java.sql.SQLException: Error opening connection

[YSaxon]

Opening a BinDiff file produces the following error:

java.sql.SQLException: Error opening connection

DETAILS

Starting from the Window->BinDiffHelper->Open File window, if I select another file to Diff with, it successfully does the diffing (as recorded in the log), and then throws the error (see below), and if instead I try Use External BinDiff file, then it just throws the exception right away.

I get the same issue on Ghidra 11

I get the same issue on Ghidra 11

Are you on MacOS, too?

I get the same issue on Ghidra 11

Are you on MacOS, too?

Yes, it is on MacOS as well. The architecture is the same.

I get this too using Ghidra 11, MacOS on an ARM M1.

Any workaround?

[ubfx]

Unfortunately I have no access to a Mac which is why I wasn't able to reproduce this. But I read here, that M1 support was not available in the older versions of the sqlite driver. I built a version of the plugin with the newest version of sqlite-jdbc, maybe one of you on Apple Silicon can give it a try and if that solves the problem, I'll make a proper release.

It does indeed works! Thanks for the update :)
