Can you try with shell=True on the subprocess.Popen call?

[delor]

adb = subprocess.Popen(adb_command, stdin=PIPE, stdout=PIPE, stderr=PIPE, shell=True)

Pidcat exits without any output.

[JakeWharton]

subprocess was supposed to fix bugs, not introduce them. I'm getting more and more of my old Python chops back so I think we can actually stick with the old os.popen. I'll make the switch back tomorrow.

Thanks for the detailed reports.

copy adb to a location under the path, i copied it to /usr/bin and all worked well

Perform the following procedure to

start up a terminal and navigate to home directory cd create or open file. bash_profile vim. bash_profile

Add the following lines export PATH = $PATH:/ Users/username/custompath/adt-bundle-mac-x86/sdk/platform-tools /

save file and reload file ready!

[JakeWharton]

Is ~/.bashrc executed for every shell? Or just login shells? Can you try ~/.bash_profile instead?

With a21ee6e I no longer have this issue.

I had the same problem, removing the tilda in SDK Path location and putting an absolute Path (/Users/...) fixed the issue.
