Mulet + gaia for OSX

Novski · September 2, 2016, 4:04pm

I have followed this https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/B2G_OS/Developing_Gaia/Different_ways_to_run_Gaia#Using_Gaia_in_Firefox_Mulet until point 3. make mulet gave a error:

> Makefile:167: NO_FTU_PING=1
> # TODO: Get rid of references to gaia-node-modules stuff.
> install
> usage: install [-bCcpSsv] [-B suffix] [-f flags] [-g group] [-m mode]
>                [-o owner] file1 file2
>        install [-bCcpSsv] [-B suffix] [-f flags] [-g group] [-m mode]
>                [-o owner] file1 ... fileN directory
>        install -d [-v] [-g group] [-m mode] [-o owner] directory ...
> make: *** [node_modules] Error 64

so i whent further with the point 3.1 by downloading this file: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/b2g/nightly/latest-mozilla-central/firefox-49.0a1.en-US.mac64.dmg

then symlinking profile with a osx “alias”

and running by pointing towards the app i downloaded and the profile i symlinked but that always gave out the error in the “Note” of the tutorial im following liked at the top…
"A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time."
But there is no other Firefox running…

I added sudo befor and then it opened firefox and a black screen apeared.
this is the last errorcode :

*** AUS:SVC UpdateService:onError - error during background update. error code: 1400, status text: Update XML file not found (404)

I remember @m.ducorps reported black screen as well.
And i read here about a problem i don’t understand: https://discourse.mozilla-community.org/t/mulet-gaia-for-linux/10375/2?u=novski

how can i fix that for OSX users?

That is not a good idea. There is no good reason to run Firefox as root …

That is probably a symptom of your profile. You should check if there’s a lock file inside. But the best way would be to fix the error you have above.

lissyx · September 2, 2016, 4:36pm

That seems very bad. What version of NPM do you have ? Can you give us the whole log ?

NONE!
i didn’t had node installed. And the Page you posted isn’t the page i looked to. Its a mess. This MDN realy makes me upset… Half of my issues cold be steped over in seconds if the documents wold be made tight and complet. I think i will have to rethink and come up with a solution that has a red line, soon…

Sadly node.js and osx is my limit :-/ it’s not something I can help at all.

I was able to fix it. I had to login!
npm whoami gives out the error and the helpful line: npm adduser
then i was able to successfuly build with make mulet
and now i still have the two problems that with sudo it opens firefox but its black.
Without sudo it echos a other version of firefox is already open…

Can you explane that?

What does that mean?

I also tried to downgrade my node to 4.4.7 as i use in my linux build vm. same

for history i did this by installing nvm with

brew install nvm

and adding the two lines in the description.
then i was able to install with

nvm install 4.4.7

and

nvm use 4.4.7

to activate it.

nvm ls

lists the installed versions and makes the active one with “–>”

lissyx · September 2, 2016, 9:50pm

I would really advise you to |make clean| in gaia and then |make profile|.

From there you should be able to firefox -no-remote -profile
path/to/gaia/profile

It is possible the profile you have has a lock file already.

I did that and then started with:

Firefox/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -no-remote -profile /profile/ | tee mulet.log

but that gave this error:

Then during writing this post i noticed that the path may be wrong and tried like that:

Firefox/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -no-remote -profile profile/ | tee mulet.log

Did you notice there is no backslash bevor profile/
And that workded.

Thanks for your help @lissyx!

summary on how to install mulet for OSX

OSX El Capitan (10.11.6)

Install Homebrew
Install Node
Install Node Version Manager
Fetch the gaia code
Make profile
Make Mulet
Execute Mulet

Install Homebrew

$ xcode-select --install
$ ruby -e “$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)”
$ brew update
Add this line to
export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"

Install Node

$ brew install node
$ node -v
$ npm -v

Install Node Version Manager

$ brew install nvm
$ nvm ls

If not in the list:

$ nvm install 4.4.7

Then use it:

$ nvm use 4.4.7

make working directory for nvm:

mkdir ~/.nvm’

open the file:

vim ~/.bash_profile

type “i” on the keyboard so in the left lower corner --Insert-- apears
and add this line:

export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm”’ '. “$(brew --prefix nvm)/nvm.sh”

then press “esc” and “:wq” to escape insertion mode and write and quite at the same time.

now check if version is taken with:

nvm ls

if that prints a few lines and the top one looks like this:

-> v4.4.7
system
default -> 4.4.7 (-> v4.4.7)
node -> stable (-> v4.4.7) (default)
stable -> 4.4 (-> v4.4.7) (default)
iojs -> N/A (default)
lts/* -> lts/argon (-> N/A)
lts/argon -> v4.5.0 (-> N/A)

then carry on…

##Fetch the Gaia code

$ cd Documents - or to the directory you wold like to locate the mulet
:gaia ‘user’$ git clone https://github.com/your-username/gaia.git && cd gaia
:gaia ‘user’$ git remote add upstream https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia
:gaia ‘user’$ npm config set python python2
:gaia ‘user’$ make
##Make profile
:gaia ‘user’$ make profile
##Make Mulet
:gaia ‘user’$ make mulet
##Execute Mulet
:gaia ‘user’$ Firefox/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -no-remote -profile profile/

Everything you called “errors” like:

are just debug logs, not errors.
