Are you implying that there was no error posted ? How is that possible:

("Failed to read quarks directory listing: % %".format(if(fetch, directoryUrl, dirTxtPath), err)).error;

What is the full error message ?

ERROR: Failed to read quarks directory listing: https://github.com/supercollider-quarks/quarks.git a PrimitiveFailedError

Cannot reproduce.

You will have to investigate it and provide some more information.

what does "fresh install" mean exactly ? Did you remove Application Support ? do you have any sclang_conf ?

A primitive failed. What primitive ?

what does "fresh install" mean exactly ?

Three people in a workshop downloaded the latest alpha binary for OSX and had the same problem. This may be our network, but still, it were three cases in a row.

Did you remove Application Support ?

You mean Application Support > SuperCollider? No. But any existing quarks folders.

A primitive failed. What primitive ?

Unfortunately, I can't tell from the error message.

Stick some debugging in, locate the error please. What did you mean about
the network ? Is it possibly caused by not having network access ?

What does "no, but any existing quarks folder" mean?

It sounds like you have encountered a serious issue, but the bug report
needs more information.

I cannot reproduce it myself. Also don't know how to stick debugging in.

It is possible. But we were able to use http as usual.

I meant that I didn't remove Application Support/SuperCollider/, but only Application Support/SuperCollider/downloaded-quarks and Application Support/SuperCollider/quarks.

It sounds like you have encountered a serious issue, but the bug report needs more information.

I understand, but right now I have no access to the situation that caused it.

Do they have git installed ?

No, they haven't. Should they?

Of course. It uses git.

the readme here and in the help file are pretty clear I think:

https://github.com/supercollider-quarks/quarks

So this is perhaps the cause of the error.

Ah ok - if that is the case then the fix would simply be a warning. I'll try on Tuesday.

fix is there

Doesn't the fix solve the issue, such that it can be closed ?

because it hasn't been merged yet. which is my fault. I said I would rename *exec to *call and then merge it.

I had a really big 3 month work project, but that's now complete. I'll try to merge this in the next day or two.
