Symptom¶

You get the following errors in the Runner/Server Log:

JavaVM: Failed to load JVM: /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home/bundle/Libraries/lib/myuser/squish-4.x-java-macx86_64/lib/libjvm.dylib

JavaVM FATAL: Failed to load the jvm library.

Possible causes¶

32/64 bit mix up¶

Squish for Java is available in two variants: 32 bit and 64 bit. You must use the variant that matches the number of bits of your Java application when run outside of Squish.

To check this do the following:

• Start your Java application.

• Start Activity Monitor.

• Locate your Java application's process in Activity Monitor.

• Look at the column "Kind" of your Java application's process:

  • Intel - means that your Java application is running as a 32 bit process.

  • Intel (64 bit) - means that your Java application is running as a 64 bit process.

Non existing file libjvm.dylib configured¶

In the file $HOME/.squish/ver1/server.ini change the line...

LibJVM = "/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Libraries/libjvm.dylib"

...to...

LibJVM = "/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Libraries/libserver.dylib"
