Server.callWithGET broken on Mac compiled plugins

LeeC

@d-healey yeah same thing in Reaper.

Ok, so I'm using Mojave 10.14.6 and the plugin is not signed.
Do you reckon that the plugin not being signed could prevent it from calling a server?

d.healey

@LeeC On Mojave I wouldn't expect any issues. Same with both VST and AU?

d.healey

Might be relevant https://forum.juce.com/t/network-connection-from-audio-plugin/38105/4

LeeC

@d-healey yep VST and AU don't call out to a server on Mac.

LeeC

@d-healey tried using https and had the same issue on Mac across all my DAWs vst/au.

Is anybody else with a Mac machine available to test this out.

Cheers

Same issue with Standalone?

LeeC

@d-healey yep same issue with standalone on a mac

@d-healey yep same issue with standalone on a mac

Debug the standalone in xcode and see what the server response is (if any).

LeeC

@d-healey will have to look into how to do this to be honest.
If anybody else get a chance to check this snippet it would be appreciated.

Open the projucer file create by HISE, go to file >> save and open in IDE. In xcode select build >> for running. This will create a debug build and once it's finished it should automatically launch the app and the debugger.

LeeC

@d-healey yeah works fine using the debugged build.

So is thinking that this an issue that I should raise as a bug?

I was really hoping that somebody else could check this real quick just incase there's something going on with configuration.

d.healey

@LeeC

yeah works fine using the debugged build.

I wasn't expecting that... try a debug build of the VST and see if that works. If it does then something in the optimisation must be breaking it which seems weird.

@d-healey yep same thing with the debug build of the VST/AU on mac. Really appreciate you guiding me through the troubleshooting on this... Not sure what else to try here.

d.healey

In Projucer, try different options in the Debug section, do it one option at a time, until it breaks like the release version. It might take a while, it's a brute force method to try and find the cause.

ulrik

@LeeC I tested in Logic Pro X, works!
Reaper v.5.9, both AUi and VST3 fails, I didn't compile any VST2 version
DSP-Quatro v.5.6, AUi works

I'm on Mac OS 10.14.6

ulrik

@ulrik Ableton Live 10, both AUi & VST3 fails

LeeC

@ulrik thanks for testing on your system.
It looks like we may have a problem and we might need to call Mr Hart!

I know a few people are planning on adding server functionality to their released plugins for
Authentication, upgrades and other things so this seems important I think.

What version of Logic Pro X did you check it on by the way?

Christoph Hart

Before I go into debugging this (which sounds annoying because it only happens in an optimised build if I understand this right), you might try a better test example that logs the response so you see what's happening

function logResponseCallback(status, obj)
{
    obj.StatusCode = status;
    FileSystem.getFolder(FileSystem.Desktop).getChildFile("log.txt").writeObject(obj);
}

LeeC

@Christoph-Hart sure I'll give this a try but from monitoring outbound traffic on my Mac, it appears that no calls are being made from the compiled plugin.
ie. Nothing gets to the server in order to get back obj.StatusCode= status;

I'll try it out and see.

Christoph Hart

In this case you'll get a 404 response after the server timeout (I think it's 20 seconds by default). So just to recap:

only macOS
only compiled plugin - inside HISE it works
only VST / AU plugins in any host
only the release build

Because that's kind of the most annoying debug setup, like take the worst option from all of those and combine in into a debugging hell...
