jamovi

hi,

can you install the latest version of jamovi (0.8.1.14)? start it in debug mode, and at the console run:

jamovi --debug

jamovi spawns background 'engines' for performing the analyses, and these background engines appear to be failing on your machine. running it with --debug should make these engines visible, and hopefully provide a useful error message.

with thanks

Hi Jonathon,

Here's a screenshot of the debug message:

It still gives me the same error message when the actual program opens.

Cheers.

Hi, i'm another developer on jamovi. When running in debug mode there should be a total of 4 command windows open. The initial one into which jamovi --debug was typed, but when jamovi opens 3 more should appear. Firstly, do those three other windows appear and if so what do they contain after the connection lost message is displayed?

kind regards,
Damian

Yes, they do appear but they disappear after about a second. I could only see the first extra window, but it seemed to be empty (there wasn't enough time to view the ones behind it).

Cheers.

Any other ideas what I can do?

hey sorry, i am running out of ideas.

do you have R installed on your computer?

you could try running 'set' at the jamovi debug console. this would/should output all your environmental variables. there's a possibility one of these is interfering (but i thought we filtered appropriately). you could send that through.

after that, if you have R installed, you could try removing it and see if that fixes it.

with thanks

I do have R installed. Here's the output that comes when I run 'set' in the console.

you could try disabling your virus scanner too.

with thanks

I'm unable to do that as it's a work computer and it seemingly won't let me!

hi,

it's possibly an issue to do with permissions, or possibly with your virus scanner. is it possible to try running jamovi as administrator? also, you could try (temporarily) removing R, and see if that fixes it.

with thanks
