Emacsclient Mac OS X 'No socket or alternate editor' error
How it was invoked and what gets returned:
$ /usr/local/bin/emacsclient ~/pgadmin.log
/usr/local/bin/emacsclient: can't find socket; have you started
the server?
To start the server in Emacs, type "M-x server-start".
/usr/local/bin/emacsclient: No socket or alternate editor.
Please use:
--socket-name
--server-file (or environment variable
EMACS_SERVER_FILE)
--alternate-editor (or environment variable
ALTERNATE_EDITOR)
Upstream errors I thought I solved but perhaps not:
M-x server-start
Getting errors like
(error "The directory
`/var/folders/b3/9k90h2ln2ns__vznkc0642vc3m01mw/T//emacs121636508' is unsafe")
So I verified it used the same file repeatedly then did a
$ chmod 700 emacs121636508
After than M-x server-start returned without errors
To see if it was fixed in a later version I just reinstalled emacs with
$ brew install emacs --cocoa --use-git-head --HEAD
$ mv /usr/local/Cellar/emacs/HEAD/Emacs.app /Applications/
That didnt fix it
As an experiment yesterday I redefined
(defun server-ensure-safe-dir (dir) t)
and it worked.
But today the same trick did not work so I did the chmod 700
and that seemed to work, but failed when I went to start emacsclient.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to look at this issue.
