While using MacOS Catalina (which is suspect is the problem) I recently decided to try emacs, as a recommendation from a friend. I finally get it working and generally figure it out and now when trying to open a project or even trying to ls my Downloads or Documents folder I get an operation not permitted error. I have checked my user (whoami) which the user has permission to run the commands, and I have granted full disk access to all emacs applications I could find, yet to no avail.
UPDATE:
Got it working by running csrutil disable
in recovery mode (yes I understand what the effects of this are), however I still have this error:
Any idea how to resolve this? The only way I can add files to the current project is by using
:edit FILENAME
however I can edit the files just fine, and can run find .
in any folder using the integrated terminal.
.emacs
to fix that: it has to be fixed from outside (which is what I mean by "it's a macos problem", even if it only affects Emacs).
