No luck running on M1 Mac about thonny-py5mode

Thanks! It might be that JRE isn't installing properly, or maybe not to the JAVA_HOME path. I'll investigate ...

Thanks for the report. Which version of Thonny are you running?

3.3.7

Thank you!

Thanks for the report @caluap!
I think you showed me the contents of the folder pointed by JAVA_HOME and there was something installed there, do I remember it correctly?

I find this MacOS "Contents" hidden folder inside applications a bit confusing (not sure this is the case, here). Is the second path shown in the debug info a valid one?
{'JAVA_HOME environment variable': '/Users/calua/Library/Thonny/jdk-17', 'jvm version': (0, 0, 0), 'default jvm path': '/Users/calua/Library/Thonny/jdk-17/Contents/Home/lib/libjli.dylib'}

Cheers @caluap!

I wonder if you could try setting JAVA_HOME "outside" Thonny, like I did for my Windows batch-file for Portable Thonny...
This is from a confusing Oracle documentation:

$ export JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home -v 17`

I encountered issues with Thonny 4.0.1. It seems JDK-17 is unhappy on my M1 machine. So I manually downloaded and extracted JDK-18, then set the path (in Thonny options) manually, and things ran fine. So maybe just requires jdk-install to use JDK-18. I will test and amend it for the next release (if 18 solves the problem).

Cheers @caluap !

My friend @ericof managed py5 in his M1 Mac, can you give it another go? Maybe you could ask Erico for help...

Just got a MacBook Pro M2. This commit, which will be in the next release, should solve the problem --

No idea if this breaks M1 support ...
