This has been an issue for a long time for me, and I've been too lazy to post about it because it isn't a huge deal for me.

I remember in the past another Mac user reporting this issue, and the fix was specifying the application name, but I looked at the source and it was spelled correctly. I'm no programmer though, and the error in the console/log doesn't say the exact path it was trying. jUU has always found my CharacterProfiler.lua just fine so I know WoW folder settings are correct.

I did notice in the source that the WoW launcher for Mac isn't right, so I don't know if the reason telling jUU to use the launcher fails is because of this or the same reason it won't launch WoW direclty. The launcher should be:

Code: Select all

World of Warcraft Launcher.app

FWIW, here's the error:

Code: Select all

[ WARNING | 121:java.awt.EventDispatchThread.run() ]-
 #  World of Warcraft could not be found!

Are you using the WoW Launcher (option turned on in the config)?

I've fixed the filename for the wow launcher, thanks for reporting this. If problems still occur after restarting jUU (it should automatically update itself), report back.

By the way, do you have this file in your WoW directory?
'World of Warcraft.app' (properly capitalized and spaced)

If so, is it a regular file or is it a symlink or anything special like that?

A nice guide to getting the uniadmin settings and then the juniuploader to work together would nice. I had uniadmin installed and I never could seem to get it to update my roster with it. I am sure it was the settings in the admin app on my web server.

Oh and the last time I had juniuploader installed it wouldnt launch WOW on my Mac as well.

Do you still suffer this problem of not being able to start WoW (if you're still using jUU, that is)?

If so, please provide some details so I may fix the issues for other Mac users and yourself

The updated jUU still doesn't launch WoW or the WoW launcher.

Applications on Mac OS X are actually bundles that look like folders to the CLI, and to the Java file browser that comes up to find the WoW parent folder in jUU. From the GUI, you can get an option to "show package contents."

The OS X CLI has a command called "open" that can launch applications. So I could type this to launch it:

Code: Select all

open /Applications/World\ of\ Warcraft/World\ of\ Warcraft.app

or

Code: Select all

open "/Applications/World of Warcraft/World of Warcraft.app"

How to handle launching OS X application packages in Java code, I know not, but maybe you could make use of a call to the CLI?

Wonderful help, thanks a lot. Am I to assume your WoW folder in this example is "/Applications/World of Warcraft/"?
Is it also correct to assume this would also work?

cd "/Applications/World of Warcraft"
open "World of Warcraft.app"

Yep, that would work.

Where is the 'open' executable located?

Perhaps in one of these?
/usr/bin
/bin

You might try ''which open'' in a terminal.

Full path is:

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/open

And after posting this I fired up 0.9.14.9 and it was able to launch WoW just fine, so your guess in the code was good.
