Problem Trying To Access Examples, from within xTIMEcomposer

[aclassifier]

I have almost (*) the same problem with Mac (High Sierra 10.13.6) with xTIMEcomposer 14.4.1. I had to run it offline with my Tools Key.

Feeling it over, I have "always" done it like this, because the examples I have had to find on Github or wherever, by hand. Except I think once, which I cannot replicate or remember. This must be since 13.2.1 I guess.

Maybe the problem is not in everybody's machine, but in the XMOS server?

I have no problem logging into the XMOS site from by browsers (older and newest Chrome and old 28.0 Firefox).

(*) At Startup: "A connection to 'https://www.xmos.com' could not be esatblished. Therefore the xTIMEcomposer will start in offline mode."

Update: I see there is some talk about Java in this thread (which is too long for me to follow..). When I open a terminal window I get, but I don't know if it's relevant:

Code: Select all

mymachine:trail_teig teig$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_65"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_65-b14-468)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.65-b04-468, mixed mode)

here is the error message happening on MacOSX 10.14, when xTIME fails to connect to the xcore.com site:

Tims-MacBook-Pro:XMOS_xTIMEcomposer_Community_14.4.1 tim$ xtimecomposer_bin/xtimecomposer.app/Contents/MacOS/xtimecomposer
2021-02-06 15:38:26.801 xtimecomposer[88305:2100859] NSURLSession/NSURLConnection HTTP load failed (kCFStreamErrorDomainSSL, -9816)

the similar problem with the MacOSX 10.14:

Tims-MacBook-Pro:XMOS_xTIMEcomposer_Community_14.4.1 tim$ xtimecomposer_bin/xtimecomposer.app/Contents/MacOS/xtimecomposer
2021-02-06 15:38:26.801 xtimecomposer[88305:2100859] NSURLSession/NSURLConnection HTTP load failed (kCFStreamErrorDomainSSL, -9816)

but with Linux (Ubuntu 20.04 running with java-8-openjdk-amd64) has no issue, the connection is working just fine.

Interesting. If anybody at XMOS is reading this, please advice! I'd so much want to have a connection with your servers up.

I guess a new version of xTIMEcomposer needs to run on the newest Java runtime plus any of the macOS versions of the previous years.

I've been running an old macOS for that simple reason for long enough now. (And if I didn't have to do this, please advice.)

Plus, some pleasing advice as to that connection.
