Cant run on OS X

[ravagernl]

I can't seem to run Minion on OS X. It bounces on the dock and then just shuts down. After reviewing the console, I found this:

15-07-14 01:46:05,850 Minion[948]: [JRSAppKitAWT markAppIsDaemon]: Process manager already initialized: can't fully enable headless mode.
15-07-14 01:46:07,061 com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[304]: (com.zam.minion.minion.110560[948]) Exited with code: 1

I'm running 10.9.4.

EDIT: checking to see if it works after installing java 7: nope.
EDIT2: checking to see if it works with java 6(apple dist): nope.
EDIT3: checking with java 8: nope.

What version of java is minion running at?

Thanks for the console log. The first line is normal, the 2nd line is strange? Is minion writing anything to ~/.minion/minion0.log? Try deleting from the app folder and re-installing?

Minion runs inside a JVM (does not require java installed on your machine, thats why the download is kinda large) it runs on a version of Java7.

Did you get the prompt about Minion was download from an unidentified developer? If you open your application folder, right click on Minion and choose "Open" do you get a prompt allow Minion to run even though its from an unidentified developer?


I'm running 10.9.4 my self on both my desktop and laptop and my laptop is stock 10.9.4 with out any developer tools installed.

Have you tried making sure Minion isnt running and launching again? Talking with our java programmer he said one of the errors was due to Minion restarting too fast after an Update? Was Minion working and then you ran the update and now its not?

If its still not working can you run this via Terminal?

java -jar /Applications/Minion.app/Contents/Java/Minion-jfx.jar

Does Minion load? If not what is the output from the Terminal?

Funny, I was just about to try that JavaFX Launcher is rambling about having an outdated java version, even tho I now have version 7.

EDIT: installed JDK 7u60

objc[6288]: Class JavaLaunchHelper is implemented in both /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_60.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java and /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_60.jdk/Contents/Home/jre/lib/jli/./libjli.dylib. One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined.

Talking with our java programmer, he was wondering if there was some network or other setting overrides in java on your system for that account? Could you login to a new account on your OSX machine and try to launch Minion? If it works do you have any .java .jmeter, etc folders with settings in your home directory on your main account?

What do your network settings look like under the system preferences? (see picture) Although different settings here shouldn't cause Minion to crash.
