[kitharoidos]

Describe the bug When building a Hoplon project, Boot fails with an error.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a project using the hoplon template
2. Run 'boot repl' in terminal

Expected behavior A REPL should be spawned.

Screenshots

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: macOS Big Sur on Apple Silicon (13'' MacBook Pro)

Version: 2.8.3 (installed with Homebrew)

OK, I found the problem, I believe:

https://github.com/boot-clj/boot/blob/master/boot/worker/third_party/barbarywatchservice/src/com/barbarysoftware/watchservice/WatchService.java

See the check for the minor macOS version from line 67 on. Big Sur is 11.1, hence the error.

I'd be happy to open a PR, however, it seems I'm missing permissions... I tried opening the PR against master.

I have the same issue. Is this going to be merged?

Feel free to use my fork in the meantime: https://github.com/kitharoidos/boot.

Also experiencing this issue

EDIT: After rereading realized I should build from master

[kitharoidos]

@flyboarder which branch should I open the PR against? I tried opening it against master but apparently I'm missing permissions...

@flyboarder Is there anything preventing merging of #766? It would be nice to have this fixed in the official repo for everyone.

[truppert-mdsol]

Are there any maintainers that can comment about this issue and its proposed solution? Is this repo still monitored and maintained?

[umair-homeserve]

Facing the same issue.

I'm also facing the same issue on Big Sur 11.4.

[jdeveloperw]

Thank you to everyone working on this issue! Following the previous recommendations, I was able to get boot working properly in Big Sur 11.4 by building locally following the Hacking Boot instructions.

I see a similar issue now that I have upgraded to Monterey

[Karkunow]

Have the same problems! Could anyone please make a new release for solving this bug?? So we won't need to re-build manually. Thanks!

[katya450]

Would be nice to get a fix for this for OS version 12 :)

[diszone]

Have the same issue. Is there any progress on homebrew?

[Karkunow]

@katya450 @diszone just re-build it manually as it is described in readme.md. Worked for me!

[katya450]

Yea, same. Works nicely when manually building it locally.

Still a problem when installing from Homebrew.

Still a problem when installing via Homebrew. Also it seems like the instructions for building it yourself are a bit off. I had to actually add boot's bin folder to the PATH before it would build.
