Operating system

Expected behaviour
Fig was previously giving me errors so I tried a fresh installation. I thought it would start up correctly and start doing autocomplete after I finished the setup process and restarted my terminal.
Actual behaviour
The fig command displays:
error: Could not launch fig
fig doctor shows:
Fig socket exists: Fig socket parent directory does not exist
Path: /var/tmp/fig/jonathanmilligan/fig.socket
Attempting to fix automatically...
Failed to fix: Permission denied (os error 13)
Trying to restart fig simply says:
error: Unable to restart Fig
A quick search on the internet shows that it's a permissions problem. Fig isn't able to access its files because the parent director of the fig.socket file didn't exist. I checked /var/tmp/fig/ and didn't find the directory it was looking for. Even after manually creating the required directory fig doctor now just shows:
Fig socket exists: Fig socket missing

Restarting Fig
Failed to fix: Unable to restart Fig
If someone could explain to me how this could have happened with a fresh installation of Fig I would be very grateful. Thanks!
This issue references the same problem but a restart did not work for me.
Steps to reproduce
I reinstalled Fig with Homebrew and restarted my computer but got the exact same error.

It seems like you may have installed Fig from your "admin" account? Is this possible?
(We should create this folder with different permissions by default cc @grant0417 )
No, I definitely installed Fig with my "jonathanmilligan" user account. I also signed in the "admin" account which might of overwritten the folder permissions (just brainstorming) but Fig was installed from my user account.
Hi, I also have this issue. Fig is basically nonfunctioning, although I can open the dashboard and menubar options. I have two users on my machine.
- First, I did what @realprogrammersusevim did and tried to manually create the directory that was supposedly missing: that didn't work.
- Then I actually (manually) uninstalled fig and reinstalled it, but that didn't help.
- Rebooting hasn't helped either.

Well, I don't know what happened but after updating to macOS Ventura, it's now suddenly working...
I had this issue after updating to Ventura. I do have multiple accounts.
Taking into account @mschrage suggestion I went to
/var/tmp/fig
and made a copy of the existing folder belonging to one of the accounts and changed its name to match the name of the other account in my system in order have one folder matching each account name.
After that ran fig doctor and it fixed the issue for me.
Not sure if this is safe or correct but it did the trick.
Having this issue in 2024 under the new "Code Whisperer" name, for me there is no /var/tmp/fig. In fact the only folder under tmp is com.apple.wifianalyticsd.
