Sublime merge not opening in mac os

#1

Hi,
I have downloaded latest version of the sublime merge : Version Build 2055.
OS version : mac OS Catalina10.15.3

Steps I used.

  1. Downloaded zip file from the website.
  2. Extracted sublime-merge
  3. Move sublime-merge to Application
  4. When I run the app. Getting an error message as The application “Sublime Merge” can’t be opened.

Can some one help in this issue. Thanks in advance.

Did you use finder to extract and move the application?

Can you confirm if it fails when you right click the .zip file and choose Open With > Archive Utility & run SM?

Well, that’s just strange. Some ideas to try out:

  1. does redownloading work?
  2. does the ?⃝ in your original image have any useful information?
  3. what happens when you run open -a /Applications/Sublime\ Merge.app in Terminal? (change path if needed)
  4. what’s the md5 checksum of the zip file you downloaded?
    • freshly downloaded (dev build 2055) on my machine & verified working: fff333fedb0ede4ec5130537648bb964
  5. does the latest stable build work?

Hi srbs,
Thanks for reverting back,

I have downloaded build 2056
After the extract in terminal I try to open as your provided command

open -a Sublime\ Merge.app

which will give error as

LSOpenURLsWithRole() failed for the application Sublime Merge.app with error -10810.

Sounds like SM is currently quarantined by macOS. Try this:

If not, this may work for you:

Hi Srbs,

That to doesn’t helped, but from your suggestion I got the solution.
which is very simple.

Install it using brew

brew install sublime-merge

:sweat_smile::grin::grimacing:

Thank you so much for all your efforts you have taken to helping me in solving the issue.:beers:
