OS X 10.8.4 / Workbench 6.0.7 instantly crashes / force closes with the following message:
MySQLWorkbench cannot be opened because of a problem.
Check with the developer to make sure MySQLWorkbench works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X.
I was really hoping this release resolved the consistent crashing that Workbench 6.0.6 has on OS X, and unfortunately it crashes before I can even open the program to find out 🙁
Please try the latest version.
Crash on startup:
My old version (5.1) works fine, but v6.0.7 keeps crashing on startup. I got this message:
Library not loaded: @executable_path/../Frameworks/libmysqlclient.18.dylib
How do you set up schema object permissions in version 6 (not global schema permissions, but setting them on specific tables)? In MySQL Administrator there was a checkbox to enable this option, but I can’t find it in workbench.
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/relnotes/workbench/en/wb-news-6-0-7.html is empty. Will it be updated later?
OS X 10.10.3 / Workbench 6.3 instantly crashes / force closes with the following message:
MySQLWorkbench cannot be opened because of a problem.
Check with the developer to make sure MySQLWorkbench works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X.
Weird, I’m running WB all day on my MBP. Care to file a bug report so that we can look at the problem?
