Hi I've been trying to set up JavaFX on my mac and I followed the tutorial layed out on their website. However, after following through everything, it keeps giving me an error and fails to compile with a message saying access denied in my other accounts Music folder for some reason. I would greatly appreciate any help!

  • @matt I am using the guest account on my mac but I have full read and write privilege on this account. So it is referring to the other account on my system. I can build and run a non-javafx project. – Advait Kulkarni Nov 28 '20 at 17:10
  • Idk what the issue was but I ended up fixing it when I tried running it from my main account. – Advait Kulkarni Nov 28 '20 at 17:34

This happens because you're logged into MacOS as "Guest" user. Since your module-info.java is under the Advait user's directory, the "Guest" user would not have access to read this file.

There are two options to fix this.

  1. Log in as the Advait user
  2. Change permissions on the project directory to allow other users to read/write (not recommended)
