    This page provides information about using our Bibisect repositories on computers running macOS.

    Introduction

    If you're testing cross-platform and wish to test Mac bugs on a different OS, one option is to set up a virtual machine running macOS (see #VM below).

    For the bibisecting workflow, see the General Instructions section in the main article.

    Setting up your environment

    Before you download the bibisect repository, make sure your machine has the right software installed. If you don't have it already (which you can check by running `git` in Terminal), you need to install git.

    macOS notes

    You might have to right-click and select Open in Finder to verify the app the first time you use a new bibisect repository.

    If you are using the lo-4.1_to_lo-4.2 repo and already see the bug in its oldest commit, replace bibisectRequest with preBibisect in Keywords and set the Version field to 4.1 All Versions.

    Virtual Machines

    Using a macOS Virtual Machine (VM) is a great way to test macOS-specific bugs if you're using Windows or GNU/Linux as your host OS.

    Suggested setup:

    • Virtualization Software: VirtualBox
    • Guest OS: macOS 10.10 or later
    • (Virtual) Hard drive: at least 40 GB (some bibisect repositories are over 10 GB each, so it is better to download them into a shared folder instead of taking space from the VM)

    Many other options exist. One way to quickly set up various VMs for a number of OS's versions is to use quickemu (and quickgui on top if you want to have a graphical interface).
