I’m creating some software program as a part of a analysis undertaking, and am working into an annoying situation with the Mac firewall. Our system structure entails working a number of concurrent processes which open community ports, so after I begin an execution, I get a ton of firewall notifications:
Whether or not I click on Permit or Deny, the notification comes again each time. I’ve additionally tried including this system to the firewall settings, however the notifications nonetheless seem. Enabling stealth mode, and even disabling the firewall, likewise does nothing.
This comparable query asks about fixing this situation for a single program, and there is some dialogue about code signing. However this would possibly not work for me: I am simply compiling new variations of my code; I would like to forestall these dialogs from showing throughout testing, not manufacturing. So marking a single executable as "secure" (if even doable) would solely work till the subsequent compilation.
A number of extra knowledge factors:
- This occurs irrespective of the place I run this system from — terminal or VS code terminal
- This used to occur sometimes, however now occurs practically on a regular basis, after I moved my undertaking from my Paperwork folder (which I noticed was being backed as much as iCloud) to a separate native folder. Presumably one thing with file-provenance belief? This is able to be unusual, nevertheless. My new listing is simply
~/Native Paperwork - Whereas some variants of our program do use incoming community entry, I am at the moment simply testing on a single machine (with a number of processes performing as a number of hosts, utilizing the
mpiframework).
Ideally, I might prefer to mark executables in a sure folder as being exempt from firewall guidelines, however at this level, I am pleased to even simply flip off the warnings system-wide.
This reply appears to counsel I could also be out of luck.
