Unhandled Rejection: Error: Failed to load image from path '/Users/Stuart/src/images/iconTemplate.png'

at /Applications/Goose.app/Contents/Resources/app.asar/.vite/build/main.js:14:6364

Making a directory based from where I called it .... ie:

mkdir src
mkdir src/images
pull down iconTemplate.png from the repo and put it into the images directory

And then ....

run /Applications/Goose.app/Contents/MacOS/Goose

And it brings up the window

However if I use the goose by clicking on the app, it still does not work.

Any thoughts ?

@stujam have you checked this troubleshooting? https://block.github.io/goose/docs/troubleshooting#macos-permission-issues

[stujam]

Hi, yes, and the permissions are correct (as I noted above).

Additionally I manually added the app to the privacy/security access to all Files/folders under settings.

Starting it from the UI ie double clicking the icon, the windows fail to appear.

However,

When you use the command line to start the app, the app fails to find the iconTemplate file

By putting that in place (within a localised src/images directory from the root of where the command line is run) the goose.app runs and windows appear successfully.
