Can't import CSV data on Mac

Well, I'm on 10.6.8 thus Java 6... Unresolvable as far as I know...

Hi,

I'm afraid if you do not have access to Java 7, you will either need to use RM 5.3.008, or update your OS to Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8) for the imports to work correctly.

Im having the same problem on a mountain lion with Java 7 (v25)

I'm on Mountain Lion and using RM 5.3.013. I have Java 7.

I opened RM from inside the scripts folder by double clicking RapidMinerGUI.

When the tool started the first time, I was not prompted for creating a new repository. I started a New Process and then created a new repository. If I try to import a .csv, I get nothing and there's not error messages either.

Can someone help?!

Hi,

what does it say when you enter the following in your terminal?

java -version

Hi March

java version "1.6.0_43"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_43-b01-447-11M4203)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.14-b01-447, mixed mode)

That's what  I see.

Hi,

so your Mac is not using Java 7 as the default JVM. Can you try the following:
Go to your Java Preferences in the utilities, and change the order (drag) so Java 7 is at the top.
Then run the terminal test again.

Marco

Thanks Marco

The funny thing is that in my java preferences under Java Runtime Environment Settings, I only see 1.7. The Java Control Panel is available in my System Preference and that means my system is using Java 7 (I think) but when I run the command Java -version in my terminal, it still returns:
java version "1.6.0_43"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_43-b01-447-11M4203)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.14-b01-447, mixed mode)

I am at a complete loss on forcing my system to use Java 7.

It turns out when I installed Java 7 it didn't get rid of Java 6.  I had to get rid of Java 6 then reinstall java 7 then the program worked fine.

Hi

 I am running RM 5.3.013 and OSX 10.8.5 and this feature still does not work????  I can not import CSV files.

Any ideas????

Hi,

what does echo $JAVA_HOME say when you enter it in the terminal?

Nothing is returned. It's blank.

I suspect we need to set this in some type of profile?

Hi,

The same thing happened to me. Two things got it working:

Open the Java Preferences Utility (Applications > Utilities) and move Java 7 to the top. [This is different from the System Preferences, which, as you've seen, doesn't do any good.]

I did this before I figured out the Preferences, so don't know how much difference it made. I installed the Java Developer's Kit (JDK), I think from the advice of another post on here.

Good luck!

Well, following these steps has broken my RM installation.

I proceeded with the following steps.

Removed Java 6
Installed Java 7 SDK
Set JAVE_HOME to new Java 7 location
Set Path to include new Java location

On RM start it bombs out with the following error:

Would be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance.

This same problem is happening to me.  I am running Java 7 SDK.  I got RM to run on my Macbook air running Mountain Lion, but cannot get it to import CSV or excel.  When I try to use the Import data command, nothing happens....

On my iMac running Mavericks, I cannot even get RM to open, it shows the loading screen, then the GUI crashes with a message similar to what Paul Alford reports.  I don't know enough about the code to be able to understand what it's doing wrong or how to fix it.

Hi,

just to be clear: You are trying to press the arrow next to the button, and nothing happens? (Yes, I know this is not optimal and it will be changed in the future.)

I had exactly the same problem. I'm running Mavericks and Rapidminer Version 5.3.13.

I had Java 7 installed but Mac was not using it (when i ran "java -version" I got the version 1.6).

I followed the steps described in the page:

http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/58116/enabling-java-7-on-mountain-lion

and everything works as expected after that.

Having the same issues on Mavericks with RM 5.3.015. If Java 7 is installed, RM crashes out at GUI start with EXC_BAD_ACCESS (see below).

If I remove Java 7 and use Apple Java 6, then RM starts but neither CSV, Excel, nor XML import work.

Following the steps linked by earmijo didn't fix the issues for me.
