On OS X 10.6.8.

I seem to be able to run the back-end well enough:

mag@lebigmac:~/prog/TermKit/Node$ node nodekit.js 
   info  - socket.io started

I then start the front-end:

mag@lebigmac:~/prog/TermKit/Build$ ./TermKit.app/Contents/MacOS/TermKit 
2012-01-21 12:45:52.356 TermKit[12355:903] loadView loading URL: file://localhost/Users/mag/prog/TermKit/Build/TermKit.app/Contents/Resources/HTML/index.html
2012-01-21 12:45:52.358 TermKit[12355:903] info plist: 0.3.4-alpha

If I check back on the server side, the following has been output:

   debug - client authorized
   info  - handshake authorized
   info  - handshaken 352cfae1a7389dffa40143803fd76167

   debug - set heartbeat interval for client 352cfae1a7389dffa40143803fd76167

And so on, with the heartbeats.

In short: There does not seem to be anything wrong.

Yet, all I can see in the TermKit.app window is a black void. Apart from the window chrome there is only uniform black color. Typing on the keyboard does not effect any change.

I have tried opening the web inspector, and it seems to have loaded a DOM document and lots of scripts. There are no error messages waiting for me.


I guess the conclusion is: TermKit doesn't complain about anything, yet it does not work. I would be happy to fix any problems it reported, but it reports no problems.
