Mac guy thinks he knows what to do :)

Nothing like sleeping on a problem.

At NYCC2016 this weekend though so won't be able to touch it till Monday most likely.

Will update if I succeed!

yeah, this is tough. Fixed the 'a' thing, it was me messing up and removing a quote somewhere.

Still getting this error though:

that version of jq works, but sed -i '' doesn't seem to solve it, here's the error I see:

btw, this is my jq:

/usr/local/bin/jq: Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64

and this is the one you packaged:

jq: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.15, not stripped

and my uname -a

yep! That started doing something, however I was getting some errors.

/Users/Telecart/Downloads/Ubooquity/PageBuilder/imageGet.sh: line 58: wget: command not found

so, it looks like some resources weren't working correctly, specifically jq and wget.

I started by installing wget. To do that on a clean OSX El Capitan (this is not my usual machine), I needed to install Homebrew, then XCode command line tools, then openSSL (which is no longer packaged with MacOS/OSX), and then install wget.

That worked, in that it was now downloading a zero bytes image, but not spewing a command not found error for wget.

Then I went on to jq. I simply couldn't figure out why it wasn't executable. It's an x86 machine and everything should be fine, so I went ahead and installed jq using homebrew, and removed the path to the specific jq instance ($my_dir/) in PageBuilder.sh.

Trying it again, I'm hitting this unfamiliar error - "Cannot index array with string..."

Feel like I'm almost there, after which I can write instructions for any other mac miscreants out there. Any thoughts on that?

Hmm, nope... Again, these are blank directories otherwise, are there any other resources it needs?

/Users/Telecart/Downloads/Ubooquity/PageBuilder/PageBuilder.sh /Users/Telecart/Downloads/Ubooquity/PageBuilder/DC\ Comics/Detective\ Comics\ \(Vol.\ 2\)/CVInfo

No cvinfo file found

From quickly playing around with PageBuilder.sh though it does seem to give me "No cvinfo file found" when I run it directly on a directory that contains a cvinfo. It's just a test directory so I don't know if it needs anything else though.

I'm on OSX, I first did chmod 755 to the .sh so I could execute it, then I put a cvinfo file in a folder and executed it as such:

PageBuilder.sh /Users/Telecart/Downloads/Ubooquity/PageBuilder/DC\ Comics/Detective\ Comics\ \(Vol.\ 2\)

No cvinfo file found

Yay! Excited to mess about with this! NYCC is coming up so won't have time this weekend.

:sniffs:
Yep, magic.

Oh noes! That blows. Let us know if we can help with anything..!
