Bug 228060 – run-webkit-archive crashes with dyld error

• Component: Web Inspector
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Jed Fox]

I downloaded WebKit Nightly r280019 to prepare to report a bug in Safari Technology Preview. I right-clicked on run-webkit-archive and chose Open to run it. the Terminal app was opened and showed me this:

$ /Users/jed/Downloads/280019/run-webkit-archive ; exit;
Setting DYLD FRAMEWORK and LIBRARY paths to /Users/jed/Downloads/280019/Release
dyld: Symbol not found: __ZN9Inspector17BackendDispatcher19reportProtocolErrorEN3WTF8OptionalIlEENS0_15CommonErrorCodeERKNS1_6StringE

  Expected in: /Users/jed/Downloads/280019/Release/JavaScriptCore.framework/Versions/A/JavaScriptCore
 in /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/WebInspector.framework/Versions/A/WebInspector

I am running Safari 14.1.1 (16611.2.7.1.4) on macOS 11.4 (20F71), and Safari Technology Preview Release 127 (Safari 15.0, WebKit 16612.1.18.11.3). I use the fish shell, but running run-webkit-archive from bash produced the same error.

The symbol referenced above was also mentioned in Bug 165351, which was fixed at the end of 2016.

Sure.
If there are any symbols here that aren't needed, we should remove them.

I believe for now we should keep the symbols added for pre-11.3 compatibility until a new version of Safari ships for Big Sur (or accept that the latest version of Big Sur is required for open source builds). I'll open bugs to remove the existing compatibility symbols as well as this new one so it is harder for us to forget to do so.
