OK, so I've run out of patience in my flailing around. All I want is to run a headless image on a Mac (so I can unbreak the SqueakTrunk-OSX job, which _used_ to work).
How? Do I say "-headless"? ("could not find module vm-display-X11") "-vm-display-null -headless"? ("squeak: could not find any sound driver") "-vm-sound-null -vm-display-null -headless"? ("could not find module vm-sound-null")
I don't mind whether I use Cog or Interpreter, as long as I can just get an image running tests.
Thanks!

I think "-headless" is deprecated.
Did you try "-vm display=none"?

Hi Frank,
from the command line say e.g.
/Applications/Cog.app/Contents/MacOs/Squeak -headless my image.image
I'll email my startup script, which makes this much more convenient, real soon now.

Whatever script runs the job may also have to be run by the same User ID as is logged into the screen. I ran into this issue trying to get the CI stuff running on my server. EVEN HEADLESS, the VM startup code needed some sort of access to the console, although it doesn't display anything :(.
I'll email my startup script, which makes this much more convenient, real soon now.

Dear Squeakers,
Should this work with current CogSpur VMs? I can’t make it work.
I can run this and it opens a window shortly, and prints „test" on the console: CogSpur.r3684.app/Contents/MacOS/Squeak Squeak5.1-15113.image test.st
My test.st looks like this: Smalltalk runAndQuit: [FileStream stdout nextPutAll: ‚test‘; cr]
However, if I run the following CogSpur.r3684.app/Contents/MacOS/Squeak -headless my Squeak5.1-15113.image test.st I get „Error: No content to install“
I also tried this: CogSpur.r3684.app/Contents/MacOS/Squeak -headless Squeak5.1-15113.image test.st
I get „Syntax Error: UndefinedObject y“, <<<This string contains a character (ascii value 25) that is not normally used in code>>> y@`Argument expected
The same happens with an up-to-date trunk image.
Any tips?
Cheers, Bernhard

Hi Bernhard,
The error message indicates that Squeak couldn't find your st file. You have to supply the full path to your test.st, e.g.:
CogSpur.r3684.app/Contents/MacOS/Squeak -headless Squeak5.1-15113.image $(pwd)/test.st
Hope this helps.
Best, Fabio
Hi Fabio,
Thanks for the tip. However, it does not change the behavior. A window always shows and I still get the same errors. Does -headless on OS X work for you?
Cheers, Bernhard

What window is still showing up? Are you sure your absolute path to your .st is correct?

Note that the Cocoa-Based Mac VMs do not yet interpret -headless correctly.

This is being fixed this week.

Hi John,
Should this work already with the latest VMs?
