Error Installation on M1 Air: yabai: scripting-addition failed to inject payload into Dock.app!
Hi, I followed the Mac thread and have tried everything! But can't seem to get it working. Everything works except the spaces.
Anyone have any ideas?
I'm still having issues, even after following @Tweoss steps
I get this error:
$ sudo yabai --load-sa
could not spawn remote thread: (os/kern) invalid argument
yabai: scripting-addition failed to inject payload into Dock.app!

Any ideas?
Make sure that the terminal/shell you are running is an arm binary, and not an x86-64 binary running through Rosetta 2.
Got this error too using both os x default terminal and iTerm. The "Open with Rosetta" was unticked in both cases.
$ sudo yabai --load-sa
could not spawn remote thread: (os/kern) invalid argument
yabai: scripting-addition failed to inject payload into Dock.app!
I am not sure which specific error it is in your case, but this message is either caused by an architecture mismatch, or because the following flag (on Apple Silicon) has not been set properly :
# Open a terminal and run the below command, then reboot
sudo nvram boot-args=-arm64e_preview_abi
If you are certain that none of the above is the case, you can also try to fully disable SIP (from recovery): csrutil disable.
Last time I tested I could use the partial disabling command listed in the wiki, but maybe this changed in Monterey 12.3.1.
My bad, I don' t have exactly the same issue:
sudo yabai --load-sa
could not retrieve task port for pid: 6658
yabai: scripting-addition failed to inject payload into Dock.app!
The process is Dock.app:
ps ax | grep 6658
6658 ?? S 0:00.31 /System/Library/CoreServices/Dock.app/Contents/MacOS/Dock
SIP is disabled:
csrutil status
System Integrity Protection status: disabled.
Are you running from a sandboxed environment, like Nix or something? I have never gotten that error message myself as long as SIP is disabled.
solved it using sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.security.libraryvalidation.plist DisableLibraryValidation -bool true
Hm I don't remember ever having to turn off library validation. Will need to check my system if it for some reason is disabled??
I use Xtrafinder and during the installation it is asked to do so to enable loading script-additions. Just after doing that, I had no issue loading the SA for yabai.
I'm also having the same issue and have confirmed boot-args are set properly and that the terminal is an arm binary. Could anything else be causing this error:
$ sudo yabai --load-sa
could not spawn remote thread: (os/kern) invalid argument
yabai: scripting-addition failed to inject payload into Dock.app!
I'm getting the following:
~ ❯ sudo yabai --load-sa
sh: /Library/ScriptingAdditions/yabai.osax/Contents/MacOS/mach_loader: No such file or directory
yabai: scripting-addition failed to inject payload into Dock.app!
I had issues on 11.3 (didn't check the error message but had the same problems) and 12.3.
I'm getting the following:
~ ❯ sudo yabai --load-sa sh: /Library/ScriptingAdditions/yabai.osax/Contents/MacOS/mach_loader: No such file or directory yabai: scripting-addition failed to inject payload into Dock.app!I had issues on 11.3 (didn't check the error message but had the same problems) and 12.3.
I see the same error:

fixed by sudo nvram boot-args=-arm64e_preview_abi
i has a similar issue and the problem was that the yabai service in homebrew was not started. once i started it with
brew services start yabai sudo yabai --load-sa
everything worked as expected :)
