Installing delve for GO in Mac OSX

Question

I have been trying to install delve in my environment. However , delve fails to start and I can't solve this problem.

OS: OSX Yosemite 10.10.4

Darwin Kernel Version 14.4.0

 $GOPATH/bin/dlv debug main.go
 could not launch process: could not fork/exec

https://github.com/derekparker/delve/wiki/Building

I installed delve following steps mentioned above URL. Install was succeeded and delve starts appropriately with root user. Delve returns error except root user.

1) I have created certification and signed application

2) I kill taskgated just before make command but it starts again after make.

3) If I rename these files, this command makes failure. /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.taskgated-helper.plist /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.taskgated.plist

codesign -s "dlv-cert" /Users/murotanimari/work/bin/dlv
error: One or more parameters passed to a function were not valid.

Did you create an ECC certificate by chance? (instead of the default RSA) – Kelula

Answer 1

1. brew install steeve/delve/delve -> this installs delve and creates the certificate
2. Go to the delve folder, GOPATH/src/derek…/delve
3. Install cert for delve with command CERT=dlv-cert make install

Answer 2

brew install delve

this one worked for me. but it seems you need to use homebrew from right beginning.

Building devl with a certificate and signing it is an easy task, check this article that shows how to create cert, sign it and build from source

• Install xcode build tools xcode-select --install
• Create Certificate and sign it from Key Chain details in the article above.
• Clone repo git clone https://github.com/go-delve/delve.git && cd delve
• Build with cert: CERT=dlv-cert make install

• Enable Developer mode: sudo /usr/sbin/DevToolsSecurity -enable
