CLAP plugin failed to scan on REAPER with Apple Silicon CPU

Question

CLAP plugin failed to scan on REAPER with Apple Silicon CPU

Steps to reproduce:

Download Dexed 0.9.7 Nightly.
xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine Dexed_artefacts to make sure macOS doesn’t enforce binary signature.
Copy Dexed_artefacts/Debug/CLAP/Dexed.clap to ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/CLAP/.
Start REAPER.
Choose Options → Settings → Plug-ins → LV2/CLAP → CLAP plug-in settings → Re-scan/Info.
Choose “Clear cache and re-scan CLAP paths for all plug-ins”.

What to expect:

Dexed is successfully added to REPAER.

What I observed:

REAPER lists Dexed as “Plug-ins that failed to scan”.

Additional info:

Dexed version: 0.9.7 Nightly (2022-07-13)
REAPER version: v6.78/macOS-arm64 (2023-03-14)
OS version: macOS Ventura 13.3.1
CPU Chip: Apple M1 Max

Please test this with latest dexed release :

https://github.com/asb2m10/dexed/releases/tag/v0.9.7pre4

Thanks for the fix.

One good news & one bad news:

The bug is fixed. REAPER can load Dexed as CLAP plugin now.
The installation reports as “failure”. (It is actually successful.)

Is it possible to run the installer again to see if you have the issue ? If not, you should have a better explanation in /var/log/install.log and anything useful in that log file could give us some hints.

Seems the error is here:

2024-07-11 04:23:02+00 localhost package_script_service[72315]: PackageKit: Executing script "postinstall" in /tmp/PKInstallSandbox.IHr2i1/Scripts/com.digitalsuburban.dexed.app.pkg.kIeRuw
2024-07-11 04:23:02+00 localhost package_script_service[72315]: ./postinstall: chown: asb2m10: illegal user name

Looks like the installation script hardcoded the user name.

Pascal Gauthier · Answer 6 · Thu Jul 11 2024 12:37:46 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Great catch ! The original script goes like this:

mkdir $TMPDIR/AppResourcesPackageScript
cat > $TMPDIR/AppResourcesPackageScript/postinstall << PIEND
#!/bin/bash
rsync -r -p --delete "/tmp/dsgb-install/$APP" /Applications
chown -R $USER:staff "/Applications/$APP";
#rm -rf /tmp/dsgb-install
PIEND

The $USER gets evaluated on my machine and should be escaped so it should be "evaluated" on your machine. I will see what I can do and keep you posted.

Star Brilliant · Answer 7 · Thu Jul 11 2024 12:41:30 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

I guess changing $USER to \$USER should fix it.
(And perhaps also $APP to \$APP depending on where you want it to be evaluated.)

I've update the installation: https://github.com/asb2m10/dexed/releases/download/v0.9.7pre4/dexed-0.9.7pre4-macos.zip

Please test this if it works on your end !
