sumo-gui segmentation fault in Mac OS Catalina

[BrunoSalerno]

With MacOS Catalina and XQuartz 2.7.11, if I try to run sumo-gui (with or without the -c argument) I get:

 segmentation fault  sumo-gui

I installed sumo (version 1.3.1) using homebrew.

We're presently running a competition on CodaLab with users using sumo as a backend. We have around five teams experiencing this problem. Here's one of the threads we are using to debug the issue: https://competitions.codalab.org/forums/18353/3060/.

and here's a relevant console output,

Sorry we do not have Catalina systems here to test. So it might take some time and will definitely not be solved before the competition ends.

[schwamborn]

Turns out Homebrew defaults to attempting to use existing bottles for newer macOS versions. Until a Catalina bottle has been added to the formula, the current workaround is to compile sumo on Catalina yourself (which worked for me, at least):

brew install --HEAD sumo

[BrunoSalerno]

@schwamborn Unfortunately, it doesn't work for me. I still get the segmentation fault

[schwamborn]

In that case, please post the output of:

echo $SUMO_HOME
brew uninstall sumo
brew install --HEAD sumo

[BrunoSalerno]

SUMO_HOME is not defined. If I define it, it still fails.
For example:

% sumo-gui
zsh: segmentation fault  sumo-gui
% echo $SUMO_HOME         

% ls /usr/local/Cellar/sumo/
HEAD-93b75bf
% export SUMO_HOME=/usr/local/Cellar/sumo/HEAD-93b75bf/share/sumo
% which sumo
/usr/local/bin/sumo
% which sumo-gui
/usr/local/bin/sumo-gui
% /usr/local/Cellar/sumo/HEAD-93b75bf/bin/sumo-gui
zsh: segmentation fault  /usr/local/Cellar/sumo/HEAD-93b75bf/bin/sumo-gui
% echo $SUMO_HOME
/usr/local/Cellar/sumo/HEAD-93b75bf/share/sumo

The output of the original homebrew pkg uninstallation is:

% brew uninstall sumo
Uninstalling /usr/local/Cellar/sumo/1.3.1... (999 files, 110.7MB)

The output of brew install --HEAD sumo is:

[schwamborn]

Did you install XQuartz? If not: brew cask install xquartz
Also, what happens if you call the command-line version sumo?

[BrunoSalerno]

@schwamborn yes, XQuartz is installed and working. sumo works well.

[schwamborn]

And I assume your XQuartz is also running fine? Might as well try a reinstall of XQuartz.
What does brew info sumo say?

[BrunoSalerno]

Yes, it looks like XQuartz is running fine. For example, xclock works.
The output of brew info sumo is the following:

After some digging, it looks like there is something seriously wrong with Xcode 11 which might have led to a faulty Catalina bottle of libfox (a requirement for sumo-gui and netedit). For now, a quick and dirty workaround would be to downgrade to the Mojave bottle of fox:

1. Uninstall Catalina bottle of fox:

$ brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies fox

2. Edit brew Formula of fox:

$ brew edit fox

Comment out or delete the following line:

sha256 "c6697be294c9a0458580564d59f8db32791beb5e67a05a6246e0b969ffc068bc" => :catalina

3. Install Mojave bottle of fox:

$ brew install fox

This should also work with the Mojave bottle of sumo v1.3.1. I'm afraid that until this issue has been properly resolved, there won't be any Catalina bottle for sumo.

[BrunoSalerno]

@schwamborn great! It works ;). Thanks for the workaround

[Tabbi7]

Same problem, solved as @schwamborn said! Thank you. ;)

[namdre]

problem not on our end.

You need to enter edit mode which you can by pressing Shift + I, then add # to the start of each line and then finally press ESC and navigate to the bottom to type :x and press enter, this will save the changes you just made.

Thanks a lot @schwamborn. It fixed the issue.
