Sonic Pi v4.5.x "GUI was unable to connect to the Ruby server" #3370

Xigility · 2024-02-08T10:55:54Z

This has been a long term issue for me - starting from any v4.x.x version whenever I try to load Sonic Pi this error shows up - been stuck on v3.3.1 Beamer for any projects I wanted to do for a good year.

Boot error message below (indicated by hyphens - ):

Apologies, unable to start...

[GUI] - Critical Error. Unable to connect to server..

[GUI] - Sonic Pi Server failed to start with this error message:

P.S. extra sadness because what if I wanted to try out the new in-built 808 and gabberkicks but god said "Boot Daemon could not be started!" :(

rbnpi · 2024-02-08T11:28:23Z

I'm slightly confused. The zip log files you submitted are for version 3.3.1 running. The logs shown on the issue show version 4.5 attempting to start, but having difficulty accessing the boot daemon.
Is your Mac intel based or running Apple silicon?
For now I would isolate version 3.3.1 by temporarily renaming your ~/.sonic-pi folder to say ~/.sonic-piOLD
It's worth restarting your machine, then trying to start 4.5 (it should create a new ~/.sonic-pi folder and contents.
Also you have quite a log of external audio devices connected. Till you get things going I would unplug these and disconnect your iphone from the computer. Just go bog standard Mac speaker output and built in mic input.
Report back how it goes. It is useful to include the new zipped log files if it doesn't work.

[GUI] - Critical Error. Unable to connect to server..

[GUI] - Sonic Pi Server failed to start with this error message:
> The Boot Daemon could not be started!

Mac is Silicon based. Error message above was generated with only essential audio I/Os.

New log below:

log 2.zip

afaik the log only contains a .writetest file and the gui.log that looked really similar to the error message above.

rbnpi · 2024-02-08T16:30:15Z

I've seen a very similar issue #3272 raised by another user. You both get invalid argument errors from the daemon, and you both are using System en_HK I wonder if this is the cause of the problem. The API is not able to start the daemon properly and gives the error message. I think this is one for @samaaron to look at.

samaaron · 2024-02-08T18:04:47Z

Thanks for looking at this Robin.

@Xigility could you temporarily change the system language to uk or us English, reboot and see if that fixes things?

Xigility · 2024-02-09T05:41:34Z

@samaaron weird - I had 6 languages on my system - UK English (Primary), US English, Chinese Traditional (Hong Kong), Cantonese and two unmarked English. I tried removing the two unmarked ones in hopes of them being en_HK but to no avail. Followed the instructions on the Apple official website too.

Also got rid of an unmarked English keyboard input just in case that is en_HK. Still didn't work.

Did a bit of searching and didn't see any mentions of removing/changing system_language - I had thought General > Language and Region in my System Settings would do the trick but apparently not? Please let me know if there is a way to just nuke en_HK from my sys cause don't think I can or know how to disable/change it.

Anyways, probably meaningless but still rebooted the Mac, then Sonic Pi 4.5.0 and then the same Boot Daemon error:

The HK lang thing was just a guess - it may or may not be related. To be honest I would be surprised if it was.

Taking another tack, could you try running this in the terminal and let me know what it does/prints out:

'/Applications/Sonic Pi 4.5.0.app/Contents/Resources/app/server/native/ruby/bin/ruby' '/Applications/Sonic Pi 4.5.0.app/Contents/Resources/app/server/ruby/bin/clear-logs.rb'

Xigility · 2024-02-11T18:37:20Z

Hi @samaaron, sorry for the lack of updates for the past 2 days - work was tough.

put your terminal command in from a fresh reboot and it prints, without any other action:

:ok

hope this helps!

samaaron · 2024-02-21T11:41:35Z

OK, that's a good sign - that at least appears to have worked!

How about trying this:

'/Applications/Sonic Pi 4.5.0.app/Contents/Resources/app/server/native/ruby/bin/ruby' '/Applications/Sonic Pi 4.5.0.app/Contents/Resources/app/server/ruby/bin/daemon.rb --no-scsynth-inputs'

Xigility · 2024-02-29T14:26:36Z

@samaaron well here we go think this might be a hit:

when copied and ran command in terminal, returned:

/Applications/Sonic Pi 4.5.0.app/Contents/Resources/app/server/native/ruby/bin/ruby: No such file or directory -- /Applications/Sonic Pi 4.5.0.app/Contents/Resources/app/server/ruby/bin/daemon.rb --no-scsynth-inputs (LoadError)

EDIT: P.S. sorry for the late reply, been busy for a bit again and haven't been keeping a close eye to GitHub. orz

samaaron · 2024-03-01T09:17:20Z

Oops, I think I put the quotes in the wrong place. Could you try this:

'/Applications/Sonic Pi 4.5.0.app/Contents/Resources/app/server/native/ruby/bin/ruby' '/Applications/Sonic Pi 4.5.0.app/Contents/Resources/app/server/ruby/bin/daemon.rb' --no-scsynth-inputs

Xigility · 2024-03-07T19:57:42Z

Hi @samaaron , again was busy due to work but got back to this.

Put it in terminal, it asked for Microphone access which I allowed, then returned this:

32717 32712 32711 32713 4560 32714 32716 1875216177

hope this helps!

Xigility · 2024-03-27T19:36:24Z

Hello @samaaron , thanks for the help before, it's been a while - just wondering if there's anything new regarding this issue?

samaaron · 2024-04-28T22:50:16Z

Hi, could you try the recently released v4.5.1 and let me know if that helps things?

https://github.com/sonic-pi-net/sonic-pi/releases/tag/v4.5.1

Xigility · 2024-05-02T13:06:58Z

@samaaron Sorry for the late reply, and incoming bad news...

Nope! Still the same boot daemon error ｡ﾟヽ(ﾟ´Д｀)ﾉﾟ｡

Apologies, unable to start...

[GUI] - Critical Error. Unable to connect to server..

[GUI] - Sonic Pi Server failed to start with this error message:
> The Boot Daemon could not be started!

the only thing in the .sonic-pi log is the gui.log file which is listed in the crash report.

Changed title of the issue thread for clarity that it doesn't work on 4.5.x.

samaaron · 2024-05-02T20:31:42Z

Hi, just for sanity can you verify that your Mac is a recent Mac running an M-based Apple Silicon chip and that you have specifically downloaded the Apple Silicon release which has the filename: Sonic-Pi-for-Mac-arm64-v4-5-1.dmg

jslabovitz · 2024-05-03T01:58:49Z

I'm having the same issue. When I run the daemon.rb file, the start of the exception says:

<internal:/Applications/Sonic Pi.app/Contents/Resources/app/server/native/ruby/lib/ruby/3.3.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb>:136:in `require': cannot load such file -- racc/parser.rb (LoadError)

So maybe the package is missing some files?

jslabovitz · 2024-05-03T02:03:26Z

Sorry, it's probably more helpful if I include the whole backtrace — looks like it might be a problem with the tomlrb gem:

Xigility · 2024-05-03T07:15:08Z

@samaaron My MacBook’s a 14-inch from 2023 running M2 Pro chip

Pretty sure I’ve got the right installer too.

And the installer gives me this

@jslabovitz your daemon.rb and backtrace indicates you’re using 3.3.0 - try backing up and wiping logs and then load 4.5.1? Logs should be in ~/.sonic-pi as a hidden folder.

samaaron · 2024-05-03T07:55:18Z

@Xigility the 3.3.0 in @jslabovitz's comment refers to the major Ruby version not the Sonic Pi version.

Not sure what's going on with your issue though - I use exactly the same Mac and I've tested it personally on a few others and other than @jslabovitz's issue I've only seen people use it successfully. Quite strange.

samaaron · 2024-05-03T08:01:42Z

@jslabovitz Could you let me know the contents of this directory:

ls "/Applications/Sonic Pi.app/Contents/Resources/app/server/native/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/3.3.0/gems/racc-1.7.3/lib"

Xigility · 2024-05-03T08:22:20Z

@samaaron Whoops sorry for mistaking the major ruby ver for sonic pi ver! But…

When you mentioned Ruby version that got me thinking…

Ain’t got time to explain in detail but maybe Ruby version mismatch? Found a Ruby folder in my hard drive Library and that’s 2.6.0 so maybe that (what’s inside looks quite similar to the 3.3.0 inside Sonic Pi) - I’m guessing the gem subfolder inside Sonic Pi doesn’t show up until a successful boot.

samaaron · 2024-05-03T08:27:45Z

It shouldn't be a problem - Sonic Pi contains its own version of Ruby which is isolated from any system installed version.

The claim of being isolated is reinforced when I run the following code in my version of Sonic Pi:

$LOAD_PATH.each do |p|
  puts p
end

Which returns:

samaaron · 2024-05-03T08:39:37Z

@Xigility completely obscure thought. Do you have the following file on your machine:

"/Users/sam/.sonic-pi/log/tau_stdouterr.log"

If not, could you try running

touch "/Users/sam/.sonic-pi/log/tau_stdouterr.log"

and see if that somehow improves things?

samaaron · 2024-05-03T09:11:30Z

@Xigility Could you also try running the following and let me know what gets printed to the terminal:

MIX_ENV=prod SECRET_KEY_BASE=sldkfjsdlfjsdfls '/Applications/Sonic Pi.app/Contents/Resources/server/beam/tau/_build/prod/rel/tau/bin/tau' start

Xigility · 2024-05-03T19:04:14Z

@samaaron Sorry, just got off work.

the first one I didn't find that log, and touch command returned:

touch: /Users/sam/.sonic-pi/log/tau_stdouterr.log: No such file or directory

the second one prints:

zsh: no such file or directory: /Applications/Sonic Pi.app/Contents/Resources/server/beam/tau/_build/prod/rel/tau/bin/tau

Which is weird because when I followed the path for the second one I can actually find the tau exec file so... dunno what's going on there

samaaron · 2024-05-03T19:11:11Z

@Xigility - oops, I meant:

touch: ~/.sonic-pi/log/tau_stdouterr.log

Pretty sure that won't do much though.

Also, very weird that the tau directory doesn't exist. Do you have this directory:

/Applications/Sonic Pi.app/Contents/Resources/server/beam/tau/

If so, could you keep drilling down to that _build/prod/rel/tau/bin/tau directory and see how far you get before the next directory doesn't exist.

Xigility · 2024-05-03T19:18:50Z

@samaaron Apparently, my brain forgot to replace the username - touch command now generated an empty log file of the specified name.
EDIT: returned nothing

I got as far as /Applications/Sonic Pi.app/Contents/Resources/server/beam/tau/_build/prod/rel/tau/bin/. After bin comes tau as a unix executable, and tau.bat
EDIT 2: There is no tau folder following bin, only two files

samaaron · 2024-05-03T19:37:03Z

Ok, so just to confirm, the file /Applications/Sonic Pi.app/Contents/Resources/server/beam/tau/_build/prod/rel/tau/bin/tau does exist on your machine but running the command:

MIX_ENV=prod SECRET_KEY_BASE=sldkfjsdlfjsdfls '/Applications/Sonic Pi.app/Contents/Resources/server/beam/tau/_build/prod/rel/tau/bin/tau' start

Fails with zsh: no such file or directory: /Applications/Sonic Pi.app/Contents/Resources/server/beam/tau/_build/prod/rel/tau/bin/tau

That really doesn't make any sense to me at all.

Could you cd into the bin directory (which you confirmed exists):

cd '/Applications/Sonic Pi.app/Contents/Resources/server/beam/tau/_build/prod/rel/tau/bin/'

and then run the following:

MIX_ENV=prod SECRET_KEY_BASE=sldkfjsdlfjsdfls ./tau start

Xigility · 2024-05-03T19:39:17Z

yep that's what's been happening

WAIT WAIT WAIT - WRONG, I CHANGED SONIC PI NAME IN APPLICATION LET ME TRY AGAIN

EDIT: EUREKA -

MIX_ENV=prod SECRET_KEY_BASE=sldkfjsdlfjsdfls '/Applications/Sonic Pi.app/Contents/Resources/server/beam/tau/_build/prod/rel/tau/bin/tau' start

boots me into beam.smp, and
returned prod, pressing arrow keys afterwards is responsive.

I completely forgot I had renamed Sonic Pi to denote version because I still have 3.3.1 as a failsafe - the initial error with 4.5.1 is without changing Sonic Pi's name however. And 3.3.1 still boots fine even with the app name change

samaaron · 2024-05-03T19:47:36Z

OK, so are you still unable to boot Sonic Pi?

Note - changing the app name in the /Applications directory shouldn't affect its ability to boot. I just changed it on my machine and it booted just fine.

Xigility · 2024-05-03T19:54:12Z

Unfortunately so - even with the MIX_ENV running in background.

Apologies, unable to start...

[GUI] - Critical Error. Unable to connect to server..

[GUI] - Sonic Pi Server failed to start with this error message:
> The Boot Daemon could not be started!

samaaron · 2024-05-03T21:09:04Z

The problem is somewhere within the C++ API which starts the processes. The pertinent error is:

API] [ERROR] : StartProcess - Invalid argument

It's really odd because the arguments seem to be valid, so that running:

 '/Applications/Sonic Pi 4.5.1.app/Contents/Resources/app/server/native/ruby/bin/ruby' '/Applications/Sonic Pi 4.5.1.app/Contents/Resources/app/server/ruby/bin/daemon.rb' --no-scsynth-inputs

appears to work on your machine (please try this again to verify).

The next thing we can do is to try and extract more information from the error - but for this I'll need to build a special version of Sonic Pi for you to try. I'll do that some point this weekend when I get chance and hopefully it will help us shed further light on this issue.

Xigility · 2024-05-04T11:04:58Z

@samaaron Well I ran this '/Applications/Sonic Pi 4.5.1.app/Contents/Resources/app/server/native/ruby/bin/ruby' '/Applications/Sonic Pi 4.5.1.app/Contents/Resources/app/server/ruby/bin/daemon.rb' --no-scsynth-inputs in terminal

spits out a random string of numbers,
e.g. 38506 38501 38500 38502 4560 38503 38505 2064246297 and after about 1 minute it shuts down on its own and chucks me right back into -zsh.

Not sure if that counts as working or not (as in, I can tell it runs, but I know £&%@ all about C++ so I'm not sure the result is expected or an issue) - booting Sonic Pi itself still gives the same error as posted yesterday, not that I expected that to change.
