Repository navigation
fails to open console in the current directory #460
Description
Gitx 1.0.2925 [arm]:
- a click on the Console button does not open the console (terminal) on my mac M3
- if there is a console app open, Gitx does make the console the front window, but it does not change the console's current directory
PS. Thank you for keeping Gitx alive and functioning!

It looks like that's not a general problem, because on my side it works properly.
Ok, this doesn't help you.

It works nicely on my old intel MacBook Pro with
Gitx 1.0.2925 [i386], both from theRepositorymenu and from theConsolebutton, and it runsgit status, just like in your demo video.Are there any logs (to be turned on?) that might indicate what's happening (or not) on my new arm64 MacBook Pro?
Thanks

I use an arm64 as well. (Without this issue) This means that the issue is located on your machine.
As far as I know, there is no log to turn on.
Unfortunately I'm the wrong person to ask, I've no experience with Mac development at all, I just did the pipeline and the move to arm64.
But you could have a look on the code, and/or debug it. I know it's very time consuming....

I might take a look inside Gitx

I made a local build of
gitxfrom49b8a044 (origin/master, origin/HEAD, master)(2025-05-11 22:09:23 +0200)(Hannes Achleitner)Merge pull request #476 from gitx/MultiArchRunner,and it does open the console on the button click.
It did pop up a dialog asking the permission to do so, in the first run.
Moreover, my installed
Gitx 1.0.2925now also does this, so my issue was probably due to some obscure setting on my Mac.hannesa2 commentedon Jun 24, 2025
