All: I'm a fairly new BBEdit user, having upgraded after years of good experiences with TextWrangler. (I encountered some bumps and bruises in the transition, but Patrick has been both very responsive and very helpful - kudos on providing great customer service!)
But I'm continuously running into an issue with High Sierra and Gatekeeper, which is part of MacOS's security and malware infrastructure. The problem is that almost any .py file I create or edit with BBEdit gets instantly flagged by Gatekeeper as "an untrusted file from the internet," and it gets quarantined. The behavior is simple and reproducible - simply open or create a file with a .py extension, make some change, save it, and run it. In almost all cases, I get the response: -bash: (filename).py: /usr/bin/env: bad interpreter: Operation not permitted Fixing it is trivial, with the command: xattr -d com.apple.quarantine (filename).py ...but the next time I edit the file with BBEdit and try to run it, the quarantine gets reapplied. This behavior has a few quirks: 1) It *only* happens with BBEdit. No other apps on my machine cause this problem to occur. I don't know that BBEdit is *at fault* here - it seems much more likely a MacOS problem - just noting that the problem is specific to BBEdit. 2) It doesn't actually happen with every file and every save. It *does* seem to happen consistently with a file once it starts happening. I have some Python files that I've saved hundreds of times over the past month or so, and Gatekeeper quarantines them every time. Does anyone know what's going on here? Is anyone else having this experience? -- This is the BBEdit Talk public discussion group.
