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):

env RUST_BACKTRACE=full dfx start Starting up the client... thread 'main' panicked at 'Couldn't start executable: Sys(ENOENT)', src/libcore/result.rs:1165:5 stack backtrace: 0: 0x106e396c5 - <std::sys_common::backtrace::_print::DisplayBacktrace as core::fmt::Display>::fmt::h355adbfea9b69e81 1: 0x106e573e1 - core::fmt::write::h0a6fa03a6719e234 2: 0x106e37a09 - std::io::Write::write_fmt::h4ee006266df2263e 3: 0x106e3cc34 - std::panicking::default_hook::{{closure}}::ha12dae99d957e66b 4: 0x106e3c962 - std::panicking::default_hook::h44527206a56250c5 5: 0x106e3d2bb - std::panicking::rust_panic_with_hook::hbd167ed9e2c235b1 6: 0x106e3ce19 - std::panicking::continue_panic_fmt::h75e9347d75167545 7: 0x106e3cd19 - rust_begin_unwind 8: 0x106e56efc - core::panicking::panic_fmt::h001cf11361048a09 9: 0x106e5b509 - core::result::unwrap_failed::h5fc509d43c77f16c 10: 0x106e24dbd - packager::main::hefb81253650f4d0d 11: 0x106e26626 - std::rt::lang_start::{{closure}}::h503c755c140699db 12: 0x106e3ccf8 - std::panicking::try::do_call::hfb024a99db52bb27 13: 0x106e43aef - __rust_maybe_catch_panic 14: 0x106e4265b - std::rt::lang_start_internal::h6e149180bd1da82a ⠉ Replica exited with exit code: 101 An error occured: AgentError( TimeoutWaitingForResponse, )

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

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