doesn't work, likely SIP is enabled.

@m3nu any idea how to get test_fuse not hanging forever?

[m3nu]

Installing and running FUSE in an automated way is ambitious. Doesn't it need confirmation of the module in the Security Preferences? If so, there is probably a notification popup blocking somewhere.

I can check for that by taking screenshots while Github Actions is running, but may not have a solution for the actual error. Similar to doing things with the Keychain. One needs to be very very careful to avoid triggering a confirmation message.

Will try this today. We shouldn't disable SIP or any other feature.

[m3nu]

Here where it gets stuck.

The workarounds in the script are being blocked. Looking at other options to install this headless. (added debug code here m3nu@3a290ea)

[m3nu]

Looked into this a bit more (macfuse/macfuse#828 (comment)) and don't think we should spend time to override a security feature here. Better to mock the MacFUSE parts and focus on the code Borg runs.

[m3nu]

Only alternative I see is Vagrant or something local, which allows disabling SIP.

[ThomasWaldmann]

@m3nu thanks for investigating! ok, so according to your results / advice, we'll have:

• github CI running on old macOS that doesn't need problematic tweaks (as long as that OS is offered / works otherwise for us)
• local vagrant based testing (currently also on old macOS, in future maybe some newer OS with a locally prepared VM)

So I am closing this PR, won't work like this.

well, github is deprecating macOS 10 based testing. today a test failed with a note telling so.

so guess we have the same problem again on github as we are now forced to move to macOS 11 or 12.
