Error: spawn EACCES

[Michael Maffattone]

I have this running properly on localhost:8888, I can use the tool, but when I hit "Generate", I get this error in the browser (in html under the loading gif):

{"status":"error","numFrames":285,"error":{"code":"EACCES","errno":"EACCES","syscall":"spawn"}}

and I get this error in my console:

`/Users/michaelmaffattone/Documents/Dev/audiogram-generator/audiogram/bin/worker:40
throw err;
^

Any ideas?

This is probably a file permissions error. I'm guess you will also get an error if you run:

/Users/michaelmaffattone/Documents/Dev/audiogram-generator/audiogram/node_modules/waveform/build/Release/waveform

One possible solution is to make sure you have executable privileges on the file:

sudo chmod go+x /Users/michaelmaffattone/Documents/Dev/audiogram-generator/audiogram/node_modules/waveform/build/Release/waveform

But you might run into a similar error later, in which case, rinse/repeat.

You may also need to ensure you own all of the Audiogram files:

sudo chown -R `whoami` /Users/michaelmaffattone/Documents/Dev/audiogram-generator/

@veltman - thank you. Saw this this morning and I've been working on trying to get this to work all day, still no luck though. I believe all my permissions are correct.

It seems like the issue is that when the audio file is generated in

audiogram/tmp/23f33470-5a7a-11e6-bf6d-f3329f438b47/audio

that new file doesn't have the proper permissions.

Here's what I see when I ls -al on the directory:

-rw-r--r--   1 michaelmaffattone  staff  6431600 Aug  4 15:27 audio
-rw-r--r--   1 michaelmaffattone  staff   121865 Aug  4 15:27 audio-trimmed.mp3

Still not sure why this was broken, but I was able to get the application working by just going through the installation instructions in a new directory.

Were there any strange characters or spaces in the old folder name, by any chance?
