at-spi2-core: Since upgrade to 2.44.1_0 dbind-WARNING messages.

[christophecvr (christophecvr)]

After update of macports when launching gedit from terminal I receive warning message :

(gedit:511): dbind-WARNING **: 08:49:23.882: Couldn't connect to accessibility bus: Empty address ''

gedit still works fine that well.

Further investigation showed that file

~/.cache/dbus/user

is not made anymore.

This file is normally made when starting a application who uses dbus bindings to dbus to cache config settings and removed when application is killed.

After downgrade at-spi2-core back to 2.38.0 All run's back fine and the cache file is made again when running gedit.

This on :

Macos 10.15.7 Xcode 11.5 CommandLineTools 11.5 Macbookpro mid 2010 intel i7 15" retina.

Are the LaunchDaemon and LaunchAgent for dbus running?

Replying to jmroot:

Are the LaunchDaemon and LaunchAgent for dbus running?

Yes they are all installed and launched.

dbus self works fine. I even did uninstalled them all and rebuild them all. But the issue remained same. After downgrading at-spi2-core it runs fine again. However even with this warning message dbus self seems to work fine and it uses the stored settings.

I must admit that I find this cached file not really needed since it reads also the :

~/.config/dbus/user

file. That is same file as the cached one.

as extra info with the updated at-spi2-core it does work good again if You add to you're bash profile :

export NO_AT_BRIDGE=1

Then the .cache/dbus/user file is made again when launching gedit.

Seems to be a new function used into at-spi2-core that not works on macos or ..

The method above is a work-around.

But if used it's best to set this export in system wide profile:

/private/etc/profile
