Gtk Getting Started example not working on Julia v1.0.3 or 1.1.1 on MacOS

[logankilpatrick]

I run the code from this example: https://juliagraphics.github.io/Gtk.jl/latest/manual/gettingStarted.html#Getting-Started-1

No button shows up on 1.0.3 or 1.1.1....

[jonathanBieler]

Strange, what do you get ? and empty window ? Note that the button takes the whole window.

[timholy]

#414?

[logankilpatrick]

@jonathanBieler yes, just a blank window. And I am also on MacOS Mojave @timholy I read through #414 and it didn’t look like anything got resolved.

[mgalenb]

+1 i also have this issue. also waiting for #414 to be resolved.

[logankilpatrick]

@tknopp anything I can do to help out on the resolution for this?

I don't know. This is not really a Gtk.jl bug but an issue with the Homebrew.jl installation (since it works here for me). We could check versions, I have:

If yours are more recent then that's the issue.

How do I add HomeBrew like you're using? I did add HomeBrew and got an error. I also got an error when I did Homebrew.list() (I am not familiar with HomeBrew )

[tknopp]

add Homebrew and using Homebrew

[mgalenb]

i checked and the only difference in version is glib: 2.60.1 (yours) glib: 2.60.2 (mine).

[logankilpatrick]

Also on a different version of glib....

[logankilpatrick]

How does one downgrade those versions in homebrew?

[logankilpatrick]

@staticfloat As a maintainer/core dev of Homebrew.jl, do you have any advice for the people unable to use Gtk.jl because of the difference in Homebrew package versions? Can I pin versions to match @tknopp 's versions?

[jonathanBieler]

@logankilpatrick To downgrade packages, maybe have a look at this:

https://stackoverflow.com/a/9832084

You can run homebrew commands using:

    Homebrew.brew(`cmd`)

Not sure if that works though.

[fipelle]

I am having the same issue. Have you found a working solution?

[logankilpatrick]

@fipelle I am going to try downgrading this weekend and will report back.

[logankilpatrick]

On Julia 1.3 on MacOs with master, I am now able to get this example to work.
