macos firewall issues

[pjebs]

When I run CompileDaemon -exclude-dir=./container_data -exclude-dir=./.git -exclude-dir=./docker -exclude-dir=./migrations, my go app (local webserver) doesn't seem to work.

When I run go run . I get a macos firewall allow dialog. Once I click "allow", it works.

How can I get CompileDaemon to display the firewall dialog?

When I change it to CompileDaemon -exclude-dir=./container_data -exclude-dir=./.git -exclude-dir=./docker -exclude-dir=./migrations -command "go run ." -build="echo 'Running build command\!'",

The dialog opens up first time. I can click allow. But after a code change, CompileDaemon pauses at this stage:

2021/01/28 11:20:08 Running build command!
2021/01/28 11:20:08 Build ok.
2021/01/28 11:20:08 Hard stopping the current process..
2021/01/28 11:20:08 Restarting the given command.

No dialog is shown. The old version of the app is still running.

Sorry I cannot reproduce this as I don't have access to Mac OS X. What you could try is killing the process before making a change and see if the dialog opens up again.

How do I do that?

Nevermind, can you try using the command with the -command flag instead of go run? For example:

CompileDaemon -command=./myserver

This is still an issue.

CompileDaemon -command=./myserver

This is how I'm running it. Whatever's given to the -build and -command flags are run every time I make a change, but the changes are not taking effect.

I gave up using CompileDeamon. I'm not using any automatic compile application. Just go run . when I want to run.

And the problem disappears when you disable the firewall? Sorry, I still don't have a mac to reproduce this and there is little to no info as to why this could happen :/

Yes

A bit late to this party but if you are doing ListenAndServe() on a Mac with an address like 0.0.0.0:8080 or :8080 - macOS flags that as intrusive network snooping, hence the warning. Changing your listen address to localhost should solve this issue!

(I usually have a flag.String() to override and use ./goBinaryHere -host "0.0.0.0" in Docker environments, if that helps)
