Also suffering from this issue.

[serhWebDev]

I have a similar problem.

[gio-moros]

Recorder seems to throw an exception

[williamkunz]

Same problem.
I am using Hermes, not sure if everyone else is as well

[joaquinperezlopez]

Same here, did anyone find any workaround?

[evrenos]

I have same problem, I ran recorder, app launches & crashes. But I get no error, and recorder says "Recording… (CTRL+C to stop)"

[filipef101]

Latest detox breaks recorder?

[Bearbobs]

same issue :(

[dkoudrinhc]

Same issue. Any updates?

[MuckT]

@noomorph is Wix still maintaining this repository?

[noomorph]

@MuckT , hmm @asafkorem could you write back here?

[dkoudrinhc]

Would love to see how the recorder works, I had high hopes for this project :) Happy to provide any crash logs.

[asafkorem]

Sorry guys, we are not maintaining this project at the moment..
We may revisit this decision soon, but for now our focus is on other Detox improvements.

[dkoudrinhc]

Interesting @asafkorem , considering the main project boasts about the recorder as a major feature and links to it from the documentation.

[AndersGerner]

Maybe the issue is, that on MacOs 12.1 the AccessibilityUtilities.framework are not located, where the script assumes it should?
https://github.com/wix/DetoxRecorder/blob/99820782a02fb771a7c1da4b2d9834abafc89172/DetoxRecorder/Utils/UIApplication%2BEnableAccessibility.m#L27

Or at least, is not present on my machine - Anybody who knows the new location og those utilities?
I am no swift expert at all, I could just assume, that if that path does not exist, the process could fail?

[mrk-han]

Still not useable with latest Detox

[asafkorem]

Hey everyone, I am sincerely sorry, we're not focusing on this project right now as I mentioned earlier, but it's not yet abandoned either.
For the meanwhile, until we'll have the capacity and focus for this project we are open to contributions from iOS developers.

[StevenHallLtd]

Please consider removing/altering the recommendation here to use detox recorder...
https://wix.github.io/Detox/docs/introduction/writing-first-test#detox-recorder

This was an unfortunate setback in my first time using Detox.

Hopefully I'll enjoy the rest of the product 👍🏼

(PS – I tried the Edit this page link but got a 404)

[johanndeswardt]

@asafkorem Any plans to resurrect this project? In my most humble opinion, this tool would be almost as useful as the Detox framework itself!
