osx.
