macOS OpenSSL problem - Homebrew moved it from v1.0 to v1.1 [fixed]

[kensoh]

A bug is introduced in upstream TagUI tool, due to Homebrew migrating from OpenSSL v1.0 to v1.1. However, OpenSSL v1.0 is required for PhantomJS execution engine to work. Raising this issue to track and implement a matching solution when upstream project resolves this.

• More details at upstream issue macOS OpenSSL version issue - Homebrew moved it from v1.0 to v1.1 - initial fix aisingapore/TagUI#635

Below is the reference error message when OpenSSL v1.0 is not available -

dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/libssl.1.0.0.dylib

This issue impacts macOS users who installs this package for the first time in the last few days, since 27 Nov, the date when Homebrew latest release moves to v1.1 of OpenSSL from v1.0 -

Issue first raised by @muratcim in aisingapore/TagUI#635

[kensoh]

Initial fix implemented. Thanks @muratcim for bringing this up! Let me buy you and a friend Starbucks drinks after we find the optimal stable-state solution for this issue.

---

For new users who pip install tagui for the first time, hopefully you should have no issues related to this, as the solution is now in-built into the setup() function in the package in v1.18.

---

For existing users the unlikely situation which the error can happen is when Homebrew is being used to update either its openssl package or all its packages installed. There are 2 solutions, I recommend using solution 2 the fast way unless you prefer to play and wait around -

1. pip install tagui --upgrade and then run t.setup() to refresh OpenSSL version to v1.0.
   Please note that doing so will reset the Chrome user profile of your automated Chrome browser, and you will lose the cookies and stored passwords saved in your automated browser. You can mitigate by backing up and restoring the folder ~/.tagui/src/chrome/tagui_user_profile

2. The fast solution is just copy and run the commands below in your terminal window. The commands will remove any existing v1.1 of OpenSSL, any stale v1.0, before installing v1.0

brew uninstall openssl; brew uninstall openssl; brew install https://github.com/tebelorg/Tump/releases/download/v1.0.0/openssl.rb

The solution above has been suggested for over a week without issues. Now giving feedback to Homebrew maintainer to do a final check on whether the solution is robust is sound -

Hi @muratcim so far have you run into problems using the solution? If yes let me know, then I'll improve on the solution above. Otherwise the entry point to use on macOS would be blocked. Thanks for finding and reporting this bug due to Homebrew upgrade!

I'm now running a Starbucks promotion for unknown bugs raised when using TagUI for Python. May I treat you and one friend a cup of Starbucks (one each, any drink, any size)? Take a photo of receipt and pass me so I can paypal you.

As fix is implemented, closing issue for now pending inputs from users and Homebrew maintainer.

Will wait for your reply to treat you and friend a drink!
