Mojave Error in Place of Widget

[MrGVSV]

I followed the instructions to install the widget properly but an error is being shown in place of the widget.

Invariant Violation: Objects are not valid as a React child (found: Error: env: ruby_executable_hooks: No such file or directory
). If you meant to render a collection of children, use an array instead.

iStats works fine in the terminal and the command variable in index.jsx is pointing to my iStats binary. Not sure what's going wrong as I'm new to Übersicht and stuff.

System: Mac OSX Mojave 10.14.6
Ruby: ruby 2.5.1p57 (2018-03-29 revision 63029) [x86_64-darwin16]
Gem: ~/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.5.1/bin/gem
iStats: /usr/local/bin/istats
Uber: v1.4

I am assuming you are using the latest istats.widget-2.2.0 with no modifications to the source?

To further pin down the issue a more explicit error description is required. Would you be able to open "Show Debug Console" from the Übersicht context menu and provide the output from the "Console" tab? I would expect a more detailed error description is shown in the Console with the file and line number where this error occurs exactly.

[MrGVSV]

It's actually iStats v1.6.1. And yes I have not modified it at all.

Do these screenshots from the console help at all?

Usually the error indicates the widget causing the problem.

In your case it seems that the widget is not even loaded. Please check if your Übersicht preferences point to a directory containing the widget, rather than the widget itself. Also see #20 for other potential issues around widget folders.

[MrGVSV]

My preferences are pointing to the widgets folder and I'm able to load up other widgets. Do you think it has anything to do with ruby_executable_hooks? I just ran sudo gem install --user-install executable-hooks and it was successfully installed but didn't help. I'm not too familiar with ruby so maybe I'm missing something here.

@MrGVSV Hard to tell what's going on here. To me this seems somehow related to your environment. Does the istats command run properly in your command line? Is the executable located/symlinked at /usr/local/bin/istats as indicated in the script?

[drewswaycool]

I am having this issue as well. On Catalina and using the latest release of the widget.

@drewswaycool How does your environment look like in terms of versions (macOS, Ruby, Gem, rvm)? Do you use rvm as well like @MrGVSV?

@drewswaycool
It seems you're also using rvm and the istats Gem is installed in this context. As rvm requires the script to be sourced in the .bash_profile i assume Übersicht it not executing the shell command with a properly initialized environment.

You could give the following options a try:

1. Enable Load Bash env in Übersicht preferences.
2. Edit the command constant in index.jsx to something like source $HOME/.bash_profile && /usr/local/bin/istats.

[drewswaycool]

Nice, just needed to turn Load Bash env and change the path to istats in the index.jsx. Thanks.

[roele]

Thanks for confirming @drewswaycool. I added a troubleshooting item to the README.md for RVM.
