easySIMBL is OS X 10.10 Yosemite compatible

[jhrmnn]

I would just like to report that easySIMBL seems to work in Yosemite, see here, README can be updated

Hello,

I second the compatibility of easySIMBL with Yosemite GM Build 1 to 3.
However, It seems that easySIMBL does not get automatically enabled and needs to be launched after reboot (which you can automatize within your preferences). But even when the launch is automated you need to check the "use SIMBL" checkbox.

I primary use easySIMBL with terminal "copy on select".

Any tip on how to make it transparently enabled at reboot time?

Thanks,
Thierry

Hi @Orion98MC,

Please try this workaround.

Hi,
It seems the signing of kernel extensions (which is now enforced in Yosemite) has to do with this issue.
I had to reboot with specific boot args for a particular kernel extension which would not load otherwise and it magically solved the SIMBL not loading issue.

For the record the boot args where set as follows:

sudo nvram boot-args="kext-dev-mode=1"

Hope this helps.

That's strange, because EasySIMBL does not use kernel extensions..

👍 EasySIMBL 1.6 (9) seems to works with retail Yosemite 10.10 (Build 14A389).

Also, I don't see any nvram changes or kexts either.

@norio-nomura I am also having the problem where SIMBL will not load up automatically on 10.10 or on 10.10.1 beta. I attempted the above fix that you'd noted, but that does not help. Any other ideas for getting it to start at startup?

Hello, I just found there is a compatible issue between Spotlight plugin manager Flashlight and EasySIMBL, I just sent a pull request nate-parrott/Flashlight#95

For those who may suffer from this, you can temporarily disable Flashlight and remove '~/Library/ScriptingAdditions/Flashlight.osax`

I use EasySIMBL with Safari Stand, cDock and Colorful Sidebar. All have been working perfectly until now.... Now is when I updated to OS X 10.10.4 (14E26a)

Now none of them work, so I am assuming it is EasySIMBL itself that has stopped working.

If anyone has similar experience or a fix, please post here.

Yep. 10.10.4 (14E33b) broke it for me, too.
