WhiteRabbit-RabbitInAHat v0.5.0 Mac OS

Hi all,
WR/RIaH v0.4.5 runs successfully on my Mac OS but not v0.5.0. On the Mac OS, I’ve always had to run through terminal services. Here is the error below. Any ideas?

Hi Lisa. With 0.5.0 we moved from Java version 1.6 to 1.7. I think the default on MacOS is still 1.6 even though that is a really old version. You may need to upgrade.

I had the same issue and the upgrade to 1.7 let the app startup. Now I am able to connect to mysql and add the tables from the DB, but I am getting null pointer exceptions when I try to scan them. I have also tried connecting to a csv file and still get the null pointers. This is my first time using white rabbit, so I am not sure if it is me or the new version or something in my java setup.
Can you let me know if you have success after you upgrade?
Thanks!

I downloaded the v4.5 and am able to get a scan of csv files and mysql tables. So it looks like an issue with v5.0 or with the Mac OS X 1.7 java installation and v5.0.

@Richard_Starr, when I attempted to recreate your error, I found what might be the same bug and reported it here. Please take a look and let me know if this is the same behavior you were seeing.

Thanks!

@schuemie, I’ve bump the Java version in the README to 1.7

It seems to be the same. Here is the output from a csv attempt. It is using the complete path.
