ExManCmd fails with Abort trap 6 error

MacOS: 10.13.4 (High Sierra)

Running any command with ExManCmd returns: Abort trap: 6

 

No further information is available, even in system log.
Tried with even the latest ExManCmd (7.8.0.15).

 

Would appreciate some help.

    macOS Catalina 10.15.4

    I followed all steps specific to macOS 10.15 on https://helpx.adobe.com/ca/creative-cloud/kb/installingextensionsandaddons.html#Install_extensions_command_line_tool with no lucky.

    Command ExManBridgeTalkCmd and ExManCmd --help worked well.
    But ExManCmd --list all, ExManCmd --install xxx.zxp have error.
    Abort trap: 6

    I googled but no answer was found.
    In EMCL.log, it mentioned DB and config.
    I have experience by removing ExMan.db to resolve Extension Manager issues on Windows before.

    So I tried the same here and it worked.

    Rename or move away following folder and files.

     

    /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Extension Manager CC/Configuration/DB/
    /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Extension Manager CC/Configuration/XManConfigV2.xml

     

     

    Hope it helps.

    As you suggested above, I removed the mentioned folder and files and Now I am able to install the extensions in the machine.

    Thanks a lot Eric_DWKJ

    Hi @vinothr,

     

    That doesn't sound good.

     

    Have you read this guide? https://github.com/Adobe-CEP/Getting-Started-guides/blob/master/Package%20Distribute%20Install/ExManCmd7_8Guide.md

     

    Let me know if those steps help at all...

    I checked the mentioned guide. It mentions that the probem is Catalina specific. However, I am running MacOS 10.13.4 (High Sierra).

     

    Nevertheless, I still proceeded with the steps mentioned and that did not resolve it. I face same error with ExManCmd (7.8.0.15).

    Have you tried running it with `sudo`?

     

    Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling ExManCmd?

     

    Or running it in a different directory?

     

    ExManCmd logs errors here, if that's helpful: /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Extension Manager CC/Log/
