Auvaltool ошибка что делать

I ran into the very same issue:

So I digged a little deeper and I found the reasons for it:

• auvaltool executable can’t be found / or is not reachable to Xcode for execution (maybe security considerations)

• the schema is configured to debug auvaltool but it doesn’t contain the correct debug symbols!

• the build step to build the AU in XCode is set up with dummy data to call auvaltool.

• Option A: Disable the «Run» task in Xcode and run auval in a terminal on your own like this with the correct arguments that match your plugin id’s: auval -v aufx $PLUG_UNIQUE_ID $PLUG_MFR_ID, i.e.: auval -v aufx Lapa AHVI

• Option B: Fix the schema config in Xcode like this:

1. Open a terminal and run: cp /usr/bin/auval /Applications/auval. This will copy the binary of auval (auvaltool is only a symbolic link) — and place it into a place your user can reach without any security limitation.

2. We gonna fix the schema config:

3. Take a look into your resource.h. Note the values of PLUG_UNIQUE_ID and PLUG_MFR_ID:

1. Then select the build target in the menu:

1. Go to: «Edit Scheme…»:

1. Select «Run» and:

2. Disable the «Debug executable toggle»

1. Click on the combobox that says «auvaltool»-> Select: «Other…» and select the «auval» executable you just copied to /Applications

1. Now select «Run» -> Switch to «Arguments» tab:

1. Instead of -v aufx Ipef Acme, which is dummy data and totally wrong, put -v aufx $PLUG_UNIQUE_ID $PLUG_MFR_ID, i.e.: -v aufx Lapa AHVI

=> FINALLY, run the task again, and…

IT WORKS!

@olilarkin Maybe we can improve the duplicate.py by adding two more arguments to specify set the PLUG_UNIQUE_ID and PLUG_MFR_ID and replace them automatically in resource.h and the Xcode schema config. Maybe I could take a look at it and pull request. Because: If new users start using this project they even might think it doesn’t work «at all» when the first thing that happens after clicking «Build» is an «Internal error» :))

I found another workaround which is still not pretty, but less invasive. I implemented a small python-http server which expects the auval arguments as url-get parameters.
If this python-server now is started using a non-ssh session, it is possible to validate all plugins using the http-get call. Below is the code for the small server.

from http.server import HTTPServer, BaseHTTPRequestHandler
import subprocess
from urllib.parse import urlparse, parse_qs

import traceback


def run_auval(params):
    arguments = ["auval", "-v", params["type"], params["subtype"], params["manufactor"]]
    print("Running AUVal: {}".format(arguments))
    process_return = subprocess.run(arguments, capture_output=True)
    return process_return.stdout + process_return.stderr, process_return.returncode


class SimpleHTTPRequestHandler(BaseHTTPRequestHandler):
    def do_GET(self):
        raw_params = parse_qs(urlparse(self.path).query)
        params = {}
        for key, value in raw_params.items():
            params[key] = value[0]

        try:
            output, return_code = run_auval(params)
        except:
            self.send_response(500)
            self.end_headers()
            self.wfile.write(str.encode(traceback.format_exc()))
            return

        self.send_response(200)
        self.end_headers()
        self.wfile.write(output)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    httpd = HTTPServer(("0.0.0.0", 8000), SimpleHTTPRequestHandler)
    httpd.serve_forever()

You can then use wget or an equivalent from an SSH session to get the result of au validation.

With the server running, output goes to auval_log.txt where you can search for FAILURE or SUCCESS:

wget "http://localhost:8000?type=aufx&subtype=Abcd&manufactor=Dlby" -O auval_log.txt

This is equivalent to running

auval -v aufx Abcd Dlby

but without the SSH issues

[SOLVED]

TL;DR: FCPX wasn’t opening due to auvaltool

Solution: Delete all your audio plugins.

Final Cut Pro X (FCPX 10.4.8) Not Opening on 2018 MacBook Pro (macOS Catalina 10.15.3)

Whenever I try to open FCPX it gets stuck «Validating Audio Units» and all I see is the exec terminal icon that says auvaltool keep popping up. So I scoured the web to look for solutions but can’t really find anything.

Please send help.

The most promising thing I could find was unrelated to FCPX and they suggested replacing an older auvaltool in /usr/bin however I can’t seem to write in the folder even after disabling SIP with csrutil disable in recovery mode. So I’m not sure what to do.

Resources Followed:

• Replacing Auvaltool https://forum.fractalaudio.com/threads/mac-catalina-help.155311/

• Reset NVRAM https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT203477

I’m left to think my only option is to downgrade macOS but if anyone has a solution before I have to do that, you’d be a lifesaver thanks in advance! 😀

Edit 1: Forgot to upload the photos to explain what I’m trying to say.

Edit 2: Solved

-______- I dunno what exactly was the issue but it’s because I also have some audio plugins from Fruity Loops. Basically I just went to Library —> Audio —> Plugins and got rid of them all. Well to be specific I just renamed the folder but jeeze that’s dumb

TL;DR: Delete all your audio plugins.

[Library —> Audio —> Plugins ]
