Avoiding firewall warnings on macOS Sierra when built from source #8911

AFAIK the only real solution is to turn off the firewall. Since you are making a new binary each compile you are going to have to make a new firewall rule each time. Will be very happy if I'm wrong |

I'll close this as it doesn't look like there's a better option. If anyone has any better ideas please do comment. |

Not sure that this will work in all cases but this has been working for me after I upgrade/reboot my system. Just throwing this out there incase it might be useful: #/bin/bash
FW="/usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall/socketfilterfw"
# Duplicating these commands on purpose as the symbolic link node might be
# linked to either out/Debug/node or out/Release/node depending on the BUILDTYPE
$FW --remove $PWD/out/Debug/node
$FW --remove $PWD/out/Debug/node
$FW --remove $PWD/out/Release/node
$FW --remove $PWD/out/Release/node
$FW --listapps
$FW --add $PWD/out/Debug/node
$FW --add $PWD/out/Release/node
$FW --add $PWD/node
$FW --unblock $PWD/out/Debug/node
$FW --unblock $PWD/out/Release/node
$FW --unblock $PWD/node
$FW --listapps |

@gibfahn @thealphanerd I've been using the above script and this sorts out the firewall issue for me when it happens. I'm wondering if this might be nice to have checked into the tools directory or some other place place (and perhaps a note somewhere in BUILDING.MD pointing to it so that people can find it? |

@danbev Having it as a standard script makes sense to me. If people working on core are unblocking their firewalls with ad-hoc scripts (or disabling them entirely), we should definitely have a standard script that people can run. Do you know what causes this script to need to be rerun? Is it because the firewall sees a new node binary when you rebuild node? |
I'm still not sure what the exact reason is but for me I have to re-run the script after a reboot. But I've also had to do it occasionally after updating my master branch. I first thought it had to do with the |

Currently, there are a number of popups that get displayed when running the tests asking to accept incoming network connections. Rules can be added manually to the socket firewall on Mac OS X but getting this right might not be obvious and quite a lot of time can be wasted trying to get the rules right. This script hopes to simplify things a little so that it can be re-run when needed. The script should be runnable from both the projects root directory and from the tools directory, for example: $ sudo ./tools/macosx-firewall.sh Fixes: nodejs#8911
