Error file after restarting BMTP

[jordikt]

Please find enclosed the error file ‘hs_err_pid1551’.

This kind of error file is created everytime I restart Bome Midi Translator Pro (macOS 14.7.5 and BMTP 1.9.1 build 1064)

hs_err_pid1551.log (77.3 KB)

[SteveC (Steve)]

Hi, thanks for reporting this and sorry for the error. This is something that we have not seen before. Are you always opening the same Bome MIDI Translator Pro project file? If so, could you provide a copy of the project file?

I will ask our developer to look into it. I assume it does not generate a core dump because of this message:

# No core dump will be written. Core dumps have been disabled. To enable core dumping, try ‘ulimit -c unlimited’ before starting Java again

If you can follow those instructions to generate a core dump, that may also be helpful.

Also make sure you have given Bome MIDI Translator Pro permissions under System Setting->Privacy & Security->Accessibility.

If you can’t post some of this here, you can also send this via our contact form or via email.

@SteveC

Are you always opening the same Bome MIDI Translator Pro project file? If so, could you provide a copy of the project file?

I run BMTP with only one project file. When I do significant changes to this project file, I save it with a version number to go back if I need it.
My current project file is numbered as 9,4 (the one I send you now). The error log I have sent you is from this project file.

I have never done a core dump, so I would need some instructions to do that.

@SteveC

Also make sure you have given Bome MIDI Translator Pro permissions under System Setting->Privacy & Security->Accessibility.

Yes, BMTP has permissions to accessibility, to all disk, etc.

Thank you! Core dump instructions are here.

Do I send you the core dump files to bome@sniz.biz?

[SteveC (Steve)]

Probably contact dash form at bome dot com. But they will get to me either way.

Did you try opening any other project. Does the error still occur with a blank project file or any other project file? There are tons of other project files that you can download and test on this forum.

I see that your project has a lot of AppleScript and Apple has done a lot with changing permissions in newer versions of MacOS so maybe there are other permission issues tied to your version of MacOS. See this posting while we look into your issue.

Yes, I was at that thread. I did all processes to fix that issue. I confirm that I have no problems with applescript.

I didn’t try to open other projects. I will do it later and report feedback.

Thanks, that will likely help. I’ve forwarded the provided files for evaluation.

Hi, the following AppleScript errors are shown when opening your file. I can make sense of 3.x because I don’t have those apps on my Mac, but am concerned about 4.2, 4.3 and 6.1.

It’s weird. I have added one blank line to the applescripts of outgoing actions of 4.1,4.2, 4.3 and 6.1

I save the project. I load the project again and the blank lines are not saved.

[SteveC (Steve)]

Well actually it says it expects an EOL and gets a token instead so maybe something with the quotation marks or the character set used. I’ve seen this before but don’t remember how I fixed it as I am not a regular user of AppleScript.

I have added a comment to finish these scripts, but I wonder if it will work or it will still give the same error message.

i.e. this is how the 4.2 looks like now:

tell application "UFX+ Connection" to run
return 1

--blank line added

[SteveC (Steve)]

Yes, it may not be related but thought I would point it out anyway.

I think the errors are related. I think with newer version of MacOS, permissions to TCC.db have to be modified.

I found this post but could not follow it as I didn’t have access to TCC.db and couldn’t find out how to get permissions. Maybe you will have better luck.

In a nutshell, this seems toe be a MacOS permissions issue. Maybe check Reddit or discuss with Apple.

@FlorianBome

I think this is an apple permissions issue. Maybe you can figure it out. I couldn’t figure out how to give myself permissions to change TCC.db on my Mac Sequoia 15.4.1

[FlorianBome]

@jordikt

tell application "UFX+ Connection" to run
return 1

--blank line added

The " Expected end of line" error means that AppleScript expects an end of line in your code. How about this:

tell application "UFX+ Connection"
    to run
end tell
return 1

Not sure if you need the return 1 statement, but can’t hurt, I guess.

[jordikt]

tell application "Safari" to activate

is exactly the same than

tell application "Safari"
    activate
end tell

AppleScript does not expect any end of line in any of these structures. You can execute both codes in AppleScript Editor to run ‘Safari’ with no issues.

I use to finish all my AppleScripts with return something. I can remove the return 1. No problem.

That said, if you are sure that errors will be fixed if I change my AppleScripts in BMTP to the longest structure without return statements, I will do it.

But if BMTP is compiling and running AppleScripts as the AppleScript Editor does, I think this change will make no difference at all.

Is it possible that the compilation or the execution of AppleScripts inside BMTP is not understanding correctly the end of lines?

[jordikt]

@jordikt

Core dump files and project file sent via the contact form:

Florian, just FYI: I tried to send the core dump files using the contact form of the website before sending them by email.

The contact form did not accept any file with the .ips extension

[FlorianBome]

Thanks for all the further information. There are multiple issues:

AppleScript Error

Expected end of line but found identifier.

Re-reading this thread, it seems that this problem only occurred on Steves computer. I’m quite persuaded that it comes because Steve does not have "UFX+ Connection" installed. For more information, see for example this discussion. Sorry for derailing the discussion with my previous comment. I am not an AppleScript expert (just tried to help…).

@jordikt

But if BMTP is compiling and running AppleScripts as the AppleScript Editor does, I think this change will make no difference at all.

No, MIDI Translator runs them in a similar way as the osascript command, which may behave slightly different sometimes (e.g. regarding permissions, file paths, etc.).

@jordikt

Is it possible that the compilation or the execution of AppleScripts inside BMTP is not understanding correctly the end of lines?

Just to emphasize, there is no problem with end-of-lines in either your AppleScript code or MIDI Translator Pro’s handling of the scripts. AppleScript will report this error if it cannot find the application for the tell command.

Error file hs_err_pid...

@jordikt

This kind of error file is created everytime I restart Bome Midi Translator Pro (macOS 14.7.5 and BMTP 1.9.1 build 1064)

So are you saying that

1. You start MIDI Translator Pro
2. It starts up fine, but will also create this error file?

If so, this is strange behavior, because such hs_err_pid... files are crash files. But if MT Pro does start, I wonder where the crash is happening?

Questions:

• how do you start MT Pro? From the Finder, by double-clicking the icon on the desktop, by clicking its entry in the dock, from the Terminal?
• where do you find these hs_err_pid... files? in your user folder, on desktop, …?

Debugging start-up

Can you please start MT Pro from the terminal with the -debug parameter?
See here how to do that:

(Solved) Midi Translator Pro does not start on macOS 12.3

Hi Theo, thank you for the additional info and for the offer to test. You’re the second user who reported such a problem (not sure yet it’s the same cause). The strange thing is that for us, MT Pro runs fine on Apple Silicon with MacOS 12. So I’m not persuaded that it’s a problem of the bundled VM. Also, the VM starts first and it starts and controls the backend. So the VM is running to some degree on your system, too. Or do you have other evidence that this would be the root cause of the fre…

PS

@jordikt

The contact form did not accept any file with the .ips extension

It’s possible now. Dump files come in many different flavors and with different filename extensions… Thanks for sending them to us.

I have fixed the issue of the file that doesn’t exist.

Regarding the keystroke permission, it’s already allowed in the System Settings, I don’t understand why it says it’s disabled.

I don’t know what is the warning of the Secure coding disabled. Could you explain it?

Same for the sentence ‘MIDITranslatorPro[8657:545789] .sdef warning for argument “FileType” of command “save” in suite “Standard Suite”: “saveable file format” is not a valid type name’. What is this?
