4169 would not launch on Mac

#1

Sublime Text 4169 would not start on my Mac.

  • M1 Macbook Air
  • MacOS 14.2.1

Attempts to launch from the dock and from the Applications folder failed. Reboot fixed it.

If there’s a log somewhere, let me know where to look and I can report back what that says.

Same thing happens to me … Today was the 2nd time it occurred. The first time, I verified there were no processes running, removed all packages, reinstalled a plain 4169 binary and nada. Only a reboot fixed the issue. Today, I just rebooted.

If you launch Sublime Text from a terminal using ./Sublime\ Text.app/Contents/MacOS/sublime_text --debug you should get logs in the terminal.

@bschaaf,

Thanks so much … I created a link /usr/local/bin/subl that links to '/Applications/Sublime Text.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl'. In terminal, subl --debug didn’t seem to create or display any debug statements, but '/Applications/Sublime Text.app/Contents/MacOS/sublime_text' --debug did.

Can you tell me the difference between:

'/Applications/Sublime Text.app/Contents/MacOS/sublime_text'

and
'/Applications/Sublime Text.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl'

Thanks again

subl is a command line tool that launches and talks to Sublime Text. sublime_text is the application itself.
