Replica exited with exit code: 101

Hi There

Not sure what has happened with dfx start, i received the following error:

$dfx start ⠁ Starting up the client... thread 'main' panicked at 'Couldn't start executable: Sys(ENOENT)', src/libcore/result.rs:1165:5 ⠈ Replica exited with exit code: 101 An error occured: AgentError( TimeoutWaitingForResponse,

I tried to uninstall and reinstall (version 0.5.5) but the problem still persists. Upon checking, it seems this is in the rust compiler, but i have no access to the source code thus no clue what is going on.
When using dfx -v start there is no verbosity of outputs produced (exactly the same as above).
I understand that this is still in alpha version, but any clear explanation is most welcomed!

Best,

If this isn’t a new project, try dfx start --clean, though this might not be a checkpoint issue.

For more error details you could try running with the RUST_BACKTRACE environment variable set to 1 or full, eg:

env RUST_BACKTRACE=full dfx start

Hi Ori

Thanks for the stack trace option. I actually check for both old projects and also created a new one with dfx new but the same result when i dfx start (tho build works just fine).

With the --clean, no real result.
i just created a new project with dfx new test and it’s the same response. But when i use the env RUST_...etc the followings appear (don’t know if there is any clue to this):

Can you try rm -rf $TMPDIR/ic-*

FWIW, this now helps me overcome the same issue (dfx start not succeeding, and timing out)
