Could not open database file? #19

~/Library/Messages/chat.db exists, but $db = new SQLite3($chat_db_path, SQLITE3_OPEN_READONLY); fails with Could not open database file.

I tried in a normal SQLite browser and it couldn't open the file either. Is there a trick to getting OS X to let go of this file so it can be read?

It's likely due to Full Disk Access not being enabled for Terminal.

See this for instructions on doing so: https://www.tech-otaku.com/mac/manually-granting-applications-full-disk-access-macos-catalina/

Let me know if it works after enabling FDA for Terminal.
