csshx is not working in New Mac OS Release MacOS Mojave

csshx is not working in New Mac OS Release MacOS Mojave.

Getting the following errors :

$ ./csshX host1 host2 host3 host4
**** ERROR **** PerlObjCBridge:: sendObjcMessage: Can't get NSMethodSignature for message "qualifiedSpecifier"
**** ERROR **** PerlObjCBridge: error [1] sending message [NSObject qualifiedSpecifier] at /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.18/darwin-thread-multi-2level/PerlObjCBridge.pm line 248.
$

[banyartibi]

For me the error is:

Can't call method "qualifiedSpecifier" on unblessed reference at /usr/local/bin/csshx line 524.

If I add print commands to Line 523 I get the same like you.

history -d $(($HISTCMD-1)) && clear && exec '/usr/local/bin/csshx' '--master' '--sock' '/var/tmp/tmp.0.COSUMX' '--launchpid' '64635' '--screen' '0' '--debug' '0' '--tile_y' '0' '--tile_x' '0'

[bessudnov]

Same issue

[parera10]

Same error here.

With the last Mojave Beta and csshX versoin.

[emotality]

Same here 😞

[devros42]

Same :( anyone know of an alternative?

[bessudnov]

I set up iTerm 2
I tagged profiles and then open it with top bar menu, that i turn on “Broadcast input to all tabs”

[parera10]

You can try tmux-cssh but it's not the same.

[rdelpret]

unfortunately the original dev / project doesn't look very active anymore.

[sradu]

What have you gals/guys switched to using instead of csshx?

[pkovtunov]

Hi, I've just hot-fixed it by cherry-picking old stuff from 2010.

just replace open_window with this and it should work.

sub open_window {
    my ($pack, @args) = @_;

    # Quote the command arguements
    my $cmd = join ' ', map { s/(["'])/\\$1/g; "'$_'" } @args;

    # don't exec if debugging so we can see errors
    $cmd = "clear && exec $cmd" unless $config->debug;

    # Hide the command from any shell history
    $cmd = 'history -d $(($HISTCMD-1)) && '.$cmd if get_shell =~ m{/(ba)?sh$};
    # TODO - (t)csh, ksh, zsh 

    my $tabobj = $terminal->doScript_in_($cmd, undef) || return;
    my $tty = $tabobj->tty->UTF8String || return;

    my $windows = $terminal->windows;
     # Quickly check if the tty even exists, since the next code is REALLY slow
    #return unless grep { $tty eq $_ } @{Foundation::perlRefFromObjectRef $windows->valueForKey_("tty")};
    for (my $n=0; $n<$windows->count; $n++) {
        my $window = $windows->objectAtIndex_($n);
        my $tabs = $window->tabs;
        for (my $m=0; $m<$tabs->count; $m++) {
            my $tab = $tabs->objectAtIndex_($m);
            if ($tab->tty && ($tab->tty->UTF8String eq $tty)) {
                my $obj = ref $pack ? $pack : $pack->SUPER::new();
                $obj->set_windowid("".$window->id);
                $obj->set_tabid($m);
                return $obj;
            }
        }
    }
}

What have you gals/guys switched to using instead of csshx?

I believe Iterm2 has this functionality built in. Haven't tried it though.

[ghost]

@pkovtuov Thanks for your tips/additional stuffs. When I try, I got this error :

[I] kylix3511$ sh csshX host1 host2
Can't call method "tty" on unblessed reference at ./csshX line 522.
[I] kylix3511$

Any idea ?

[zoil]

Thank you @pkovtuov
@kylix3511 make sure you're executing it from Terminal.app (not iTerm)

[ghost]

Thanks So much @pkovtuov @zoil @omgp0ni3s It works as expected. Thanks so much.

[parera10]

Thanks to @viratgohil and @pkovtuov. I've forked this repos and applied the pull request from @viratgohil. Additionally I've added the homebrew formula so you can install it with homebrew:

If you already have installed it:
brew remove csshx
Then add the tap:
brew tap parera10/csshx
Then install it again:
brew install parera10/csshx/csshx

[lowbatteries]

@parera10 thanks!
Your instructions left me still installing the original (the pin didn’t seem to stick), I needed to run:
brew install parera10/csshx/csshx

[rinchen]

I can confirm that brew install parera10/csshx/csshx works as before on Mojave. Thanks!

[rdelpret]

Thank you @parera10 !!!!

[wolf3142]

@parera10 worked like a charm; thank you!
@zoil is there anyway to have this executable from iTerm2?

[vincentkersten]

@parera10 Thank you, works here as well!

[zoil]

@wolf3142 I'm not sure about that one, sorry.

[tholu]

@parera10 Thanks for the fix! Why was the original csshx on 0.74 and your version is tagged with 0.73.2?

I'm also getting this error:

And the brew info on your csshx is misleading (lists 0.74 as version, refers old repository).

[parera10]

I don't know. I only bundled all together: code from this repo and a fix from a pull request of other user. The version of homebrew seems to come from googlecode. And I've also added a homebrew formula repo for a tap. The last version tagged here is also a 0.73.

iTerm has no fix for Mojave yet. Saluts, Guillem

I had the same issue with iTerm until today, after being prompted to allow iTerm to run AppleScript (and Terminal was mentioned but I don't remember the message exactly). If you can trigger this prompt, that may be what you need.

[thrmyn]

Try upgrading your iTerm2 to the latest version. After upgrading the latest version of iTerm2, and runn csshX, the system prompts you for AppleScript permissions, authorization restart iTerm2.

I solved the problem.

I'm using iTerm2 version is 3.12.

[ogmueller]

I tried everything above and still couldn't solve the problem, until I removed ALL my downloads. I assume, that brew took the previously downloaded csshX for any reason.

$ rm /Users/myself/Library/Caches/Homebrew/downloads/*

after removing all downloads I did:

brew tap parera10/csshx
brew install parera10/csshx/csshx

solved my problem.

[grzesart1978]

@ogmueller work for me too. Thank you

[rpallas]

An alternative you can use with ITerm2 is https://github.com/wouterdebie/i2cssh - it opens separate split panes within ITerm rather than using Terminal.

Once open, you can use [Shift]+[CMD]+[I] to send input to all split panes at once

gem install i2cssh

[amcguign]

Thanks @parera10 - works great for me!

[jiayuasu]

Thanks @parera10! It works for me!

[cmholm]

Thanks @parera10! Works! As @ogmueller said, I needed to:

brew install parera10/csshx/csshx

[archanmishra]

thanks @parera10 works for me with latest iterm
thanks @cmholm i followed your method

brew install parera10/csshx/csshx

[wsgzao]

使用 csshX 同步管理多个 SSH 会话 - https://wsgzao.github.io/post/csshx/

# It works on macOS Mojave 10.14.1 (18B75)
brew install parera10/csshx/csshx

[tholu]

Anybody looking for an alternative, I found tmux-cssh today and I really like it. Nonetheless, I would still consider switching back to csshx, when this package is officially maintained again.

[federicoaaguirre]

hi there, after hours and hours I've finally found a workaround simple, friendly and works like a charm.

https://github.com/wouterdebie/i2cssh It really works perfectly.!

Enjoy it.!

I'm using iTerm2 version is 3.12.

The latest nightly is 3.3, so how are you running 3.12?

The following fix is not working for latest Mojave version 10.14.2 :

brew tap parera10/csshx
brew install parera10/csshx/csshx

Did anyone else face the same issue?

@parera10 Could you please have a look, if possible?

Thanks.

Apparently, it worked this time. The extra step that I did was "brew unlink csshx" before removing the package.

Thanks.

[innnlab]

Thanks @parera10, it works for me. I am using iTerm2, it works well.

Just worked for me on Mac Mojave V10.14.3

brew remove csshx
which csshx
brew tap parera10/csshx
brew install parera10/csshx/csshx
csshX --login username --hostfile

[igorfernandes]

Worked for me on Mac Mojave:

Open Security & Privacy option
Go to Automation
You'll see that iTerm can't control Terminal, just check this flag and work fine.

[corporate-gadfly]

Code from parera10/csshx worked for me on Mojave 10.14.6. Had a slight issue with zsh however. Didn't try with bash. The issue with zsh was that the windows would close immediately after tiling up properly. While trying to diagnose, I specified --debug 1 and voila, the windows were not closing any more.

Hope that helps someone.

[corporate-gadfly]

Code from parera10/csshx works for me in Catalina 10.15.1 as well in zsh only if I include --debug flag. Otherwise, the host windows close immediately.

[manvishan]

I had same issue. The issue was with hung state of terminal(not iterm2) at backend. once restarted the terminal.. it all went fine

[Gaket]

One more potential workaround.

Had the same issue when tried to run it from Intellij Idea Terminal. The fixed version mentioned above didn't work from the Idea terminal as well.

Works for me if started from the MacOs Catalina 10.15.1 Terminal app.
