Context

Hi all, I came to know unison from lra/mackup#1924, because I was exploring ways to backup any important application configurations that I use daily. My needs are simple, they can be configs such as vscode settings, slack preferences etc. Your generic stuff basically. I am still learning how to do this stuff for the first time.

Problem

It's my first time trying to use unison, but unfortunately I get this error. Let me know if I can somehow get you more logs.

Environment

  • Build: macos unison v2.53.5
  • OS: macos 14.7

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Launch unison the first time
  2. Select the default profile by double clicking it

Actual Results

I can consistently reproduce this bug.

Side question: I also noticed the brew version of unison has no gui, is that right? I have to always manually download the release to get the gui version.

Looks likely a legit bug for the tracker, but this is for bona fide bugs only, not help. Please read

and address brew questions to brew.

Please read the bugs wiki page and:

  • be clear on which ocaml version you are using (and make it not be 5.x)
  • set up to build from source if you can
  • download release artifacts if you can't
  • test with the command line
  • read the sources that correspond to your binary and see what is on that line
  • set up your unison.prefs to work and then try the GUI

I can't test or work on the Mac-native GUI, but it seems that the error is caused by the sync roots being unspecified. Normally, you'd get a proper error/usage message for this but it seems that the Mac-native GUI skips this validation.

In other words, you shouldn't use the default profile (create another one), alternatively you should add the sync roots into the default profile configuration.

You could also try the GTK GUI (what's called unison-gui in the release package), which should run on macOS (I guess you'd need to install GTK via brew).

This is still a bug in the Mac-native GUI (it blindly assumes that if a profile is specified then the roots are also specified, without checking it).

Homebrew has both GUI and CLI versions.
