Research direction

Start with runner.go and the Manager.runner method, especially the point immediately after the restart signal. Review how the temporary application is launched on macOS and compare it with the reported codesign and firewall command sequence. Done means the refresh workflow addresses the incoming-network-connections warning without requiring those manual commands.

Description

Hi Mark,

I'm working on a gobuffalo project and on refresh, if I listen on non-localhost, I get the dialog:

Do you want the application “yourapp-build” to accept incoming network connections?

I found that the following sequence of commands clears the warning

sudo /usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall/socketfilterfw --remove `pwd`/tmp/yourapp-build
sudo codesign --force --sign - `pwd`/tmp/payedge-build                            
sudo /usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall/socketfilterfw --add `pwd`/tmp/yourapp-build

And seems we can shove it into runner.go just before cmd is run:

func (m *Manager) runner() {
        var cmd *exec.Cmd
        for {
                <-m.Restart  // right after this

Any plans/thoughts on this topic?

Thanks!
