It’s a “thing” on OSX.  I run the attached script which fixes things up.  Sadly it has to be run after each build.

I know Jon has the same issue, but I haven’t heard about it from Ian.  Perhaps he has a better solution….

Cheers,
Jeff.

I now tried deleting the old system-wide /Applications/KiCad, and now
when clicking the gerbview button in project manager it gives the same

Hi! I'm having difficulties launching gerbview from my local build.

I'm opening kicad.app like this, while standing in the build directory
(/Users/lijon/Coding/kicad/build/master)

   open kicad/kicad.app

...which works fine. However, clicking the gerbview button in the
project manager launches an old gerbview installed in systemwide
/Applications/KiCad/

Trying to open it manually by

   open gerbview/gerbview.app

fails with "Failed to load kiface library
“/Users/lijon/Coding/kicad/build/Contents/PlugIns/_gerbview.kiface”
and then crashes.

Same with:

   ./gerbview/gerbview.app/Contents/MacOS/gerbview

except now it tries to look in
/Users/lijon/Coding/kicad/build/master/Contents/PlugIns/

I've also tried to stand in the kicad.app directory and open it from
there, but with similar results.

Any ideas how to run a locally built gerbview on macOS?

Cheers
