Embedded Influx doesn't work on mac os

[VladimirApolaiko]

I use the provided code snippet to start embedded influx on mac os 10.12.6, but I every time I try to run it I get the following message: [influxd error]/var/folders/z6/zxktn8v10nx_ssb1zctm_5w80000gn/T/extract-c9d95ee0-f9fb-4387-bb94-e85806f45c21influxd: /var/folders/z6/zxktn8v10nx_ssb1zctm_5w80000gn/T/extract-c9d95ee0-f9fb-4387-bb94-e85806f45c21influxd: cannot execute binary file

@rouvoy I am running into this issue as well. Is there a timeframe of when this is going to be fixed? It works great on linux environment but on MacOS I get "cannot execute binary file". Is it because there is not a direct distribution of InfluxDB for MacOS?

+1 We could really use this!

Unfortunately, we do not have the necessary resources to address this issue currently. But, if one of you can dig into it, we will be happy to accept a pull request.

You can try this as the temporary solution. It already has an InfluxDB module.

Hello,

Unfortunately you're right @nkglenn, there is no binary package for MacOS.

As you can see on the download page, installation for MacOS is redirected to HomeBrew, which will manually download the github project and build it using go install.

It may be possible to integrate this kind of behavior but I fear that this is currently not well supported by the underlying library (i.e. https://github.com/flapdoodle-oss/de.flapdoodle.embed.process).

The compatibility with MacOS is now available in version 1.2.0.
