I got the same error when the SignalBeta/1.21.0-beta.4 update arrived. Note that the Signal Desktop Beta was running for a few hours already without an update prompt. My stable Signal Desktop got the update immediately after start up.

Did this happen repeatedly, or just once? Have you been able to update to v.1.21.0-beta.4?

cheecheeo · 2019-02-06T18:09:10Z

Did this happen repeatedly, or just once? Have you been able to update to v.1.21.0-beta.4?

I've since updated to -beta.4 and now see a different error. I'll close this and reopen if i see it again.

Dyras · 2019-02-07T00:06:19Z

This happened to me immediately before updating to the latest beta.

Immediately after starting Signal after the crash, I received a "A new version of Signal is available" message so if I had to guess, this is an issue with the updater. This has never happened before.
https://debuglogs.org/2f877f19b0736b9eb581e4a4d74e0d93e1eb5537fef0c8372f9a3ac073478933

Will report back if it happens again with the latest beta.

Edit: I'm currently using beta 4, so the update itself doesn't seem to be an issue.

@scottnonnenberg-signal Hey there, I commented a few days ago regarding this same error (I had to make a new account just now) about MacOS (Sierra 10.12.6) showing the "Unhandled Promise Rejection" error on the previous version. I am running Signal V1.21.1 now and the error is still popping up unfortunately. The update worked for a few days but it has returned. I can open up a new bug report here on GitHub if this isn't the right place to comment and/or I can share the text that the error message pops up. Thanks.

scottnonnenberg-signal · 2019-02-13T00:44:01Z

@rocketleaguefan1 What's the line right below the 'unhandled promise rejection?" That's the real error message.

ghost · 2019-02-13T01:45:22Z

@scottnonnenberg-signal It says:
"Unhandled Promise Rejection
Error: Cannot update while running on a read-only volume. The application is on a read-only volume. Please move the application and try again. If you're on macOS Sierra or later, you'll need to move the application out of the Downloads directory. See Squirrel/Squirrel.Mac#182 for more information."

I went to the GitHub website it mentions there at the bottom and I wasn't sure what to do. Someone mentioned removing "Atom" but I don't think I have that downloaded. Please forgive my ignorance in these matters since I know very little about this field. Thank you.

scottnonnenberg-signal · 2019-02-13T17:32:44Z

@rocketleaguefan1 You get that error because macOS has Signal in a read-only quarantine zone. You need to move Signal.app, with Finder, to /Applications. If it still gives you that error, you can try manually removing that quarantine attribute like this: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3145071?answerId=15507936022#15507936022

scottnonnenberg-signal · 2019-02-21T17:33:40Z

Yep, in v1.22.0 we downgraded our install/update infrastructure, which should prevent these errors for all updates after v1.22.0 or v1.22.0-beta.2. There's always a delay, since the new, fixed infrastructure has to be in charge of the new version download.

Ugator · 2019-02-21T23:07:35Z

Experienced the same error today. I was on no beta branch.
Also, my debug log contained my windows username in the program path on this error. I linked it under the corresponding privacy-bug.

Screenshots

an error box with the error text "Error: EPERM: operation not permitted ..." appeared, exiting the error box terminated signal.

I am also getting the same error after updating Signal.

indutny-signal · 2021-11-18T15:29:32Z

@TYeniyayla could you send us a debug log, please?

TYeniyayla · 2021-11-19T14:16:22Z

Ok, I solved the problem. Now let me tell you how. I'm using Signal on my PC at work. I am not the administrator on this pc and every program is installed, admin permission is required. Signal is one of the rare programs installed without admin permission and I have been using it for a long time.

After I did the last update, I started getting an error (error: Signal nhandled Promise Rejection Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, unlink 'C:\Users\ahmet.yeniyayla\AppData\Roaming\Signal\logs\app.log.3') and it was asking for admin permission to read the log files. That's why I couldn't share the log files here and tried to reach the system administrator. I just arrived today.

We tried to read the log files together, but even though it gave me permission for the log files, the file was giving me an access block error, it wouldn't open. Meanwhile, I restarted the computer and signal worked, the log files were opened without any problems. We don't have the slightest clue why it happened, but somehow the problem was solved. Now I am attaching the log files as well. Maybe you have an idea.
