macos - Discover why GoDC won't start on Mac

Question

I'm trying to run GoCD on MacOS (10.12) for testing purposes. When I run both the server and the client apps, they do not provide any GUI output (they should show progress bars or a host configuration) and they quit a couple of seconds after starting.

When I try to run the apps from Terminal as:

/Applications/Go Server.app/Contents/MacOS/go-server

I get the following output:

Got directory: /Users/taatyyu1/Library/Application Support/Go Server [It exists]

and then the app quits.

How can I discover what is the issue of the apps not starting properly?

Answer 1

The logs of the apps are available in

~/Library/Application Support/Go Server/osx-app.log 

and

~/Library/Application Support/Go Agent/osx-app.log

They contain the information from apps starting up and you can use them to figure out what goes wrong
