Hi EdgeDb team 👋🏻

Here’s a small issue that I’m facing when trying to init a db on macOS Big Sur.

Informations

• EdgeDB Version: 1-alpha7
• OS Version: macOS Big Sur (11.1)

Steps to Reproduce

1. Launch edgedb server init foo_test

Output

To investigate further, I’ve tried to see how macOS build its internal architecture and here’s the result:

When launching ls /Users/guillaume/Library, my directory display both Application Support and ApplicationSupport, both have an edgedb subdirectory with the files in it, I’m not sure where edgedb must store the files but there’s probably something related with the issue 🤔

Thanks for the feedback and have a great day 🙂

[elprans]

is there any command to init a new instance using Docker

Yes. Use --method=docker when installing:

edgedb server install --method=docker

Seems to be nothing actionable left. Closing
