:qMacOS: Error: Failed to initialize log. No logging is enabled: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/Users/snowsql_rt.log_bootstrap'

Question

I have downloaded and installed SnowSQL onto my Mac.

After entering the following command

snowsql -a zx12334 -u someone

I am getting the following error

Failed to initialize log. No logging is enabled: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/Users/snowsql_rt.log_bootstrap'

Any idea how I could fix it?

In my config file, I have enabled log_file = ../snowsql_rt.log. It does so automatically by installer.

In your config file (~/.snowsql) you need to modify this line:

log_file = ../snowsql_rt.log

to this:

log_file = ~/.snowsql/snowsql_rt.log

Thank you Sergiu! One step closer! For some reason, it took out that Errno 13, but now it says, " [Errno 8] Exec format error: '/Users/csamanie/.snowsql/1.2.9/snowsql' " Any Ideas what could be the problem? – CarlosX2X Nov 06 '20 at 15:57
Have you installed the MAC version? Run **file /Users/csamanie/.snowsql/1.2.9/snowsql** and provide output. – Sergiu Nov 06 '20 at 16:04
Also maybe try to reinstall using version 1.2.10 (remove first 1.2.9 by deleting **rm -rf ~/.snowsql/1.2.9** – Sergiu Nov 06 '20 at 16:10
After running the file: "/Users/csamanie/.snowsql/1.2.9/snowsql: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, BuildID[sha1]=some-long-string, stripped" – CarlosX2X Nov 06 '20 at 16:41
I was able to get rid of that error by uninstalling and reinstalling 2.10. After running snowsql -a . -u I got "Installing version: 1.2.10 [####################################] 100% Unsupported option is found: SNOWSQL_DOWNLOAD_DIR" – CarlosX2X Nov 06 '20 at 16:45
I got it working! Thank you so much Sergiu for your help! – CarlosX2X Nov 06 '20 at 16:52
