Texify / macOS: "The TeX engine could not be found."

[brevilo]

Hi,

I'm running texify 2.9.6670 (MiKTeX 2.9.6700, first fresh install) on macOS 10.13.5 and always run into the following error:

2018-06-22 10:33:00,193+0200 INFO  texify - starting with command line: "/Applications/MiKTeX Console.app/Contents/bin/texify" --verbose --pdf --synctex=1 --clean file.tex
2018-06-22 10:33:00,324+0200 FATAL texify - The TeX engine could not be found.
2018-06-22 10:33:00,324+0200 FATAL texify - Info:

2018-06-22 10:33:00,324+0200 FATAL texify - Line: 1406

Interestingly running pdflatex, makeindex and bibtex themselves does work flawlessly. All three binaries are found by which in /usr/local/bin as expected. launchctl getenv PATH also returns /usr/local/bin as first component. Trying a private installation instead of a system-wide installation doesn't change anything. I'm really running out of ideas now.

Thanks

Update: tried to add --trace=access,core,files,filesearch,fndb but the output or log content didn't change. So where can I find the trace output?

Did you resolve it?
I am getting the same error.

This will be fixed with the MiKTeX 2.9.6800 milestone.

Thanks!

This will be fixed with milestone 2.9.6800.

Hi @edocevoli, this is really a pressing issue for us which could even mean to abandon MiKTeX which we'd like to avoid. In order to assess the options correctly, do you have a rough ETA on when you intend to release milestone 2.9.6800?

Thanks

@brevilo: just follow the link...

Duh, thanks! 👍

FYI, just tried the latest release (miktex-2.9.6800-1-darwin-x86_64.dmg) and the issue is indeed fixed for me. Thanks!
